Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 6 is Now Live

Since Baldur’s Gate 3 was released, there have been a lot of additions, changes, and bug fixes. These additions have taken community feedback to heart, as well as fine-tuning various issues as the development team spots them. With the 6^th major patch, it seems that love is in the air.

Patch 6 brings a variety of changes to romantic interactions, as well as new camp idle animations and more. As always, there are a hefty number of changes involved in the Patch Notes. However, here is what the press release had to say about the update.

“Baldur’s Gate 3’s latest patch is out now! Today’s update brings improved kisses, camp idle animations, [and] new Legendary Actions for bosses in Honour Mode[.] along with a wealth of quality-of-life improvements, additions[,] and fixes based on community feedback.

Patch 6 introduces new and randomized kisses for every romantic partner! These unique scenes will now better reflect the personalities of each character, and have been improved to better accommodate taller and shorter body types. We’ve also breathed new life into the player camp, with a bunch of all-new idle animations that let companions spend their free time doing more than standing around.

Today’s update isn’t all about romance. Brave adventurers can look forward to new Legendary Actions in Honour Mode, while those who want to tweak their experience can now switch to Custom Mode from any set difficulty. Patch 6 also brings numerous quality-of-life improvements, including the much-requested ability to dismiss recruited companions while speaking to the companion you want to replace them with. In addition, when a dialogue triggers automatically, the game will also now try to prioritize your avatar character as the main speaker, rather than whoever was at the front of the party – sorry Astarion!”

As always, the developers are still hard at work on new fixes, refinements, and updates. As a fan of Baldur’s Gate 3, I can’t wait to see what Larian comes up with next. However, this does mean all you modded players will probably need to find updated versions of your favorite mods.
