Baldur's Gate 3 patch 4 has arrived, as developer Larian Studios continues to polish one of 2023's best games to a fine sheen. With over 1,000 changes in this latest BG3 update on Steam, it's clear that the team is still hard at work on making your in-game experience even better, and as someone who is still far from done with my multiple playthroughs including a full four-player run I'm certainly happy about that.

After Astarion, another bugged Baldur's Gate 3 NPC shows too much
Baldur's Gate 3 is a pretty complex game so it's not surprising that bugs have cropped up. And Larian has been on the ball squashing most of them. But there's one glitch which, like Astarion's X-rated bug before it, has left an NPC with a little too much on display. Be warned, you might need the goggles for this one.

You. Yes, you. Baldur's Gate 3’s developers know you lick that spider carcass in the Gauntlet of Shar during every playthrough, and the game’s latest patch will ensure you might regret it next time you do.
This regret, which comes in the form of the potential to lose your lunch after giving the charmed arachnid’s corpse a good long run along your tongue, in what I assume will likely be a new penalty for failing the constitution check this activates. To lull would-be spider-lickers into a false sense of security, Larian has tactfully hidden this addition among the over 1000 fixes, tweaks and changes it’s packed into the game’s fourth patch.
As detailed in the patch’s notes, the most notable new features it boasts include the ability to dismiss dead avatars to Withers' Wardrobe and have the skeleton explain how it works, as well as the ability to customise the appearances of hirelings when you’re recruiting them.
