Your Baldur's Gate 3 inventory woes are finally over

Baldur's Gate 3 inventory management can be a pain. With so much to see, do, collect, and use to create your perfect build, shifting items around and leaving yourself some space is a constant challenge in the DnD mega hit. Thankfully, the new BG3 patch remedies some of our latest inventory woes, as Larian implements fixes for companions, crashes, and multiplayer - and the world's greatest videogame cat, His Majesty, has been completely shaved.

After fan outcry, Larian re-shaves Baldur's Gate 3's most popular cat

Baldur's Gate 3 features an incredibly popular hairless cat called His Majesty, but after fans denounced a recent update adding hair to him, Larian has put out a hotfix correcting its mistake.

You know him, you love him: it's His Majesty. The hairless sphynx cat quickly rose to stardom when players started making their way through Baldur's Gate 3 because he's a funny little naked guy that thinks he's better than everyone else. What's not to love? But then, tragedy struck: patch 3 was released for Baldur's Gate 3, which did allow you to change your appearance whenever you want. Players did have some problems with the patch, but one difference was the worst above all… His Majesty was no longer hairless.

One of the patch notes even made mention of it, saying "updated the visuals of His Majesty, who previously looked like Steelclaw. His Majesty's appearance now befits his name and nature." This couldn't be further from the truth, for we all know His Majesty's true brilliance came not only from within, but from his hairlessness. Fans quickly derided the decision, demanding that he be changed back to his previous glory. Thankfully, Larian listened!

Readers, our long national nightmare is over. An injustice has been rectified, light shines where once there was only darkness, your children can sleep soundly in their beds. I speak, of course, of Baldur's Gate 3's latest hotfix, which has restored His Majesty—everyone's favourite overweening feline—to his original, superior, and hairless form...

Latest Baldur's Gate 3 update fixes the shared stash issue and re-shaves the cat

Larian have released a new Baldur's Gate 3 update which - in news that will surely lead to V-Day-style mass celebrations throughout the forts and dungeons of Faerûn - removes the loathed shared stash system introduced by Patch 3, which caused companions to dump their entire inventories on you when dismissed. The new patch reverts companion behaviour to their pre-Patch 3 behaviour, for a less frustrating RPG experience. In even more momentous tidings, it re-shaves that cat everybody loves. Ah, videogames.

Hotfix #8 Now Live!

Hello everyone,

We’ve got another hotfix for you today, fixing multiple bugs, crashes and visual issues.

Have your companions taken to weighing you down physically as well as emotionally? We looked into your reports and have restored their Patch 2 behaviour. When dismissed, they will no longer give you all the items they deem important for you to carry, like a toddler in a grocery store.

More importantly, we shaved His Majesty.

Thank you for reporting these issues to us. If you have any bugs to report, please reach out to our support team. Thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3.
