Baldur's Gate 3 News

I don’t need Baldur’s Gate 3’s physical Deluxe Edition but, gods, do I want it

Look, I’m fairly certain you’ve played Baldur’s Gate 3 already. In fact, you’ve probably played a bunch of it, whether you’ve spent that time killing goblins, shagging bears or smooching the internet’s favourite vampire husband. So, like me, there’s no real reason you’d need another copy of the game. And yet.

Baldur's Gate 3's 11th hotfix is here, bringing with it a neat little list of tweaks and remedies to Larian's incredible RPG. But frankly, who cares?

Baldur's Gate 3 hotfix 11 makes intimate moments more magical

Baldur's Gate 3 handles its companion relationships rather beautifully at times, so it's a shame when an unfortunately timed bug spoils your most intimate moments right at their climax.

Hotfix #11 Now Live!

Hello everyone,

We’ve got a new hotfix for you today, addressing several bugs, visual issues and blockers.

Have you ever had a romance so intense, that everything melts away? Well, sometimes that isn’t intentional. We’ve fixed an issue where Gale’s romance scene was playing in what looked like some kind of black void. Consider the ambience restored.

We are aware of an issue with kissing animations for Astarion, and are currently working on a fix. We expect this to be released in a future update. Thank you for all your reports and messages, and thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3! If you have any bugs to report, please reach out to our support team.

FIXES

You can now use soaps encountered in savegames before Patch 4.
Fixed the game sometimes freezing indefinitely after a reaction to a spell that hits you with multiple projectiles.
Fixed a crash after using a reaction that causes an attack against a dead creature.
Fixed an issue causing you to get stuck in certain dialogues unable to continue.
Fixed a blocker that could occur when trying to Long Rest.
Dominated followers will now follow the party as expected after loading a savegame.
Fixed Gale's romance scene playing in what looks like a black void.
Fixed a Dark Urge flashback accidentally teleporting you to the Lower City.
The Cursed Skulls in Jannath's Estate are now vulnerable to Force and Radiant damage.
Fixed an issue that prevented certain characters from executing their behaviours.
Fixed citizens and refugees in Baldur's Gate sometimes jittering about the place or not using their proper animations.

Fixed an issue where a companion's camp night dialogue could be replaced by a different dialogue that couldn't trigger during a previous night.

Baldur's Gate 3 gets new physical release, preorders open now

Baldur's Gate 3 is my all-time favorite game, and it looks like I can finally get my hands on a physical edition. Larian Studios just revealed that a new Deluxe Edition is available for preorder, and it comes with much more than just the base game itself. If you're like me and missed the previous Collector's Edition preorder with all of the fun goodies, this is the perfect opportunity to get some cool BG3-related extras as well as a shiny physical copy to show off.
