Baldur's Gate 3
-
Also RIP if you’re using mods, ahahahaaha
-
@SpaceKhomeini - While the list is quite large for updates and tweaks, it still being v4.1.1 means the changes are relatively minor under the hood for modded games. Like the photo mode one I adore was updated in about 10 mins and mostly bug fixes that the person was working on between versions anyway.
-
Unless your mods rely on the script extender, I guess Norbyte (the author) just drank themselves into a stupor after looking under the hood. Yikes.
Also this patch just introduced some really ugly bugs (customization sliders in Chargen stopped working, as an example).

Oh shit, really? Because, yeah, I do rely on the script extender for some mods.

An option to make ending turns on a controller require a hold rather than a press is a godsend.
-
Patch 5 just dropped, adding a bunch of stuff, like two new difficulty modes. For those of you that really hate yourself(like me) wanted a higher challenge than Tactician, we now have Honour mode. There’s also Custom mode as well. But most importantly.
It adds a playable epilogue that takes place six months after the end of the game. So I suppose that explains why the update this morning was almost 30 fucking GBs of data.
-
@Testament ACTUALLY, the REAL most important update is that you can manage the inventories of everyone, including people not in your party, while you’re at camp.
-
@Roz I mean, yes, there’s that as well. Also allowing you to recruit Minthara on a good playthrough(so long as you knock her out instead of killing her).
And I know for some of my friends, being able to kiss Astarion has been properly fixed.
And if you really wanted to wear Orin’s outfit, you can do that too.

Psh, all of those are MINISCULE compared to improved inventory management. Inventory management is a constant part of the game, so improving it gives you a much higher return in terms of the benefit.
(Also unpopular opinion but while I do find the efforts to recruit Minthara via sheep polymorphing or w/e it is to be funny, I just straight up think that in terms of the game actually intentionally supporting it – it shouldn’t need to. I think it’s okay for her to be mutually exclusive with Halsin.)
-
@Roz Another unpopular opinion is that Halsin shouldn’t even be a companion. You already get a Druid in Jaheria and she’s already an established and well loved character.
Personally, I’ll take Minthara over Halsin every time, largely because she brings far more to the table.

Don’t disagree re: Halsin; I think he’s sadly underbaked as a companion. I’d absolutely take Minthara over him, except for the others you also lose out on doing the usual route to recruiting her.
-
@Roz Thankfully, Patch 5 has provided another way to recruit her.

I am but a week away from getting a computer capable of running baldur’s gate 3. Once I make sure the machine is actually going to work I’m going to buy it on steam. I cannot wait to play this game. I’m old and about to die so I’m going to spend the last few years of my life acting like I’m 14.
