Hello everyone,

Today we’re releasing our first major patch for Baldur’s Gate 3, addressing over 1000 bugs, balancing, flow issues and much, much more. Patch 1 is too big for our usual patch notes due to Steam’s character limit, so for the full notes head to this link:

Steam :: Baldur's Gate 3 :: Patch #1 Now Live!

Version Number: 4.1.1.3669438

did this really needed a thread?

I'll hop back into the game when they add back most of the ending content. It's obviously quite unfinished, especially with the resolution to some companions.

did this really needed a thread?

Yeah, it did. Patch notes alone are multiple pages. This is pretty damn significant.

 

[ArtHands]

The update is really big. I downloaded it a short while ago. I will check it out tomorrow

We can just talk about it in the OT

Every single brain fart GAF members have is thread worthy.

I think news like this are good to get folks to look at the game who are not normally looking at OT.

But some might have left the OT, waiting for a patch.

These are some amazing patch notes:

• During Gale's spell-teaching scene, you now have the option to picture a future with Gale that falls somewhere in between kissing him and kicking him in the head.

It is a 100 hour game. Cant believe people complain about cut content.

Can’t wait for the next patch thread

 

[tmlDan]

god, this is a huge patch - they work faster than most devs with far more resources.

I'll complain as much as I want when some of endings to that 100 hour game are deeply unsatisfying. Especially when they cut hours of ending narration.

Do people really like those slide shows at the end of rpgs? I always fazed out whenever they came up

did this really needed a thread?

We had threads for every new elden ring patch

...don't think we needed those either

Well it is a fair point.

It's not just that, a number of quests and especially companion related ones don't end well. I'm not a fan of sinking 100 hours into something and then walking away with a bad resolution. Lots of your decisions throughout the game just feel like they had zero impact

The game is amazing, I just wish it ended well. They can take a page from Wrath of the Righteous, now that was how you handle endings and resolution.

I just wanted a little bromance with the dude. No homo.

I often hear that game has terrible companions, is filled with pointlessly boring mechanics, tons upon tons of gamebreaking bugs as well as its own big list of cut content.

Sorry but i'd rather have a game that is amazing throughout and ends somewhat unsatisfactorly than one that has issues all the way through. Oh and lets not get started on them slicing their game with season passes and expansions.

I'm in the middle of Act 3 and so far i only encountered 2 bugs and a glitch, nothing really annoying for a big RPG like this, as far as i know every complex RPG was known to have some bugs, its part of the DNA, its the price you pay for complex, dynamic and branching path systems.
The bugs & glitch are: Wyll exclamation mark in the camp (act2+) now gone. Romance in the circus scene had my companion go invisible (fixed by reloading my save), Dialogue choice in the Inn of Baldur's Gate Wyrm's crossing, where the dialogue was stock in one choice (fixed by reloading my save).
Now in this patch they will probably be gone for good, i didnt encounter any major bugs so far. Act 3 is more demanding because of crowd density i guess, but on the other hand the city feels very alive.

Masterpiece of RPG

I like the game and I'm happy to read about news regarding the game, but I don't have the time to read 50 million posts in the OT until I may or may not see information about a new patch.

So yeah, threads like this are quite useful for me.
