This first major patch will include 1,000 fixes and optimizations to further refine the gaming experience and address various issues of the popular RPG.
Larian Studios is also planning a second patch that will take player feedback into account. The planned order of updates is as follows:
- Hotfix 4
- Patch 1 with more than 1,000 improvements and bug fixes
- Patch 2 – addressing initial player wishes
What are the biggest wishes of the players? In Baldur’s Gate 3, players spend heaps of time in character creation. The character editor offers a wide range of customization options. A major wish of the players is to be able to change the appearance of their character during their playthrough.
What’s not surprising: Who doesn’t love giving their character a new hairstyle or hair color – and that after starting the game? In Divinity: Original Sin 2, this was possible. The developers have already confirmed on Twitter, that this feature will come. In what form and when this feature will be available is still unclear.
Other wishes of the players: Under the Twitter post from Swen Vincke, players share what features they would like to see:
- Fishing
- Access to the inventory of all companions in the camp
- Pockets for specific items: for example, a pocket just for potions
- Change group members without having to talk to both
- Transmog
