Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Latest News Updated: Pre-patch Announcement

I am just curious what's coming. It's in a very early state and just can become better

Great news! I would love to see jump shortcut If I remember correctly most of the updates were on Tuesday right?

Thanks for the heads up !

I'm still playtesting a number of things, and thus need to have saves at various points. Although I have really more saves than I need ... And the game as it is, i.e. BG3 Playtesting Edition, current lets me go to level 3 and near camp celebration within 5h of starting a new game. But I'd rather finish what I'm doing with my current saves.

Would be nice to know if it's hours away or days away. :P Curious about this patch, it seems like the first one to bring something besides technical fixes.

Yes I'm really curious as well.

*hits the update button frantically*

Very nice. Me, I'm gonna scrap my old saves and begin anew. I completed my first playthrough two weeks ago, and now I'm just restarting and trying new classes/races/paths. I've started about a half dozen times in the last two weeks. I'm gonna start a new playthrough when the patch hits.

There is an UPDATE button??

Me too. In fact, I've already done it. My game is a clean slate and I'm just waiting for the patch to hit. Everyone else at work will be looking forward to the Thanksgiving weekend, I'll be sitting there impatient to get home and see if there's been a Steam update.

Yeah, I'm going to start over too, not like I got that far anyway.

I was a half-elf Warlock (CHA build) for my first playthrough, don't know what I'll be now.

TFW you want to start a new character but you're not sure if you should wait

You should definitely wait for this patch to hit, or your saves won't be compatible (unless you opt out of the upcoming branch).

Very excited for this!

Is there a time frame for when this is going to occur? This week (Nov 23rd through 27th) or next week (Nov 30th through Dec 4th) or the following week (Dec 7th through 11th)?

Before the Christmas holiday would be nice, BUT, you know, tomorrow would be nice too

I think "just around the corner" means "a couple of days" at most... but who knows.

Looking forward to this, whenever it arrives. I've gone through about 80% of the content, and stopped there a couple of weeks ago. I can handle about one more full playthrough of Act 1, and then I'll probably wait for the final release.

I feel like an option for an equivalent to like "newgame+" with your current character.

Obviously if the narrative changes conflict with the current patch you cant just keep your old characters but keeping the level you've worked towards at a minimum would be nice to soften the blow. Be even nicer if you could keep your equipped gear and/or approval rating but I get that is a bit unrealistic.

lol

Oh well, at least I finished a full run with whom I thought would have been my principal toon.

Alas I'll say farewell.

Now I am curious so I hope the pathc doesn't land too far in the near future ^^
