Patch 6 for Baldur's Gate 3 is now live! If you're looking for full patch notes after reading our latest Community Update, you've come to the right place. Read on, brave adventurer! Please note that these patch notes are intended as a guide to what is new in Patch 6 of Baldur’s Gate 3. They are not exhaustive. Baldur’s Gate 3 - Patch 6 notes NEW: - Added new Grymforge region, an ancient Sharran fortress featuring new content, quests, combat, and mysterious NPCs to face. Added setup for several Grymforge quests in the Underdark.
- Added new Sorcerer class, featuring two unique subclasses: Wild Magic and Draconic Bloodline. - Wild Magic: Embrace chaos and manipulate the forces of chance to gain advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, or saving throws - and potentially trigger a random effect in doing so. Examples include putting everyone around you on fire, gaining teleport as a bonus action or summoning a hostile mephit!
- - Draconic Bloodline: Channel the powers of your dragon ancestors and wield deadly fire, lightning, acid, poison, or cold damage to destroy your enemies.
- Sorcerers of Draconic Bloodline will also gain a spell that matches the ancestor, for example Red Dragon provides access to Burning Hands
- You also gain access to a unique visual customization option in the form of the draconic scales.
- New Sorcerer spells were added:
- Horrific Visage: A new Tadpole Action that makes your enemy bleed and allows the Sorcerer to leech a Sorcery Point off of them.
- Enlarge/Reduce: This new spell alters a character's size, affecting their physical stats in the process.
- Chromatic Orb: A powerful new single-target nuke that allows Sorcerers to hurl a sphere of energy at their foes.
- Cloud of Daggers: This spell protects the caster, surrounding them in a cloud of flying daggers.
- Crown of Madness: As the name suggests, this spell sends an enemy mad, and can cause them to attack their nearby allies.
- Metamagic: Metamagic is the Sorcerer's signature feature which allows you to adapt your spells in the heat of combat. With it, you can increase a spell's range, duration, or hit two enemies simultaneously, among other powerful variations on your spells - making you a powerful and unpredictable presence in battle.
- Added new weapon actions, giving ranged and melee weapons up to three lethal signature moves - now non-magic wielders have more options at their disposal in combat as long as they are proficient with the weapon.

Steam thinks this will be a 37.7 GB download. Is that accurate? 76.x GB here on Gog...because of the doubling up on the downloaded files needed by the patch & installation process of the game, so 37.7GB sounds about right for the total size of the installed & patched game...(the size up to this point in time, that is... we know not what the future shall bring...;)) I am inordinately pleased at such a short interval between the announcement announcing the announcement of the patch, and the patch itself...;) Just a few days! Bravo Larian! I had expected at least a couple of weeks between the announcement of the announcement announcing the patch, and the patch itself! Thank you Larian--heartfelt it is...!
I'm never wrong about anything, and so if you see an error in any of my posts you will know immediately that I did not write it...;)

So many fixes ... Yet none mentioned Devil's Sight, Loviathar's Scourge or The Whispering Promise. Shame.

I guess it's not coming to stadia today. Please don't forget that the game costs the same on stadia as it does on Steam and GOG. It would really be great if the patches were released at the same time as well. I guess I'll keep waiting until I hear that it has been posted to stadia.

Can you imagine the outrage if stadia got the patch a day before Steam? People would lose their minds.

It's 36,2 GB on Steam, but I loaded it in about an hour time. Which is much faster than the patch 4 big update. I think that one was double the size, but it took me 18 hours.
My network hasn't improved that much, I think, so the load seems to have been optimised quite a bit.

Note: Mac and Stadia have not yet been updated to Patch 6 - this will follow shortly. How shortly? I was hoping to take Monday off from work.

The day BGIII Early Access was available I purchased a copy on Steam so my wife can play it on her Mac or I can play on my Mac (family sharing on Steam let's us both play the game just not simultaneously). I also bought a copy for me on Stadia, not just because the game wouldn't load on Steam for several hours that day, but because I prefer playing games on Stadia and having copies on both platforms would allow us to play multiplayer.
Cool! Patch 6 is out today, let's go play it on our Mac... no? not yet?
Oh, okay, let's go open Stadia and create a Sorcerer in Patch 6...what? The patch isn't available on Stadia yet either?
The patch looks great guys, and thank you very much for all the hard work bringing these improvement to your players on PC, and eventually to the rest of us, but why the delay in deploying to Mac and Stadia?

I had missed the very end of the Panel from Hell earlier today, but just watched that part, and at the very end Sven does mention that they are having some technical issues with the Stadia version, which is why Patch 6 hasn't been released there yet.

Well, now a few things here with the new patch. I thought this was supposed to be a 60GB update if I read an early post correctly from Larian. 2nd What happened to our "Panel From Hell"? Guess we aren't getting one this time?
Now after reading through all of the patch notes we did get the Equippable Salami for meatier combat like they said we would get. Still think it would have been better to find that out on our own. No Level 5 increase or Paladin which we already knew we were getting the Sorcer instead. But we did get a new area which will make this worth another playthrough maybe a couple of them. As I'm looking forward to checking out the new area, to be honest with you there. After all, I'm really curious to find out what new weapons and armor this forge adds to the game as well as or quests. Hopefully, it's better than the Drow sword which didn't impress me at all.

I can't find a link for this Panel from Hell. I missed it, too. Perhaps they linked to it from some platform I'm not on, or something. (Twitter? I'm not on Twitter.)
I read through the patch notes, though, and this patch looks great. Can't wait to play.

Hey, on a related note, have you tried using mods on your Steam/Mac version? I also originally bought it on Stadia and have been disappointed to find I can't use any mods with it, so I've thought about getting it from Steam but don't know if that will help since I also play on a Mac. I'm definitely feeling you on not getting the same quality product as our PC friends  .

The Panel from Hell was live streamed on Twitch (and streamed to YouTube by some video game streamers there at the same time). Larian will like post it to YouTube as they have the past Panels at some point.

I guess it's not coming to stadia today. Please don't forget that the game costs the same on stadia as it does on Steam and GOG. It would really be great if the patches were released at the same time as well. I guess I'll keep waiting until I hear that it has been posted to stadia. Threy litteraly said on stream that there are some technical problems wich stadia ... I doubt they hold it just bcs they wanted to. -_-
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!

I was basically forcing myself to start a new playthrough and giving it a try, but merely one hour into it I have to admit that without a raised level cap to 5 I'm not really feeling ANY drive to replay the EA once again.
Not even with the lure of the new area waiting me at the end of the previously available content. And the sorcerer being the new playable class doesn't really help either, as (especially at this level) there's very little making it feel any different from a wizard.
To be clear, this is not meant to be a complaint, just a factual statement about how I'm feeling at the moment.

I'm a bit burnt out of the game atm, but I'll give the new patch a try. I didn't upload patch 5, because there just wasn't enough new stuff for me. I do like sorcerers though and want to see the new area.
But I agree that it would be nice to see level 5 soon.
And I want gnomes as playable race - I mean, they are probably coming sooner or later, but I rather want sooner.

Lame question, but in order to play Mac M1 native version (ARM) should I buy Baldurs Gate on Steam or GOG also have m1 version? Which store is better to buy the game btw? I'm leaning more towards GOG since I don't like an idea of starting Steam everytime I want to play BG3 (takes a while to load).

It's a big game... @Tuco: How did you like the new/updated graphics in the game? I just noticed that the patch version number is slightly higher on GOG compared the the number shown during the stream yesterday. I haven't verified but I'm sure it's the same for the Steam version. So maybe we got some last-minute fixed in there as well. I guess we can expect some hotfixes for the remainder of the year but no major update. Last but not least, for anyone interested in watching the stream again (since I can't find it on the Larian YouTube channel at this point), here you go: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1176513715?t=0h59m58s

Did you opt out of updates at some point to stay on patch 5 maybe? It's an option as savegames from previous patches are not compatible with patch 6. Just a thought...

@Tuco: How did you like the new/updated graphics in the game? So far I'm fairly neutral toward it. It's nothing particularly striking, more like a whole lot of tweaks here and there. It also comes with a noticeable (but in my case not crippling) impact on the performances, since framerate seems to be lower compared to the previous patch. Oh, and FSR looks like complete ass. It's blurry as hell and I disabled it in a matter of minutes.

The GOG installation file shows version 3_4.1.1.1302024 I don't know if they caught a last-minute issue. Still, it would be strange because the sorcerer was clearly present in their stream yesterday.

I haven't installed the latest version yet but I plan on a fresh install either way (always do for each new major release). I just checked on Twitch and see several streams with sorcerers in it with the version number you posted so you should be fine (but clearly something isn't in your install). Maybe a clean install can help? Anyone else with this issue?

I must say i have lot of fun with Wild Magic sorcerer ... so far i hardly managed to trigger any purely negative effect.  But the best part of it, is that when some effect happens, your character casts it properly ... including verbal components. Just few minutes ago my Sorcerer yelled "fog" when Wild Magic was triggered ... But i certainly thinked at first she said much less polite word starting with F.

I didn't see it in the release notes, but when you look at your XP now, it displays the remaining points needed for next level again.
Good thing. I found it very annoying to see only spaces for this value.

Baldur’s Gate 3 - Patch 6 notes

[*] Cloud of Daggers: This spell protects the caster, surrounding them in a cloud of flying daggers. I think this may be a bit inaccurate. The spell is more like Moonbeam, but you can't move it. If you cast it on yourself I am pretty sure it will kill you. ;D

My main takeaways:
New area and class; yay.
No level 5 or Pact of the Blade; boo.
Guess I'll hold out for whenever Solasta has its update with Barbarian and Druid and maybe I'll finally beat Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous in the meantime.
Don't you just hate it when people with dumb opinions have nice avatars?

We obviously aren't who they are making the game for. It's too bad because the game costs the same on every platform. Maybe every platform should be treated equally.

As for the Mac version, this usually comes a few days later. I'd personally love a Linux version (there's an afterthought for ya)  And yes, I know they haven't announced it for Linux at all...

Yeah, I know it's a technical issue. I just wish we could get a ballpark time frame. I imagine someone somewhere might know if it's possible that the issue could be resolved today or if it will probably take until Monday. Or even later? It would be really nice if that information could be shared.

Nobody will give you estimated time, bcs then people would be swearing on Larian that they didnt keep their promise ... even if there was specificly written "we hope so, this isnt a promise and it will be only if everything will go well" ... with huge, bold, underlined, red and sparkling font. Its good that you understand that its technical dificiulties ... Yet understand also that there is a lot (and i mean really lot, like thousands, maybe even ten-thousands) people who are not as bright, or understanding (strike out what does not apply) as you are and will blame larian for doing this on some purpose, bcs they "dont threat all platforms the same" for some unknown reason. -_- All you can do is hope ... And believe that they would never ever willingly sabotage their own project, so they will certainly do whatever they can to fix this as soon as possible.

I rather think the Stadia issue happened unforeseen/last-minute when the panel was already announced and things were put into motion. If true, what should they have done? Withhold the patch on all platforms to make it "fair" for everyone?

Can you imagine the outrage if Stadia got the patch a day before Steam? People would lose their minds. People imagine all sorts of nutty things these days, don't they?...;)
I'm never wrong about anything, and so if you see an error in any of my posts you will know immediately that I did not write it...;)

Ok. Love devil pigdogs.
I will say, though, lighting in some scenes is weird, like with Lae'zel first meet. I'm gonna try playing with graphics settings maybe, but it did look off to me.
However, 99.9% scenery looks better, and dragon looks better and demons and imps and nautiloid, and I like the sorcerer's outfit.

So I really like this patch, and as some people said, the graphic changes are phenomenal. But, of course, little issues exist. Why Astarion still has to "inflict 2d4 damage" and "heal 2d4" damage with his bite rather than simply heal for the exact amount of damage inflicted? This was meant to be fixed in March?

Are you sure the requirements for the Lae'zel romance went down, not up? I have her on high approval but she still turns me down while it worked with medium before.

Do we know if/when the under construction romance scenes will be finished? I haven’t played in awhile. It’s weird that some have been finished but some left undone for so long. Thanks!

Seconded: Inquiring minds want to know, so that they can do in depth analyses of their design, tone and choreography, *cough* and comment regarding considerations needed for taking into account small-sized characters, who are sadly often forgotten about in these situations.

The launcher no longer works for me. I just get a dark grey screen with a Baldur's Gate 3, Divinity OS2, Divinity OS, and Larian.com icons on the left. And yes I clicked on the BG3 icon. Tried to open the game using the .exe in the program files, just brings me back to the gray screen non-launcher. I can't even send a bug report.
I tried launching before Patch 6, it worked fine, but now ... I finally get a few days off, finally interested in playing again, this sucks.

Nope. And there was a big update installed today, which I assume was patch 6 (it took over an hour to download). So I assume you don't see the sorcerer class in the character creator? What's the game version number shown in the game now after the download you mentioned? 4.1.1.1301812 So, the same as it says here on the patch. I can't figure out what's wrong. The GOG installation file shows version 3_4.1.1.1302024 I don't know if they caught a last-minute issue. Still, it would be strange because the sorcerer was clearly present in their stream yesterday. The Sorcerer class is there on mine it's in the 2nd row 3rd one right underneath the fighter. I just checked in my game. For those that are playing a Sorcerer is he/she on in their underclothes? You see all the others are in some type of armor or robes except the sorcerer which the female shows in her panties and bra and he is in his underwear. Als are we going to eventually be able to change things for Astarion, Wyll, Shadowheart, Etc? I noticed that they were in the list under the "Origin" tab as well.

Oh this is very disappointing. Just got back from being out of town, reading all of these updates, figured I was in the clear to download and get to it when…
It’s not available on steam for mac yet.
This is the first time the patch didn’t drop across all platforms and that’s a huge bummer. I’m sure it will be out ‘Soon’.

It's so hard waiting for the Stadia update. I'm trying to avoid watching or reading anything about Grymforge because I want to play it first, but everyone's talking about it, and I want to be a part of it. I know I'm being overly dramatic, but it does hurt. I put aside plans this weekend to play the game. I'm sure Larian is working on it; I'm just looking forward to playing the patch, that's all.

Feels like they may be thinking it can wait until Monday.
It is not like this is the first time it has happened.

When will you update the Stadia version? I know 'soon'. But you had to know that answer wouldn't work for long! When should we expect realistically?

For being notoriously a laughing stock among the major gaming platforms, Stadia surely has its fair share of support around here.

The thing is, the Mac version also hasn't been released, so it's not just Stadia. Larian decided to prioritize the PC Steam/GOG version of their game, and worry about updating the other versions later. If it was Stadia's fault, Mac would be released already as well.

Another one with the Stadia version.
I asked in twitter to both Google and Larian and only Google responded, saying that they also hope that is launched ASAP.
I hope it’s this week…

Maybe Larian holding the Mac version until after the Apple event announcing the M1Pro & M1Max chips?

[/quote] Apple just said many developers received early access to these chips, so perhaps Larian was among them. Not pointless if Larian are ensuring the Mac version is optimized for these new chips.

Ok, folks got a couple of issues with Patch 6 and were wondering if anybody else has come across it or if there is a way to fix any of them.
1. My main female Ranger knight's max carry weight is 160 pounds she is only carrying 105 lbs and it says that she is "Encumbered" Didn't remember this ever happening before Patch 6 unless I was close to or over my max carry weight.
2. A lot of interior areas are all but black and you can hardly see anything. Even though Caina<Ranger Party leader> and Shadowheart both have dark vision. I don't remember areas like the Crypt where you get the "Speak with dead Amulet" or the Toll House basement being so dark and if these two areas are that dark I can only imagine how dark the Underdark is now.
As far as the Darkness goes you would think that with Lae'zel Carrying the Everburn blade that it would shed light as well.
Anyone else having<had> these issues? and if so how did you correct them or have you?

1. There are soft caps since patch 4 or 5(not sure now) they should be shown by white, yellow and red parts of carry weight bar ... also if you place your mouse over them, tooltip should appear tellimg you how much you can carry without penalisation.
I believe Larian come to corect conclusion when they decided that someone who carry his own weight in backpack wont be so effective. 😄
2. There seems to be a problem with visual side of darkvision in this patch
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!

The new carry weight system was introduced in Patch 5. It's a more lenient version of the 5E Variant Encumbrance rule. Basically in LBS its STR x 12 = your carry weight unencumbered. Anything beyond that you start to become encumbered, and then you have an absolute max carry weight that is STR x 20. In Kilograms it is STR x 6 and STR x 10. 2. A lot of interior areas are all but black and you can hardly see anything. Even though Caina<Ranger Party leader> and Shadowheart both have dark vision.

Anyone else having<had> these issues? and if so how did you correct them or have you? Video Settings Gamma Correction slider should allow you to see better. However, turning on light sources is also super helpful. The Underdark is now properly dark like it should be.

I've not really complained about this game, and I've always been patient with the model of early access and knew what I was getting into.
Including all the times the patch would be announced and delayed. That's fine.
But IMO they should have waited until all versions (pc, Mac, stadia) were ready to launch before they launched patch 6.
I don't really understand why they rushed the PC one but delayed the others.
It's pretty whack...
Especially when patch 5 was delayed like a week or so if I remember, but was released across the board, just like all the other patches.

As a Stadia player this delay is twice as annoying.
We cannot keep using an old version of the game we just have to wait for the game to be ported from Steam to Stadia.

Was patch 5 pulled entirely and the game isn't playable at all there right now? There's a good chance that we'll see a hotfix release sometime this week which will hopefully remedy the Stadia situation as well.

It's frustrating trying to avoid spoilers while so many people are putting up videos about Grymforge. I feel like this delay separates me from the community when I'd love nothing more than to be talking about the new patch.

On Stadia you cannot keep using an old patch so when the update happens you have to start again.

It's probably an unpopular opinion, but I agree they should not have released a patch for one group of players and made another wait a week without knowing when they'll even get it. The content has already been spoiled for me, it totally sucks all the excitement of exploring something new with a community when most people have already done all the exploring days ago.

I think they mean that there is no point playing the game now when Stadia players could lose access to their saves at any given moment, since they can't elect to keep playing a prior patch.

However, turning on light sources is also super helpful. The Underdark is now properly dark like it should be. Thanks for the lighting fixes it sure helped out and it is appreciated. Now as for the weight it seems Larian is using the STR x 6 and STR x 10 in the US where we very seldom use the metric system and so 16 x 6 would only be 96 lbs and then she's Encumbered. Just her armor and weapons and such already take up damn near half of that there leaving you not much left over for excess. Maybe Lariun should not include your equipped items in with your carry weight especially if they are only going to give you a max carry weight of 160 lbs. Most things I don't even carry I send them to camp until I decide to sell them. The bad thing about that there is You have to gather that for which you want to sell and take a long rest before you can go out to wherever and sell the stuff.

Now I'll ask this once again since no one commented about it when I had asked earlier. In the Character creation menu, they have listed Shadowheart, Wyll, etc listed there. Is Larian going to allow us to make changes to things like their Starting spells, subclass, domain, etc before we go into the game and the changes will be in game-like if we created them ourselves? If this is true I can make Shadowheart a life cleric and fix Wyll's stats. Now if only there was a healing cantrip.<G>
curious as the whether or not anyone knows the answer there are two slots for which I'm curious.
The first is on the left side Between the gauntlets and the boots it looks like for a belt. Which so far I've not found any type of belts in the game. Is Laurian going to add the Giant strength belts into the game? these would be the only belts I can remember there being. Of course, it's been years since I played DND PNP.
The other is on the Right side top of above the Amulet does anyone know what is to go into that spot there? I've tried various things and so far everything gets rejected.
Thanks again for whatever info you can provide.

So about companions ... so far nobody knows.
But honestly i doubt it.
Dunno if there is any other belt ...
But yes that slot is made for belts ... so i gues Larian will eventualy create some of their own.
And the last slot is for capes ...
And personaly i hope it will be hideable just as helmets bcs personaly i hate capes. -_-
And yes none belts or capes are in EA as far as i know.

And yes none belts or capes are in EA as far as i know. Well, now thanks for the reply I appreciate it. I will have to admit now I know why I quit playing the game before. It was because the game takes as much as 3 minutes or more to reload. Which I've never played a PC game that takes so long to re-load. I figured that they would have finally fixed that aspect of the game. Another thing I don't like is the fact that when a battle starts you can't have other party members join the battle which I think is BS. I'm currently in the battle in the cave for that chest that has the beholder in it. Wyll used misty step to grab the high ground where the ladder is. It started the battle and locked the other party members out of the battle and I can't move them into battle or anything. Also if all the guys with that Shipment die how can I return it or can I?

You can drag it to Zentarims and give it to them ... but you cant open it.

Oh this ... Well you can sneak past the guard and find spare key down bellow ... or pickpocket it ofc.
There is also hole in the roof so you can get around him completely if your sneaking is low ...
Or ypu can get the password via Speak with Dead. 😉

The Astarion scene when he tries to bite you in camp in Update 6 is not properly working. You can hear what they say but there is no cinematic. Same thing with the cinematic for Netty and the poisoned branch.
I've done 3 complete playthrough with new toons just to see but it's just not there.
Furthermore, in the Druid Grove, the girl who is speaking to the bird by the entrance to speak with Khaga thinks you're a Druid. She literally says: "A druid and an outsider".
I'm not pointing these things out to criticize, just so that you're aware. Bugs and glitches included this game AND all Larian Studios has accomplished 10/10.
Thank you for your time and patience Larian! 🤓😁

We're no longer in "it's early access", "you signed up for this", etc territory. Yes, we all signed up for a buggy and incomplete game, however we also all paid $60 for the ability to help test this game. Everyone left is perfectly fine dealing with and submitting bug reports and helping Larian make the best game possible.
But this is now almost a week with no communication about when to realistically expect a release to stadia and mac versions which you were happy to take our money for. "Soon" is insulting, and at this point, lying. Please provide an update on when we can expect to be able to play the already buggy and incomplete game we paid for on Stadia and Mac, or at least provide some more respectful communication about what's going on and why a significant portion of your player base can't play, while a different portion is able.
Additionally, I hope this is a lesson that these types of releases are not acceptable in the future, and that you should not release a game, especially one with content updates, to only a portion of your player base with a week lag time in between. Obviously a few hours or up to a day is fine.

Patch 6 sounds fun. Of course, I really have no idea because I still can't play it. Stadia and Mac are still waiting. I love the game and I just want to play the new material.

WTF?! For 3 days I've been playing the game this time through and had gotten a good distance through the game. I laid down to get some sleep and when I woke up and went to play the game all my saves were gone! it's like I hadn't even played at all. I had everyone up to 3rd level and had 3k in gold.

Communication is key and we have none right now. How long before someone tells us what is really happening here? I am worried for the future of the game on those platforms. Will we always get everything late? Because if so, maybe you should advertise it as such.

So ... i finaly get to the end and i was really exited to see that this location leads straight to Moonrise Towers ... I was looking forward for some teaser as we had with that gate to Grymforge. Sadly there is none ... or at least none was showing to me. Also the scene where our Tav summarizes what happened so far is gone ... and i must ask why? It was great.

Well, Google might very well pull plug on Stadia before BG3 is released, so I would certainly be worried for the Stadia version, but not really because of anything related to Larian. I wouldn't be worried for the Mac versions, they're probably just PITA (or at least additional work - Apple's very special™ proprietary APIs and also their new CPUs/GPUs being relatively new) to implement.

Communication is key and we have none right now. How long before someone tells us what is really happening here? I am worried for the future of the game on those platforms. Will we always get everything late? Because if so, maybe you should advertise it as such. Yes indeed, and I agree that only saying 'soon' in one week is not how you do it. How hard can it be to post a daily update saying something like: 'hey still working on it, no eta, or sorry no real eta but don't expect it this week'. The only conclusion for me is that either, there is no one at Larian whose job function includes communication on social media, PR and with the community , or that they are grossly incompetent, or that they are simply on leave. In either case, it comes across as utterly offensive, it takes literally less than a minute to send out a tweet or forum post. Definitely leaving the "clunky and edgy meme-lord" style of communication and moving into simply 'not nice' territory ... I understand EA, i bought the game, I can also understand delays and whatever, but I don't think that an honest and direct communication is asked too much, ... Moreover, this goes beyond the stadia/mac patch delay too. How hard can it be to also finally answer some of the issues on these forum ? Silence is really hard to interpret you know.... so if an issue (e.g. Day night cycle) wont be addressed, simply tell us please, most of us are adults (or can behave like adults) so that we can move on and focus our attempts at making the game better on other issues. Kinda disappointing, really....

Unnecesary harsh, but honest answer: Aproximately same hard as resisting to post "patch 6 on mac and stadia when" every day ... I wonder if anyone can manage that.
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!

Except I am not an employee of a company who is supposed to handle communication... Aka, I am not getting payed to write about BG3, while I suspect Larian has or at least should have someone on their payroll who should be in charge of this... In case Larian would need someone for this, consider this an open application, I can def. double Larian's external customer oriented communication relative to the current output. For a permanent contract, 38hrs workweek, and decent (Belgian) salary I promise Larian that I would be able to send out minimally two tweets a week and answer 1 question a day on either forums, reddit, discord, or steam. Take it or leave it, ...

Hey all - just letting you know that I'm reading your comments and taking them on board. Stadia and Mac are still being worked on - no news to share yet, waiting for solid info on the Patch's release before sharing more.

Like the original mac specs required to play the game will stay the same right? It would suck to have bought the game a year ago, but with massive graphical changes over the course of a few years for official release then being too much for the system?

Any chance we get Expertise for Rogues and Sneak Attack as a toggle to let us proc it offhand if we miss mainhand (1 per turn, of course)? It seems like a pretty big nerf to have Rogues as yhey are ingame.
Don't you just hate it when people with dumb opinions have nice avatars?

It seems like a pretty big nerf to have Rogues as yhey are ingame. +1. Totally agree. And now off hand's a pain. You can't just click on the enemy to attack a second time. You have to click the offhand button first. And I hate how, by default, it has it toggled to just attack both with main and offhand. So many bonus actions wasted because rogue kills with main hand but follows up right away with offhand unless you remember to toggle to single. Just get rid of that toggle and allow the player to click the enemy again if they want to attack with offhand. And provide toggling for Sneak Attack with either main or offhand, and make it automatically applied only if they hit based on the toggle. I can't tell you how many times I've forgotten to hit the Sneak Attack button before attacking. Plus, making it automatic would cut down on the need for 2 buttons on the hotbar. Solasta does this. Why doesn't BG3? Solasta just has rogue auto Sneak Attack when conditions align. And if Action allowance calls for more than one attack with main hand, first 2 attacks are main and 3rd is offhand. Simple. You control each strike. No extra button presses.

So ... i finaly get to the end and i was really exited to see that this location leads straight to Moonrise Towers ... I was looking forward for some teaser as we had with that gate to Grymforge. Sadly there is none ... or at least none was showing to me. Also the scene where our Tav summarizes what happened so far is gone ... and i must ask why? It was great. Grymforge was always in the previous EA releases, but in an unfinished state. You could get to Grymforge to explore ( doing so was really unintuitive ) but most of the story elements were missing. I think Larian originally intended Grymforge to be available when EA started, but it didn't make the cut; so they included an end-of-line cut-scene to prevent you getting to Grymforge, using assets already in the EA. I'm sure this was considered the most ikely route most players would choose to take (Good/Halsin/Underdark). As far as I know, Moonrise Towers, the Githyanki Creche and other Risen Road locations mentioned in the EA are not currently available in EA assets, so when you try to leave the EA anywhere else, you just get the world map.

It shouldn't do, but you might not be able to benefit from certain updates that are computationally expensive. Other changes are likely just new algorithms that produce a more pleasing outcome at the same computational cost, so everyone can benefit.

Those are all good points ... Yet i feel a little disapointed still, since i hoped for a little teaser and i didnt get it. :P I mean i didnt want much, in previous patches all we got was sight on that huge gate ... so just some ascending in the elevator, shocked expression in our party faces, then quick turn of camera to shadowcursed lands ... and CUT ... that would be awesome. :3 But we got what we got ... i get that ofcourse.

Loaded up steam and some time in the last 24 hours a 12 mb patch has occurred, yet no info as to what was included in it? I've my fingers crossed it's level 5+ edit - It wasn't

Yes, I agree, it would have been fun to add something other than the overland map to mark progress through the EA process. I guess Larian consider the Panel from Hell episodes to be providing that sense of EA progress, but I find them to be variable in their usefulness. I did like Patch 6 overall; visually improved (although darkvision doesn't seem right at the moment ), nice additional content details to find, and combat seems to take less time, so it feels less annoying. I'd still like to get the Vulkan version working under Linux, as there were a number of instances with the DX11 version where the cinematics only played the audio, which did not occur in previous patches. Progress, at least.

Pretty sure one of the moons on the Defiled Temple puzzle is the wrong way around now. Still succeeds when it's the right location though. was wrecking my brain to see it's not the same orientation pieces as on other screenshots.

Patch 6 is awesome- I’m 218 hours into early access and was struggling to complete another play through so stayed away for a while - 3-4 attempts never really got further than the goblin camp.
Patch six arrived and I’ve finished the whole thing and the new area which is great. Just started another run immediately using a dwarven cleric and addded in Wyll - I’ve never played a warlock ever …
Loving the game again - combat changes are great 👍🏼- graphics are fantastic - I just got 32 inch 1440p monitor - wow it looks superb.
Can’t wait for next patch even if it is 4+ months away.
If this continues we are in for one hell of a final product - I’m picking 12 months away still at least but I’m happy to wait.

Can we please have some sort of update on stadia at this point? This is really not an acceptable level of service for a product we paid the same price as everyone else for. At this point they are getting a much higher level of service than stadia users for the same price. It’s a little fraudulent, honestly, and has severely impacted my otherwise untarnished opinion of this process. I expect bugs and playability issues in early access, not differences in availability with zero explanation or update between platforms for greater than two weeks.

As for the "zero explanation" part: You did read the "Hotfix #16" posting from last Thursday where they specifically address this issue, right? You may not like what you read there but they do offer an explanation.

But an update would be nice. Again, not asking for an exact time or even day... But "late next week" or some kind of rough guess would be really nice. It isn't like we have a new type of processer or something...

We can certainly 'expect' all we want, question is when will it be ready and how will Larian re-assure us this scenario will be avoided or handled better next time a similar problem arises. Sorry, getting a bit cynical here after being spoiled on almost every aspect of the new patch in the two weeks I've been f5-ing this forum, twitter, reddit, and even steamdb in vain...

Two weeks. Stadia is still waiting. Two weeks. I know that people who are up-to-date with the patch are sick of hearing about stadia. Those of us playing on stadia are sick of waiting.

I will be applying for my refund if it does not drop by this time next week alongside an assurance that this will not be the operating model going forward for EA. I'll happily wait until release, but I'm not going to allow Larian to take my $60 and then let me play whenever they feel like it.
I feel the missing piece here is that we cannot have backward compatibility on stadia, so I literally have no reason to play right now since my save could just up and disappear at any time. This radio silence is getting very old.

Patch 6 + hotfixes should be live on Stadia now. Patch 6, complete with hotfixes, is live on Stadia! Thank you for your patience, but now it's time to explore Grymforge, and the new Sorcerer class!

They've been putting out a new platform version and hotfix for patch 6 every week. If they follow that pattern, M1 will be available Thursday 4/11/2021.

[*] Fixed bug where Mol wouldn't return stolen belongings.. Sorry but there are definitely some situations where this isn't fixed. While I have completed this quest (by playing a small main character and going through the crack in the wall) there are other times where it simply bugs out. (playing normally and saving the two kids, I get inside to have Mol thank me but no mention of the stolen belongings.)

iirc the belongings are in the loot-pile in the corner, so you can take them back regardless?

Regardless, the quest is bugged as it can't be progressed/completed in some situations. Additionally I have gone directly to Mol with a halfling character through the entrance the kids use without ever completing either of the other two quests and she hands the belongings back and dialog acts like we've actually done favors for them. Unsure if this is intentional or not but it was certainly odd.
