Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Hopes for the next patch/hotfix?

Personally, I hope we finally get the official modding tools. I love the game and I love Larian, but there are some things I'd do to rebalance the game, like bringing back the original versions of Humans and Half-Elves.

Also, a way to be notified for camp cutscenes would be nice.

Bug fixes are an obvious hope, or at least I'd hope that'd be obvious.

There's already a mod for that. It's called Camp Event Notifications.

That it exists.

Eventually, they have to stop releasing patches. I'm not sure when that will happen or if it will be communicated when it does happen. Is it possible that patch 3 was the last? I don't know. I surely hope not as there's a lot more I'd like to see done to the game.

It exists. Or, it's getting there.

Err no.

It may be the last for a while.

But in the end I expect them to make a definitive edition and thats clearly not patch 3 just yet.

On this topic, Patch 4 is Now live

I continue to go through your threads on these forums (along with other platforms) and pass on any feedback, requests, and opinions to the team, who continues to work on further fixes and features
(For reporting issues, while I will pass on issues reported on the forums, I always recommend contacting our Support Team directly with all the info)

Lol, really.

I can think of no end of things to improve the current state of this game.

FSR2 pls?

lol, I can't decide if my post aged well or not. Either way, I'm happy there's a patch!

Transmog and Newgame+ are all I want.
Patch#4 was huge for fixes (and a massive amount of work, thank you devs) but generally underwhelming (imo)

Things that will push this game into my favorite of all time that I earnestly hope they implement:

1. Act 3 overhaul:
• more companions reactions.
• less abrupt endings to companion storylines.
• more romantic moments especially after your romances companion quest has been finished.
• more side missions that directly affect your companions.
• less fetch quests or innocuous quests that don't affect the story whatsoever.
• improved battle encounters with old/new foes (meaning add some spice to them and make them all unique, make it feel like we're fighting a formidable foe.
• improved performance in general. Some fixes have already improved on this but my game still loves to drop frames when entering Lower City.
• more complete endings to companion storylines. Astarion's quest was great but Shadowheart's was half-baked and Gale's went absolutely nowhere.

2. Expanded/Fleshed Out Endings (spoilers):

These are not all of the things I hope they improve on but, if they do these things, this could be the best game I've ever played. I love it already, but these keep the game from being truly great.

Here is what I would like for future patches:

• Halsin fixes and updates:
  • Barks fixed or added (not sure if it is a bug that they are missing)
  • Option for him to be a main romance (now it feels like he is a secondary romance even if Tav doesn’t have any other romances)
  • Option to have him as a party member in Act 1 after the party
  • Act 3 quest, such as saving the tree
  • Cute camp scene with him, Scratch, and owlbear cub
• Transmog
• Option for dialogue that starts automatically to go to pc only (not companions)

After the patch is before the patch!

A lot of the stuff being asked for are expanding the game, I would like to see a few things put back in that existed in EA and modders have shown still exist in the game code.

PHB Racial Modifiers: I would love to have an options to use the basic DnD Racial modifers and not the "simplified" options offered by Larian. Please also include the Human Variant as well.

Paladins Choose Deity: The argument people use against this is the base rule book which is meant to be more open optioned. However by Forgotten Realms lore, most Paladin's had a Patreon Deity. I am not saying to force the option on the players, I am saying let us choose one if we wish. The hooks for some of this in conversations still exists in game.

Now two other items for creation I would like to see added.

Allow for Stat Rolling: Please give us the option to roll for stats or use the existing method.

Create Custom party at Start: Would love to see an option where the player can choose at start to have an all custom party for solo play.

We know from the modding community that a lot of the first two requests already exists in game, should not be all that complicated to turn them back on. As for the second two since they are really only used at character creation I would not think they would be all that complex to add as they do not have any impact on the later game play feature wise.

Finally of course we want to see the official modding tools and would love to see a campaign editor for custom campaigns.

1. Transmog:
2. NewGame+
3. Paladins Choosing Deity I think is a fantastic idea.
4. Revert the character builder changes made in Patch#4 for Playstation.

hope for next patch,

would be great to have the ability to get more than 12 level, could be an option that can be toggle on and off in the menu, that would be amazing for multiclassing or even main class,

having a full custom party members,

would be awesome to add enchanting/crafting system on weapons, shield, armors,

larian do already great job fixing bugs and updates, thank you larian

Performance improvement.
