Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General What are you hoping to see in Patch 6?

The majority of my hundreds of hours of playtime is just messing around with cosmetics and constantly restarting, rather than actually playing the game. The farthest I've ever gotten was mid-Act 2, but I've honestly not had motivation to keep playing after everything I've read about Act 3. The companions already feel like they're hardly there in Act 1, and outside of their story conclusions, it's a dearth of content in Act 3. Romances don't exist outside their vacuum. There is precious little player agency in general and virtually none in romances. Gortash gets killed off for no reason, instead of having an interesting, middle-of-the-road ending where the Netherbrain dies and Baldur's Gate is still ruled by him (honorable mention to Larian's bi-erasure with rewriting some of Gortash's letters). I dislike everything about the Emperor. The story suffers from tonal whiplash, as if half the writing team were mature adults while the other half were immature teenagers (just the vibe, not name-calling). The main story itself seems extremely weak compared to the original scrapped storyline that was datamined; seemed like it had proper layers and depth. Larian disrespects the lore too much. Etc. I'd mention poor prioritization of resources, but that isn't something that can be retroactively fixed with patches.
