So, I love the improvements with Patch 6 for Baldur's Gate 3. I love the game even more now than ever before.
I am doing a new playthrough by letting Shadowheart die, and the artefact is coming to me. However, I noticed Shadowheart did not die on the Nautiloid as I found her alive (knocked out) on the beach. I don't know if that is a glitch or a bug, and I saw nothing in the forum. I went through the patch notes and saw nothing about it.
I continue to have fun playing the game.
