Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Latest News Community Update #28 Closed Beta

A friend of mine looked into it with the script extender and apparently the flags are a bit odd. I hope it gets fixed because apart from Lae'zel's (my bro, my besti, my confidant) encouragement, Astarion's little speech about personal will opposed to that of the gods is a highlight.


I hope I don't try our dear mod's patience by adding that I don't want an epilogue kiss for Spawn Astarion. I really like that he has a hug instead. It's both a throw-back to his act 2 scene and evolution of it. Where the act 2 hug was stiff, the epilogue hug is one of two people being extremely comfortable with each other.

Totally support. Minthara is a great companion, after I got her in my new playthrough she deservedly became a constant companion. Would really like more content for her.

Since everyone can make suggestions and ask questions, I'd like to make a suggestion to simply add the Ascended Astarion kiss from patch 5 to the epilogue. The animation is already there, meaning no extra cost is needed for this. Like Shadowheart with the hug, there is a separate line for that and she can be hugged as many times as the player wants. You can do the same with Astarion's kiss. The hug animation for Astarion is in Act 2 - it's a great hug, you just need to trim the beginning a bit where he's surprised and doesn't immediately accept the hug. This is an option that can be done with minimal work. And the wonderful kiss animation already made earlier will be used in the game, not wasted.

I am curious as well.

The special Mage Hand for Arcane Trickster is supposed to be able to pick locks and pockets and both doesn't work.

So exciting

Will yet a reasonable method be implemented to create a custom party from scratch without having to open multiple game instances... THAT would be a really nice “KISS”...! It's still cumbersome...

It's good that we will be finally able to hear the romance party banter, but though it's mostly good, some of ot is really upsetting. I mean the one in Act 3 where Gale is talking to Astarion and telling how great it was to be with Mystra... AFTER the boat scene. Hate that one. He must be over her by that moment, dammit. And telling things like that right in front of Tav? That would make everything he was teeling before just a lie. Not only it spoils the whole romance but also it ruins the character arc. Dear Larian, please, if you are that determined to hurt all the Gale romance fans and won't remove this banter, PLEASE at least move it to act 1.

Some of the romance banter in general is a bit cringe - I wouldn't mind if it stayed enternally bugged.

So...what about the CROSS PLATFORM MULTIPLAYER? WE like all the new content and all but we've been promised to be able to play with friends since the beginning. We understand it's on the "road map" but can you at Larion Studio stop checking out "The World's Largest Ball of Twine" and hit up a promised Stop? After all Games are made to play with Friends.

a network tunnel solves most issues but yes ... only testing one platform makes this a bit of a joke beta

The team continues to work to bring crossplay to Baldur's Gate 3 and that should be coming a bit further down the road, but not on Patch 7. Once we have a specific date we'll make sure to let everyone know!

I've personally submitted multiple bug reports about how arcane trickster doesn't function as intended and finesse daggers aren't properly using dexterity when thrown and these are two significant bugs that have plagued the game since it left Early Access. Any chance we might finally hear something about these in the coming weeks?

+1k

Yes indeed, I finally wanna see my ATs throwin daggers (using dex) kissing some bloody gobbo hearts! Larian, how about that kind of (proper combat mechanic / proper AT class implementation) "kissing animation" for a change?!

Shadowheart no longer changes into a mystery leather outfit during the ship crash onto the starting beach i.e, if you put another armour on her before the crash then that will be what she hits the beach with

Hi folks, given the closed beta is over and patch 7 is released, I'd suggest posting in one of the patch 7 threads or creating new ones from now on!
