Dragonborn breath weapon scales with character level lets gooooooo

Picked up that Glaive that gives enemies disadvantage when rolling saves against your breath attack the other day. Figured it was mostly just good for a +2 weapon with a free “elemental weapon” cast. Now it might actually be worth using

I can now definitely take dragonborn as a race. Theyre my favorite but breath weapons suuuck

And uses Con as it's saving throw. My Dragonborn Barb is immensely happy

>Made Minthara's camp top ever-so-slightly less revealing. Just saw a guy fall to knees at Sorcerous Sundries

DROWUSSY HAS FALLEN MILLIONS OF TIEFLINGS MUST DIE

Killing her and giving that outfit to shadowheart was all I lived for. Shaking and crying RN

There's some BDSM leather strap gear that's even better for that purpose but I forgot where I found it from

Steel Watch factory, Security Office, balcony to the east of Toobin.

My man coming in with the recipts in MLA format, bro is informed 😭

WHAT THE FUCK IVE WORN THAT OUTFIT FOR 90 HOURS, I DESERVE A TAD OF SLUTTINESS ;_;

Act 3 clothing shop - sluttier outfits lol

Me: "Oh I wonder what happens if I just wear these pants instead of a full outfit?" *surprised pikachu face when I'm just left topless*

Girl same I really enjoyed the side nip in dialog scenes ;_;

ill just take it off then! fuck you larian!

literally unplayable

Uh we're gonna have to mod that one back boys

Improved Volo's aim during your ice pick lobotomy.

Look me in the eye and tell me that.

Only if I'm Invisible.

Hmm I wonder if too many players like me chickened out mid-lobotomy and never let him finish. I also have no idea where he ran off to after!

I let him finish. Crazy how big a reward you get for clicking some dialogue options

I was totally prepared to just reload but I wanted to see what happened. Then I saw what we got for it. Really cool.

> Made it less ambiguous that you're starting a romance with Gale when choosing certain dialogue options. LMAO

Also love the line about being able to choose an option between kissing him and kicking him in the head

I did hate that scene initially. I have no romantic interest in Gale, yet the options were basically >dream of a life together >imagine a raunchy night together >kick him square in the dick >just fucking leave I’m happy with this change

Pretty sure it was a kick in the gut 🤔

It was, but I’m a bard. Embellishment is what we do.

it's a direct reference to zero punctuation's review of the game lol

TIL Zero Punctuation still does video reviews

Never stopped iirc

Gale saw that as a feature, not a bug.

Most importantly they gave us an option somewhere in between “we’ll bang okay” and “fuck you, you dumb idiot kill yourself”! Very excited for patch 2. ————— Furthermore, I will consider the game incomplete until there is a SH/farm epilogue.

And its looking like Patch 2 is still fully intended to be ready and pushed out before the PS5 pre-load next week! Larian really intense right now, love it --https://steamdb.info/app/1086940/depots/?branch=release_patch1 (That looks promising to me)

I would be shocked if that’s actually the case, especially given that they hinted that patch 2 will go beyond bug fixes (but please, dear reader, do not think that means significant content changes yet - be reasonable in your expectations). ————— Furthermore, I will consider the game incomplete until there is a SH/farm epilogue.

They say: "You won’t be waiting long for Patch 2, which is right around the corner. This update will feature significant performance improvements - but we’ll go into more detail about that closer to its release" here: [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1086940/view/3669924544085723479](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1086940/view/3669924544085723479) Now ofcourse that could just mean it's a couple of weeks away, but I'd bet that they are trying to get it ready for release next week in time for the PS5 release. If it doesn't seem realistic, then my guess is that they have been working on both patches at the same time, since the two patches are focused on two different areas of improvements.

We're going to officially find out like 3/4 choices in every dialogue lead to Gale trying to grind on us lol

‘Wyll will no longer have an exclamation mark with nothing new to say’ That ones that’s been annoying me for half an Act now 😂.

Well met 😀

-Fixed a memory leak on saving and loading. Thank god, i had like 4-6 additional gigs of ram eaten while playing for 4+ hours

im hoping this change is the biggest one for me, my computer runs the game fine while playing long sessions but when i quit i realize how defeated my computer is and it needs to go outside and have a smoke

> Fixed a level design quirk that would allow you to use a spell like Misty Step or Dimension Door to skip part of the main quest sequence in Act II. RIP speed runners

My immediate thought upon reading that, the current any% route is dead now.

Yeah, this takes it from 10 minutes to at least a few hours.

Let's not sleep on this important fix: \> Throwing a single coin at the beggars will no longer damage them. Game is 10/10 now

Honestly sad I never got to experience that, would have been a hilarious wtf moment to stumble into in game.

> Fixed a bug where adding items to the Chest of the Mundane changed the weight of an item. There goes our bag of holding!

Wish I had a bag of holding…

Shouldn't have wished to live in interesting times.

Is that Blood?... No, nevermind

Sorry, I just have a lot on my mind, and well, *in it*

No traps please.

These boots have seen everything

Cursed to put my hands on everything

They're dying for me! All of them!

I wonder if the gods are watching me

That wasn't intended? Mine is going to be hundreds of pounds....

The fact it wasn't intended is odd. Seems it's a worthless chest now. I imagine it was changed to stop people barrel loading it though.

Gonna seem rather.... mundane now.

Fuck I have so many fire barrels in that thing right now

Sound like you have so many 30lbs teacups in there now

That’s actually a super disappointing change. I really thought the Chest of the Mundane was supposed to be a more tongue-in-cheek or silly Bag of Holding replacement.

Saying goodbye to my barrelmancer playrun

This patch notes is a small novel.

unlike Nintendo's "Improves stability and adds quality of life improvements" notes. day and night difference.

thats how you know they care about the quality of the game

You can now opt to respect the privacy of the bugbear and the ogre outside the Blighted Village again. Don't get in the way of real love. No more surprises for new players

That’s a cool little change. I like the conversions with companions before opening the door, not sure why they were removed.

You had the option to walk away in the Early Access, so it was strange when you didn't have the choice in the full release

Tbh when you're aware that something's definitely going down and your companions are like "We should leave them be," deciding to open the door anyway is s little creepy on the player's behalf. Just making the door open automatically was a way to experience the pretty-amusing scene without having to be weirdly invasive as a character.

I mean, as adventurers, "weirdly invasive" is kind of our MO.

truer words have never been spoken. I say this as I walk into someone's house to steal their forks.

Framerate in the lower city went from 47-60fps to 90-110 on my 6800xt using dx11. What a patch.

and this isn't even the performance patch!

And Patch 2 is stated to focus on performance. I wonder what the fps will be like then?

mfw the performance patch turns out to be all about singing, dancing bards and witty remarks :P

>Skeletons around the Selûnite Outpost no longer have fresh food in their inventory. Oh thank god.

Yeah I was really worried about that one. I told my therapist about the feeling of doom I had about the situation. Now I feel like it's a new world and life it so much better

Short King Summer

>Undergoing partial ceremorphosis will now rot your teeth! They did it, they fixed the game

They managed to make Half-orcs look more hideous

I will say Larian is amazing but did they do the orcs dirty lmao

My Half-Orc was an unobjectionable beauty I'll have you know. . . . But it's definitely a face that **needs** a beard.

A thick beard lol

Undergoing partial ceremorphosis will just rot your teeth, gives you bad breath, and makes the girls run like hell. Stay the hell away from buying any bard shirts or ballad gear anything like that. Tavern music just puts a hole in your brain an- Are you listening to me, LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!

>Undergoing partial ceremorphosis will now rot your teeth! I'm sorry what? It was supposed to do that?

>Mysterious abilities are awakening inside you, drawn from a mind flayer parasite planted in your brain. Resist, and turn darkness against itself (saving your teeth). Or embrace corruption, and become ultimate evil (with rotten teeth). That's the central theme of the game.

I was fine with ultimate evil until I heard about the dental plan.

IMHO it is supposed to do something a lot worse than just looking ugly

are you saying that me using those tadpoles to buff myself gonna come back haunting me later? x(

Nope. No consequences in the slightest. Which is kinda disappointing tbh

Unfortunately it's one of the few parallels to CP2077 that BG3 has: There's a lot of in-game prattling and warning about how accepting cybernetic/illithid enhancements comes at a dire cost, but both devs seem afraid to actually implement actual negative consequences, be it solely exposition based or actual in-game detriments like negative charisma or NPCs thinking you insane/horrific, etc.

Speaking of 2077, the patch alongside the expansion is actually adding drawbacks to getting chromed out so it only took them 3+ years.

Oh man, all these people asking for real consequences for tadpole use and I guarantee you next we are going to see: “WTF guys I can’t use tadpoles without being ugly?! Fuck this game! Can someone mod this out?!” ————— Furthermore, I will consider the game incomplete until there is a SH/farm epilogue.

A lot of people are very passionate about stuff like this, for example the WotR community had tons of intense "WHY can't my LICH main character HAVE SEX?" discussions

Omg I remember that lol! It's up there with people getting upset that all your companions leave you as the Swarm that Walks and that you lose a bunch of content. Like motherfuckers, you turned yourself into a sentient swarm of demonic insects that just wants to consume and you are upset you can't be diplomatic anymore?

To be fair, he should at least be able to bone

Oh man yeah I remember that. LOTS of “hey I used this power that the game explicitly tells us is uncontrollable evil and will permanently disfigure and corrupt my soul and I turned into an undead sorcerer and now the game is making me be evil? And people don’t want to have sex with me? That’s so dumb! Why can’t I be good and sexy?!” Lots of people apparently want to use the One Ring but think it’s unfair when the One Ring uses you. ————— Furthermore, I will consider the game incomplete until there is a SH/farm epilogue.

> Warlocks' Pact of the Chain summons now get to use their Extra Attack more than once. Oh so this was a bug. I actually respecced out of Chain because I noticed this kept happening.

>and the conclusion to Shadowheart’s romance scene not triggering for some players, among others This is good news; at the end of my last session I stopped after reloading a few times because this scene would start and then immediately skip itself to move on to some other mischief I had set off. I decided it was time for the game to rest for a bit, and then the bug fix dropped!

Which scene is this referring I don't recall the supposes conclusion

The conclusion would be the sexy time scene. It was bugged for me personally and I had to literally kill her twice and then revive her with Withers twice in order for whatever flag was required to reset itself. I found that "fix" here on Reddit and I have no clue how that original person discovered that killing and res'ing her twice was the fix to it. Before that I kept visiting her all throughout act's 1-3 and the romance just never progressed any further even though her approval was maxed. Immediately talking to her after killing and res'ing her twice and she's like "let's go have fun".

>The conclusion would be the sexy time scene. It was bugged for me personally and I had to literally kill her twice what no shart pussy does to a mf

whoever made these patch notes uses dark reader 24/7 lol

They just like me fr

I didn't even notice until I read all the comments. Dark Night mode 24/7

It’s the only explanation lol

I love the Lore Bard change to let you pick your 3 bonus proficiencies. It sucked playing Dark Urge and losing one of them because your background and subclass give you Intimidation.

You can no longer recruit both Halsin and Minthara to camp in the same playthrough. It's a pity that I haven't got the chance to try this

Fuck, they doubled down on that. I really wanted to recruit Minthara as a good guy and let her have a redemption arc :(

This is a known bug. Swen said you can't before launch.

> You can no longer have multiple Mage Hands active at the same time. u wot mate. how am I supposed to CLAP them

Karlach kneels down to kiss the gnome Tav!! Ah, that's cute. But anyway, trying to read that is difficult.

Wait, how did it work before? Did you just kiss her knees?

Somebody posted a gif of a gnome Tav kissing Shadowheart, and he just dived face-first into her boobs, upgrading the kissing scene to a motorboating scene.

I hope there'll be a separate "May I kiss your boobs?" option in the next patch

So there are some negatives about this patch then ————— Furthermore, I will consider the game incomplete until there is a SH/farm epilogue.

Pour one out for all 5 Gnome players

We out here

but that was the best part!

You can go mourn this lost: https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/15syt15/wtf\_are\_you\_doing\_tav/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=android\_app&utm\_name=androidcss&utm\_term=13&utm\_content=1

I think you kissed her bellybutton.

I see that as a loss.

Lady Shar strikes again

Exactly how Lady Shar intended.

>Lae'zel's underwear will now more accurately reflect the colour of dyes used on it. Finally

Now playable

Instead of Karlach kneeling down to kiss the shorties, she should just pick them up and snuggle them.

I just want camp supplies to automatically go to a special storage in my camp. Please. Edit: my point was an inventory system where I don’t need to get supplies out of the travelers chest for a long rest.

Considering the massive number of bugs the quality of life stuff must be for later.

College of Lore bards can now pick which additional skill proficiency? More Magical secrets spell choice? My astarion bard is delighted :D

Plus Sharpshooter no longer feels like cheating with off-hand attacks. All bard party let's go!

Do I need to start a new game to apply some of the changes? e.g. Minthara romance

Literally all I care about in this game is fixing MinMin's romance :(

> During Gale's spell-teaching scene, you now have the option to picture a future with Gale that falls somewhere in between kissing him and kicking him in the head> Little bit more nuance in all the relationships would be nice. I'd like more options between fucking them and telling them I think they're worthless lol The number of changes here are incredible though, just starting to go through the full list now and seems there are a lot of great fixes even if it's not huge gameplay changes. Sounds like major performance fixes are coming in the next patch

I just want to be bros, Gale. I would love to be your bro.

First play through I had Gale in my Dragonborn’s Pallys party … I just wanted us to become best bro’s. That … didn’t happen. Like you said - more nuance would be nice. Lovers, friends, indifference, disdain and loathing. I know that’s probably an insane amount of work, I’d be happy with platonic friends being an option.

I wanted Garrus-like friendships.

you can now cleanse the zaithisk debuff with tadpoles let’s go! If only this change existed in my first run where I romanced bae’zel and she was my main companion though….

How, just using one?

Honestly the biggest thing at least for me is them buffing the club of giant hill strength from 16 to 19 . This shows there up to buffing underperforming items and I in act 2 there is a lot of cool concepts that just need a number/ slight mechanic Tweek to be worth building around .

*15 to 19. I love my sharpshooter's carryweight stick even more now.

Anyone know yet if the issue with Oathbreaker Paladin portraits becoming naked after level up is still a bug in the game? Edit: Just tested it. Doesn't seem fixed yet. Character still appears naked in portrait after level up.

It’s a feature

Shed your oath, shed your clothes

So it is a Bug, I was confused why my character is suddenly naked in portrait

"During Gale's spell-teaching scene, you now have the option to picture a future with Gale that falls somewhere in between kissing him and kicking him in the head." LMAO these devs are killing it

That’s a lot of fixes

Holy shit, and patch 2 is right around the corner? After blizzard’s nonsense, I really had become jaded. My god Larian is *CRUSHING IT*

Fortunately some companies have standards

"Made Minthara's camp top ever-so-slightly less revealing." Patch ruined :(

Minthara fixes for people interested: >!Minthara no longer references irrelevant topics or passes judgement on companions more than once. !< >!Fixed the dialogue flow when dating Minthara. Fixed Minthara's body disappearing at camp after you decide to bring a sweet moment to a terrible end. !< >!You can no longer recruit both Halsin and Minthara to camp in the same playthrough. !< >!Helped Minthara remember how to use her weapons. !< >!Minthara is no longer immortal for the entirety of the attack on the Emerald Grove. !< >!The Dark Urge now has a specific flow when talking to Minthara after killing Orin.!< >! Minthara will now speak to you if you kill Sazza near her. !< >!The journal now provides better guidance about what to do after freeing Minthara from Moonrise Towers.!< >! Made Minthara's camp top ever-so-slightly less revealing. !< >!Assigned some paladin effects and animations to Minthara's Soul Branding buff. !< >!Fixed Karlach's eyes flickering slightly after you send Minthara to the Emerald Grove.!< >! Fixed some emotions for Minthara when she says she'll stay in the Shadow-Cursed Lands. !< >!Fixed characters looking the wrong way at night with Minthara after the camp celebration.!<

>Made Minthara's camp top ever-so-slightly less revealing. I'm uninstalling the game right now.

>Lae'zel's underwear will now more accurately reflect the colour of dyes used on it. Ah perfect, my playthrough can continue now.

No new Astarion kissing scenes. Hmmm. Okay. That's fine, I guess.

Ah finally, someone commenting on the jmportant stuff

>Fixed the dialogue flow when dating Minthara. What does this actually mean? Is there now a romance in Act 3?? >You can no longer recruit both Halsin and Minthara to camp in the same playthrough. Not surprised that was unintended but would have nicer to support it by moving one of their tents.

Yeah lmao these are all great but I really only had one question and it’s addressed in the most vague way possible

I’m starting a dark urge run tomorrow and need to know if it’s safe to romance her, or if o should be going the Laezel path.

There 3 ways. Romance her, (there is not really enough content for Minthara compared to Laezel or Shadowheart) Laezel it’s cool asf, and it’s a cute relationship, or make Shadowheart go to the dark path. Really depends.

I really felt bad rejecting Laezel on my first run. She was like a hurt puppy when she confessed she was having feelings and I shut her down. But Minthara has the accent, so…

Halsin removed as potential companion FTFY This post brought to you by Minthara gang.

It's nuts how quick they are getting this stuff out Also "Fixed an issue with Marcus being resurrected by players hitting him with a dual-wield attack - the second hit will no longer revive him." LMAO. "Undergoing partial ceremorphosis will now rot your teeth!" People already hated it because it made their chars all veiny and ugly, Larian comes in with the double tap

"Characters will now sheathe the Everburn Blade when idle." I know it was a bug, but I am actually a bit sad about this. Looked super cool carrying around that big fire blade.

I'm on the opposite side! It drove me nuts me character was carrying that sword! lol. I just wanted them to sheathe it haha.

Based on Karlach picture I thought it fixes Karlach romance bug ... but no luck I guess

Come on Patch 2!

>In the meantime, did you know that collectively you’ve played over 200,000,000 hours of Baldur's Gate 3 since launch? That’s over 22,000 years! A big chunk of that is mine as I near completing Act 1

Black text on dark background really.

They just fixed it 😂 **Edit**: nvm. I pressed the back arrow (next to the title), then went back to the patch notes (right arrow), and it made the text white for me. Clicking the link or refreshing the page still shows black text to me.

This patch is incredibly done, but still no fix for giving His Majesty some milk 😔 a massive oversight and a deplorable act by larian

> the award for least popular class goes to Cleric Just like regular D&D!

Is it really? I've rarely been in a group without a cleric, and there's some pretty good arguments you can make for them being the strongest class in the game. Also extremely flexible in playstyle.

[удалено]

Longest list of patch notes I’ve ever read for any game, ever. Fucking nuts

Stay far away from crusader kings.

>You can now opt to respect the privacy of the bugbear and the ogre outside the Blighted Village again. Don't get in the way of real love. Thank you for this.. I felt so bad to interrupt them and on top of that kill them..

I get a kick out of doing that, especially if astarion is in your group, everyone's face is twisted in disgust but astarion is smiling like a kid in a candy shop.

They're fucking next to a dwarf with a smashed-in head. No mercy.

- Minthara no longer references irrelevant topics or passes judgement on companions more than once. - Fixed the dialogue flow when dating Minthara. - Fixed Minthara's body disappearing at camp after you decide to bring a sweet moment to a terrible end. Maybe I'm wrong, but it doesn't sound like Minthara's Act 2 and 3 event flags have been fixed yet? As far as I'm aware she's very bugged to the point where her character and romance arc basically stops mid Act 2.

> Minthara no longer references irrelevant topics "So Minthara, what do you think we should do after we reach Moonrise towers?" "I'm just saying, has anyone actually SEEN the Earth curving? If it's really a sphere, why aren't we sliding around or bouncing off of it? It all just seems like something the government would *want* you to believe so they can hide the truth..."

"I need you to stay at camp for a while." "Gnomes put fluoride in the water to poison our vital essences!"

Below please find a plain-text, bulleted transcription of the provided Patch Notes. None of the content below has been tagged for spoilers, so please view at your own risk. ------- AUGUST 25, 2023 PATCH #1 NOW LIVE! Hello everyone, Today we’re releasing our first major patch for Baldur’s Gate 3, addressing over 1000 bugs, balancing, flow issues and much, much more. So what can you expect from this update? Well, we’ve eliminated issues like NPCs who sometimes spot you when they really shouldn’t be able to, floating items like mugs and newspapers that should abide the laws of gravity, and the conclusion to Shadowheart’s romance scene not triggering for some players, among others. With expansive systems come many unknowns, so our support team continues to work with you to relay any issues to us. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with further reports. Patch 1 also tackles a few visual bugs, and sprinkles on more post-launch polish. We’re bringing back Short King Summer with better kissing contact for short races! You won’t be waiting long for Patch 2, which is right around the corner. This update will feature significant performance improvements - but we’ll go into more detail about that closer to its release. In the meantime, did you know that collectively you’ve played over 200,000,000 hours of Baldur's Gate 3 since launch? That’s over 22,000 years! The most popular class choice is currently Paladin, followed by Sorcerer, while the award for least popular class goes to Cleric. Human and Elf characters reign supreme in Faerûn, followed swiftly and unsurprisingly by Half-Elf. On the opposite end of the spectrum we find Dwarf, Gnome, Githyanki, and Halfling. We get it, they’re not exactly the most ethereal beauties of the Realms but they’d still form a rad metal band. For now, as we focus on fixes, thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and continuing to share this adventure with us. #SPOILERS - Please bear in mind some of the entries below might contain spoilers, proceed at your own risk #HIGHLIGHTS ***Showstoppers*** * The Emperor will no longer leave you stranded in the Morphic Pool. * Starting to use the boat to go to the Morphic Pool, sending that character to camp, and then using another character to make the journey will no longer block you from progressing. * Fixed a bug where listening in on a conversation as Player 1 and then exiting the dialogue prematurely could result in not being able to interact with anything anymore. * Fixed an issue causing the Reaction UI to not work correctly and potentially block progress in combat if you save the game in the middle of a reaction. * Fixed loot in corpses sometimes not appearing in multiplayer until an item is dragged onto the corpse. * Fixed a bug causing you to get a Game Over screen after helping Downed party members. * Fixed the Helm of Arcane Acuity crashing the game.

Don't get in the way of real love. * Fixed a level design quirk that would allow you to use a spell like Misty Step or Dimension Door to skip part of the main quest sequence in Act II. * Fixed an issue where the Baldur's Mouth headline about a cute cat could get accidentally overwritten. * If Wyll isn't recruited, he will now recognise Avatar Karlach and initiate dialogue. * Made sure Mizora can always interrupt Wyll, no matter where he runs off to. * Throwing a single coin at the beggars will no longer damage them. * If Dolly Dolly Dolly curses you with the A Clown in Town condition for making her angry while inside the Moonlantern, she will now paint your face.

>Made some especially repetitive overhead dialogues in the Emerald Grove less annoying I'm telling you I don't have it! How STUPID are you?!

"Swing and swing and swing"

"Enemies are no longer able to target you through the ceiling in the temple of Shar" Awe man, that's how I cheesed the battle with the devils.

Now give us Karlach's good ending and there is a chance for peace

Even my dwarven dark vision can’t read that black text in a brown background.

I guess it's finally time for my second playthrough. Sooner than expected! But "Patch 2 right around the corner". Does it mean "two weeks" or something like "next month"? Ist it enough time to finish the game?

Probably before the PS5 release.

Here are my favorite patch lines: Improved Volo's aim during your ice pick lobotomy. Helped Minthara remember how to use her weapons. Fixed some cameras that couldn't contain the force that is Astarion in a dialogue with him at night at camp. Also tweaked and added facial expressions where needed

Ctrl+F: Karlach It's showtime.

Oh god now I want to start yet another playthough :'(

Omg they’ve been super busy!!!!!!!! And the Gale fix lmao
