Few games inspire devotion like Baldur’s Gate, and Larian Studios continues building feverish anticipation for Baldur’s Gate 3. This week brings Patch 6, touting hefty quality-of-life improvements to match its staggering 21GB size. While delivering long-awaited fan requests, the patch also signals the sprawling RPG’s steadily increasing scale.
Smoothing party management remains a focus in Patch 6. Players can now directly swap companions without the cumbersome dismiss-then-recruit shuffle. Additionally, dialogue triggers will properly initiate through the user’s character first rather than randomly jumping between party members. These changes reflect Larian’s attentiveness towards frustration points for players adventuring across the epic fantasy landscape.
Yet seating these upgrades comes a towering patch rivalling full game installs. At 21GB, Patch 6 epitomizes Baldur’s Gate 3’s ballooning scope since its early access launch.
