We now have a better idea of how big Baldur's Gate 3's next patch will be, with Larian confirming that it will make over 1,000 fixes and improvements to the game. The devs have also gone into more detail on what some of these fixes will entail, with the changes ranging from simple bug fixes to new story content altogether.
Going live sometime in September, Patch 7 will address some big issues, like companions not acting as intended or some conversations bugging out. But it will also add new ending cinematics, dialogue options, and reactivity to in-game decisions. On the whole, this seems to be the biggest patch yet - so much so that it's having a closed beta period before it goes live for everyone.
Walking away from a beloved masterpiece like this is its own challenge.
That beta test was supposed to start today, but Larian pushed it back because the patch inadvertently created a new bug - passive rolls stopped working. That's a pretty bug problem, so the patch isn't ready to be tested by fans yet. In the meantime, Larian is tiding us over with more patch notes.
There are far too many features...
