Baldur’s Gate 3 Developer Has No Plans to be Acquired

Baldur's Gate III is prepared to receive its first patch and by the looks of it, it seems like a huge one. Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke confirmed a roadmap on Twitter, promising to fix issues and make relevant tweaks to ability balances, based on user suggestions. First up, is hotfix #4, which would make some emergency fixes to crashes and progressions blocks, in addition to any bugs that hinder the general interface. That will be followed by the massive patch, boasting over 1,000 fixes, followed by patch 2, which will ‘incorporate some requests.' It's unclear what those requests could be, but we already know that the team is planning an update that would let players change their character's appearance mid-game.

Minthara is a possible party member that you can recruit in Baldur’s Gate 3. But depending on your choices, the route to getting on your side can change drastically. In our case, we’ll be tackling how you can recruit Minthara if you’ve decided to take the evil path through the game. And if Minthara has ended up in the jails of Moonrise Towers, this is your one opportunity to recruit her while you can. So, let’s save Minthara from the Moonrise Towers in Baldur’s Gate 3.

It’s official — Baldur’s Gate 3 is the best video game of all time. Well, it’s in the top 10 best video games of all time, coming in tenth place. And this isn’t just in my opinion; Baldur’s Gate 3 is in the top 10 games of all time on Metacritic, a respectable site that compiles the reviews of critics and users.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has been nothing short of a revelation, and in the days following its release earlier this month, Larian Studios’ widely acclaimed RPG has enjoyed unprecedented success on all fronts.

Larian Studios has released its third major hotfix for Baldur’s Gate 3, addressing over 200 bugs. Along with the Blue Behir Dice being available for all players permanently, Scratch’s ability to search for digging spots has improved. He’ll do so automatically and won’t require constant direction.

A studio that handled Baldur’s Gate III translations has apologized after outsourced workers were omitted from the game’s credits. "We take full responsibility for this omission of our freelancers' names and apologize for the effects that it had," Altagram Group founder and CEO Marie Amigues said in a statement. "We would like to thank Larian for allowing us to quickly fix that error and update the credits section. The names of the Brazilian Portuguese translators will be included in an upcoming patch to the game."

Larian Studios has released two hotfixes for Baldur’s Gate 3, its acclaimed Dungeons and Dragons RPG. A recent minor hotfix restored cross-platform saves ahead of the PS5 version’s launch, which the team is focused on, but will all these improvements reflect in the console version?

In a year where The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom came along and swept everyone off their feet not only with its astounding sales, but also with the universal praise it garnered, most would have imagined that it would be hard for another game to reach that same level. And yet, Larian Studios’ recently-released RPG sensation Baldur’s Gate 3 seems to be giving Nintendo’s open world title a run for its money- at least right now.

Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3 may have received significant acclaim from fans and critics, but it does have some issues. The developer has addressed the same in two hotfixes and is working on Patch 1 (which will add credits for the Brazilian Portuguese localization team).

A new hotfix is available for Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3, addressing almost 300 issues, from progression blockers and crashes to bugs. If you’ve noticed pauses and long silences that feel awkward in some conversations, these have been fixed across over 200 dialogues. Companions should also no longer block the camera during conversations.

Baldur's Gate III is dominating the Steam charts with record-breaking numbers, surpassing the 800,000 concurrent player mark on August 6. To be precise, the peak count was 814,666, perching it as the ninth-highest ranking PC game, when sorted by all-time peak variable — right below Hogwarts Legacy. It's an impressive feat, considering the game had been out for nearly three years now, albeit in early access, which allowed developer Larian Studios to slow-cook it to perfection based on player feedback. The completed version of the game dropped August 3 on PC and has shown no signs of slowing down.

In case you missed it, Baldur’s Gate 3 has left early access and is available now on PC. Thus far, it’s reached a peak concurrent player count of 814,666 on Steam, becoming the second-biggest launch on the platform for the year. Of course, even with a 75 to 100-hour campaign with heaps of replay value, one has to ask: Expansion?
