Baldur's Gate 3Hotfix 8 is now live and aims to address a series of crashing issues, but most importantly it makes His Majesty hairless again.
Larian Studios has released the next hotfix for its RPG and while the small update mainly takes care of technical issues, the developer has listened to some feedback from players to make one character look like their original self again.
During your travels, you may have encountered His Majesty — a Sphynx cat with a sassy attitude that players quickly fell in love with. But it turns out that he was supposedly never intended to be a Sphynx cat after patch 3 — the same patch that let us finally able to change our character's appearance — made it so the feline had a full body of hair.
Players were outraged by the change and asked Larian to make him bald again. So they did and in Hotfix 8, you'll find His Majesty is back to his usual hairless look. Thank you, Larian.

Raphael's original brown hair color has also been restored after it was turned black in the same patch that made His Majesty hairy, another fix that was implemented following player feedback. The devil's portrait in the House of Hope has also been reverted back to reflect his original appearance.
On top of some crashing issues that have now been resolved, another particular problem that has been frustrating players pertains to companions unloading their equipment onto them every time they get dismissed from their party.
This bug has been fixed with Larian saying, «When dismissed, they will no longer give you all the items they deem important for you to carry, like a toddler in a grocery store.» You can read the full patch notes below.
