Baldur's Gate 3 Patch Adds An Epilogue Scene For Karlach
31.08.2023 - 20:09 / thegamer.com
Baldur's Gate 3 is a pretty good RPG, and it quickly became one of 2023's game of the year contenders shortly after release. Like all games though, it's definitely not perfect, and one of its biggest criticisms is how it treats fan favorite character Karlach, particularly during the events of Act 3 and her ending. Thankfully, Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios has already addressed the issue in its latest patch, giving Karlach a new epilogue scene to flesh out her endings a little bit better. Of course, expect heavy spoilers if you read on.
One of the biggest criticisms of Karlach's ending is that it felt a little bit abrupt overall, but this new patch adds some much needed context and more dialogue scenes with Karlach to make things seems a bit more fluid. This patch mostly has to do with the ending that has Karlach decide to travel to Avernus, as you'll now be able to choose whether Karlach travels by themselves, whether you go with them, or whether you go with them alone.

The patch has also added some build up to another ending, as this patch has introduced some new moments between the player and Karlach in which you can talk to them about the state of their engine between acts. There's also a new moment in which Karlach will question whether her engine could potentially burn out after getting her second upgrade, which adds a little more foreshadowing to one of the character's endings to make things feel less abrupt.
If you're not a huge fan of Karlach (how dare you), and are a little disappointed none of the other game's characters are getting as much love, you don't have to fear. Larian has stated that it's currently working on "additional endgame scenes" for many of the game's other characters, so future patches that are brought out could possibly focus on others that have endings that are a little lackluster.
Of course, the patch contains a whole bunch of performance and UI fixes, particularly in Act 3, which has been catching a bit of heat from fans. If you want to see all of the fun little tweaks and fixes, you can check out the entire list of patch notes here.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Team Stands Up For Bethesda At Starfield Backlash
When many high-profile video games are released within a given year, there will almost always be comparisons between them so long as they fit a general mold. For example, certain kinds of sports games will be compared to one another, or if there are a ton of first-person shooters coming out at once, they’ll be compared to one another, and so on. In 2023, multiple RPGs came out, two of which were Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield. While fundamentally different on many levels, some have taken the time to go and compare the two and insult one of the dev teams.

The new Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC patch adds some much-needed quality of life fixes
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet was originally released nearly a year ago on November 18, 2022 – and since then, scores of fans have been asking Game Freak to implement a slate of quality of life features, including ones (frustratingly) previously found in the celebrated Pokemon Legends. Like most things Game Freak-related, some fixes have been rolling out at a snail’s pace, including the updates added in patch 2.0.1, which is now live thanks to the launch of the Teal Mask DLC.

Baldur's Gate 3 - PlayStation 5 (PS5) Forum - Page 5
@Ravix I think I died once in an area with traps where i couldn't find the way out. And from what I can remember it loaded my last save when I died. Didn't really check if there were other consequences. It's a good thing I save a lot for those cases. I'm also not that experienced in D&D or CRPG, so I do a lot of trial and error. Testing what stuff does -> reloading etc to see what other options would do. I can understand that save scumming is being frowned upon for experienced crpg/D&D players, but IMO it can only help new players to D&D/CRPG's.
