On the 2024 Roadmap, Blizzard announced a mysterious Patch 10.2.6 with a Skull and Crossbones Flag. Could this mean… Pirates? The World of Warcraft 2024 Roadmap revealed the entire 2024 plan for Retail WoW with features for each of the upcoming patches, except for a suspicious looking Patch 10.2.6.
Baldur’s Gate 3’s 30 GB Patch 5 Brings a New Chapter, More Customization Options, and Spicy Outfits
30.11.2023 - 19:11 / gamepur.com / Honour Mode
Baldur’s Gate 3 has taken an exciting leap forward with the recent unleashing of a 30 GB Patch. It’s a gargantuan update stuffed with meaningful content and silly little nods that I’m surprised it’s not DLC. It certainly weighs the part.

Larian Studios, the architects behind this Dungeons & Dragons-inspired adventure, have wielded their creative prowess to infuse the game with fresh epilogues, customization options, a new difficulty mode, and even spicier attires, as announced in their patch notes. The Wavemother’s Robe has got nothing on this one.
Unpacking Baldur’s Gate 3 Mammoth 30 GB Patch 5
The new chapter, titled “Journey’s End,” offers players a poignant closure to their epic escapades through Faerûn. This epilogue presents an emotionally charged reunion with companions, where memories are swapped and narratives resolved. According to Larian, these final moments reflect the intricate web of choices made throughout the adventure, which must have been a heck of a hard thing to work through, but I’m more than ready to get my heartstrings tugged all over again.
Besides the substantial addition to Baldur’s Gate 3 storyline, the fashion game got a serious upgrade too. Characters can now sport a new set of threads and attire that’ll be dropped during the Orin boss battle.
When it comes to game mechanics, the update introduces two challenging game modes: Honour Mode, intensifying the gameplay to a hardcore level, and Custom Mode, allowing players to tailor their experience, from rolling dice checks to tweaking enemy HP visibility. If you survive Honour Mode, you earn the coveted Golden D20, a token of your strategic roleplaying badassery.
And then, there are also a bunch of improvements: performance boosts across all platforms, Korean subtitles, and, my favorite of them all, enhanced inventory access. Gone are the days of walking all the way to where non-party members were standing in camp to manage their inventory.

Despite this hefty update feeling akin to paid DLC, Larian Studios’ commitment to elevating Baldur’s Gate 3 shines through even after its RPG legacy cements. Larian has been listening to feedback, even post-launch. The meticulous attention to detail and the continuous drive to enhance player experiences affirm that this studio isn’t merely crafting a game; they’re weaving a legend.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Gets MASSIVE Patch
Gamers should be used to updating and patching their games occasionally, but the real trick is having to do it with games that need a massive amount of storage just to initiate the update/patch. An excellent example of this is coming with Baldur’s Gate 3. The beloved title has slowly been patched up, with new content and fixes added over time, as Larian Studios has been listening to fan thoughts and complaints about the game ever since launch. But “Patch 5” is the biggest of the bunch, as it will be a whopping 30 GB to get installed!

Baldur's Gate 3's Latest Patch Lets You Recruit Minthara With Less Murder
Baldur's Gate 3 has a whole bunch of characters you can recruit, but none of them require you to pay a higher price than Minthara. In order to recruit her, you have to side with the Goblins in Act 1 and slaughter a bunch of Tieflings by raiding the Grove. A lot of people very much like Minthara as a character, but aren't a huge fan of having to murder countless innocents just to add her to the party.

Baldur’s Gate 3’s new patch adds a ‘no save scum’ mode with a handsome reward
The new patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 is a big one — big enough that Larian Studios says you might want to uninstall and reinstall the game, because downloading the update requires a huge chunk of storage space. Patch 5 for Baldur’s Gate 3 is full of new additions, though, including playable epilogues with “some of the most complex writing in the game thus far,” the option to play “a more realistic D&D experience,” and a brand-new difficulty option that’s anti-save scumming.
