Epic Games has revealed the full launch lineup for Fortnite Festival and it includes songs from artists like Fall Out Boy, Kendrick Lamar, and, strangely, LMFAO. Quite the spread.
Baldur's Gate 3's hottest fix yet tackles two separate make-out scenes and promises to repair Astarion's visible disgust at kissing you
17.11.2023 - 18:17 / pcgamer.com / Fox
Baldur's Gate 3's 11th hotfix is here, bringing with it a neat little list of tweaks and remedies to Larian's incredible RPG. But frankly, who cares? Because the real meat here is the fact that romancing Gale no longer entails canoodling in an inky black and infinite void and—praise be—you'll soon be able to kiss number one boy Astarion properly too.
«Have you ever had a romance so intense, that everything melts away?» writes Larian in the patch notes, «Well, sometimes that isn’t intentional. We’ve fixed an issue where Gale’s romance scene was playing in what looked like some kind of black void. Consider the ambience restored.» So, good news for wizard-fanciers. Alas, the Astarion kiss bug we spoke about earlier this month still persists, but Larian says it's working on it.
«We are aware of an issue with kissing animations for Astarion, and are currently working on a fix,» said the studio, «We expect this to be released in a future update.» Until then, try not to take the man's palpable disgust at locking lips with you personally.
Truth be told, I'm a bit of a poseur when it comes to this stuff. Don't tell anyone, or publish it in a news article on a website with millions of readers, but I never really found any of BG3's romances particularly alluring, and ended up settling on Shadowheart more or less because I felt like I should probably romance someone. Still, my understanding is that the young folk these days are into that silk-voiced, silver-haired fox and his lust for blood, life, and, uh, lust, so I'm happy they'll be able to properly kiss him sooner rather than later.
And, as if that wasn't enough, the patch also promises that «Wyll and Minthara should now properly kiss a second time without the need to retrigger the dialogue.» Romance isn't dead, folks, it's just all been concentrated into an impossibly dense form in a single videogame.
If, for whatever reason, you're interested in the full patch notes, even the non-kissing stuff, here they are in full:

History has repeated itself with Plex, a streaming app that lets you build your own Netflix, in a sense.
