The most popular class and race in Baldur’s Gate 3 will definitely surprise you

A large content update & round of bug fixes are coming to Baldur’s Gate 3, as a new patch is in development that will add requested features and address glitches that have been reported to the developer Larian Studios. While Baldur’s Gate 3 is very much playable in its retail form, there are still many issues that need addressing with the game.

Developer Larian has announced that PS5 players can start pre-loading critically-acclaimed RPG Baldur’s Gate 3 on August 31 in preparation of the game’s September 6 release date on the console. The pre-load is only available to those who pre-ordered the Digital Deluxe edition of the game.

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.

Larian boss Swen Vincke has revealed that the studio is currently working on a number of updates to critically-acclaimed RPG Baldur’s Gate 3. Among updates coming to the game, it is slated to get Hotfix 4, its first major patch with over 1,000 fixes and tweaks, and a second patch that will bring in some fan-requested features to the 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.

In more stats released by Larian Studios, we've learnt that the most popular choice of Origin character in Baldur's Gate 3 is also the seventh most common cause of death for players (at time of writing).

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."

Baldur’s Gate 3 had a huge launch on PC, and today, Larian Studios is shedding some light on a slew of player stats from launch weekend.  With peak concurrent player records currently standing at about 815,000, there's been a lot of stuff happening. In fact, the combined playtime over launch weekend topped over 1,225 years –10 million hours.

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 says it has been in contact with a localization company that failed to provide complete credits for the Brazilian translation of Baldur's Gate 3, and promised that all missing credits will be added in the next hotfix.
