Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian has released the game’s fourth major patch, which makes over 1,000 fixes, tweaks, and changes to the hugely popular RPG.
Highlights include the addition of a setting for colour-blind people, as well as the visual customisation of hirelings upon recruitment. “No more Extreme Makeover: Faerûn Edition,” Larian said in a Steam post.
Patch #4, which brings the sprawling Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game up to version number v4.1.1.3882084, adds a setting in the Accessibility tab that lets players choose between protanopia, deuteranopia, or tritanopia, which applies to character outlines and circles, character map markers, frame portraits in turn order, and party portraits. “We hope that including these settings will allow you to more easily differentiate between friends, foes, and help with navigating combat,” Larian said.
Elsewhere, you can now dismiss dead avatars to Withers' Wardrobe (Withers will now also explain how the wardrobe works). Scratch will now fetch pretty much everything. And you can now use sponges and soaps to clean up your party members, removing grime, bruises, blood, and bad odours.
In IGN’s review of Baldur's Gate 3, which returned a 10/10, we said: "With crunchy, tactical RPG combat, a memorable story with complex characters, highly polished cinematic presentation, and a world that always rewards exploration and creativity, Baldur's Gate 3 is the new high-water mark for CRPGs."
