Baldur's Gate 3 spoils Karlach and Halsin fans with new kiss animations and leaves Astarion devotees in the friend zone
The latest Baldur's Gate 3 patch has changed Karlach and Halsin's kiss animations for the better - but left Astarion fans demanding more.
In the Baldur's Gate 3 patch 4, which went live on November 2, developer Larian made a few changes to the RPG. One of the most noticeable changes saw improvements to "the appearance of Karlach's kiss," as well as fixes to "some kissing animations for large female humans and female dragonborns." It didn't take long for fans to investigate these changes themselves, with several asking Karlach for a smooch soon after the patch was released.
Larian should be proud of itself as Karlach's new animation has made the Tiefling Barbarian's fans go absolutely feral. "THE NEW CASUAL KISSING ANIMATION FOR KARLACH IS MAKING ME INSANE," one Twitter user has shared, along with a clip of them locking lips with the companion. "Whoever animated the new Karlach kiss… You need to buy me more memory because I can't stop screenshotting," another fan revealed.

Similarly, fans have pointed out how much smoother Halsin's kissing scenes are. "Halsin has a new 'casual' kissing animation too, it matches the vibe of his romance well I think," one Baldur's Gate 3 player shared, along with a clip that proves it. "Short Kings & Queens stay winning with Halsin with #BG3 Patch 4," another has also said, along with a clip from their playthrough, which features the NPC crouching down to kiss a short Tav.
