Larian Kicks Off 2024 With a Beefy Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix That Makes Quest Items Easier to Access
ign.comLarian Studios has kicked off 2024 with a beefy Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix that tackles multiple bugs and blockers, and makes accessing trinkets much easier.
“Have your party members been hoarding trinkets?” Larian wrote with typical flair in the Baldur’s Gate 3 patch notes published on Steam.
“Did you accidentally send Minthara’s lute to your camp supplies, thinking nobody could possibly need a lute in this day and age? In this hotfix, you will now be able to access certain quest-related items on the spot - even if they’re not held by your current party! How’s that for magic pockets?”
Elsewhere, the hotfix added categories to the Waypoints list, grouping Waypoints by location. Also of note is yet another fix for a kiss: “Fixed Gale's dialogue ending abruptly when asking him for a kiss,” Larian said. “Enjoy the moment.”
Meanwhile, Larian told Mac players of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game that it’s “restructuring” to make sure future updates on Mac arrive alongside their PC versions. “It'll take a bit of time but once finished, there shouldn't be delays anymore,” Larian said. Until then, Larian expects a delay for updates of a maximum of two weeks. “We're sorry for the inconvenience and understand this is frustrating,” Larian said. “Thank you for your patience.”
