Pucker up for better kissing in “hefty” Baldur’s Gate 3 update next week
Romance sim masquerading as fantasy RPG Baldur's Gate 3 is putting vaseline on its lips, wiggling a little bit of tongue out and practising in the mirror for its next big update. That’s right, just in time for Valentine’s Day (or maybe just after), Larian are dropping the “Improved Smooches” patch.
That’s the slightly more titillating name I’ve given what’s officially known as Patch 6, based on Larian’s own tease of what to expect - headlined by a short clip of the internet’s problematic fave vampire Astarion locking lips and, er, forehead with Tav, showing off a couple of the new romance options when wooing your Faerûn bias.
Snogging is undoubtedly the most exciting thing in the update, given Baldur’s Gate 3’s current de facto place as the romance game to beat. It’s far from the only thing, though, as Larian dropped some brief details on what else the “hefty” patch will include.
Love is in the air in Faerûn, and we've made improvements to locking lips with your romantic partner!
Releasing next week, Patch 6 includes improved smooches, new camp idle animations, new Legendary Actions in Honour Mode, and plenty of bug fixes
