"There's a lot coming" in Baldur's Gate 3 patch 5, which will hit the RPG later this week
Baldur's Gate 3 is aiming to fix Astarion's much-maligned kissing animation this week, and it sounds like there's a lot more in store besides that.
Earlier this month, Larian pledged to fix Astarion's kissing scenes for players who really weren't satisfied by their quiet time alone with the vampiric elf. Now, we have a better idea of when the fix will happen - the Baldur's Gate 3 dev says patch five should launch across PC and PS5 platforms this week.

Elsewhere in patch five, we should expect fixes for stutters when the player commits a crime or an act of violence. This might not be the long-awaited Act 3 fix that players have been after for weeks now, with the game's final act being "unplayable" with stutters and crashes for some, but it's good news.
That's not the only fix coming in the new patch. Just below, Larian reveals in a tantalizing tease that "there's a lot coming" in the update, but doesn't offer up any teases as to what that new stuff might be. Further ahead, it seems yet more "new features" are on the way too.
