The latestBaldur’s Gate 3patch is out, and all anybody will talk about are the buggy invisible gnome underpants and the penises clipping through clothing. Larian themselves highlighted it in their patch notes, and the socials have predictably gone wild with talk of girthy githyankis. Well, some of us like to think of ourselves as serious journalists, thank you very much, so I’d like to call your attention to the, dare I say, more grown-up elements of the patch, which range from fine-tuning the tooltips to making dragons appear in the right place.
Tear your eyes from those lurid details of absentee knickers and glitchy sausages, and you’ll see that Larian has fixed no less than 13 crash bugs and progress blockers, though sadly not the crash bug I always seem to get when I run the game in DirectX 11. They’ve also sorted out an issue with enemies entering combat when they’re on a different floor, together with the occasional odd prolonged silence in over 200 dialogues, and a smattering of minor issues with cameras and clipping. See, this is the stuff video game news is rightly made of. None of your adolescent leering, thanks.

I hope bugs like these were as fun to uncover as they are to read about. I suspect they probably weren’t - QA is an ordeal even when you aren’t labouring away at a game with thousands of possible ending variations. At the very least, though, we can all agree that this is far more worthy of discussion than the unplanned appearance of a gnome’s privies. No, I don’t have any candid screenshots to share - don’t be uncouth! Here, have a nice one of Gale rocking out instead.
