Baldur’s Gate 3players will no doubt appreciate these improvements as they should go a long way in making the game even better. Small quality of life improvements like being able to more easily swap out activeBG3companionscan add up and result in a much better game overall. Considering the rave reviewsBaldur’s Gate 3earned when it first launched, no one would really have much room to complain if Larian had left it in its release date, so it’s commendable the studio has committed itself to continuously improving the game regardless.
There are still some major issues plaguingBaldur’s Gate 3that need fixed, but it’s not clear if Patch 6 will address them. These issues mainly pertain toBaldur’s Gate 3’s split-screen co-op mode, so it’s unknown how much of a priority they are, but hopefully fans don’t have to wait too much longer to see these issues tackled. Even if the split-screen problems are never fixed,Baldur’s Gate 3is still a sprawling, award-winning game that has no problem keeping fans busy for hundreds of hours.
