FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Baldurs Gate 3 s first major patch is now live, and just as promised, it 
includes over 1,000 fixes for various problems, including bugs and balancing 
issues. Its fixed so many things, in fact, that the patch notes dont actually 
fit within Steams news post character limit. 

Given the enormity of the patch, it's not possible to list every single 
change here but instead there are some key ones to highlight. The most 
exciting change might just be that, at long last, short characters can kiss 
their taller partners properly , in a major win for short kings everywhere. 
As Larian Studios has put it in the news post announcing that the update had 
been deployed: Were bringing back Short King Summer with better kissing 
contact for short races! Rejoice! 

Other large bugs that have been ironed out include one that previously caused 
a game over screen to appear after helping downed party members (which was 
far from ideal) and a glitch where characters could get trapped in an 
infinite falling loop. Also notable is the fact that from now on, attacking 
an NPC during dialogue after being downed will no longer present you with an 
untimely game over - youll be arrested, instead (so you should still probably 
avoid doing that). 

Meanwhile, significant changes have been made to Baldur's Gate 3 's game 
balance - to name a few things, you can no longer use the Shield reaction 
when silenced, NPCs will no longer be able to spot you when theyre not 
supposed to, and NPCs will no longer be able to attack outside of their turn 
at the start of combat during forced turn-based mode. 

If you want to read the patch notes in their entirety, you can find them here 
.. You might want to make a cup of tea or two before getting started, though - 
you'll be there a while. 

 Baldurs Gate 3 will soon be coming to PS5 , and after that, Xbox Series X 
|S. For more upcoming games coming to consoles, you can look at our roundup
