The upcoming Patch 7 for Baldur’s Gate 3 is not just about fixing bugs and glitches, it also introduces dynamic splitscreen functionality for co-op players. This feature allows players to merge screens when they are close to each other, emphasizing the power of friendship in overcoming obstacles, even screen partitions. Moreover, players can easily toggle this feature from the HUD or within the RPG’s settings, whether they are in combat or exploring the world.
Enhancements to Honour Mode
In addition to the splitscreen feature, Patch 7 also brings expansions for Honour mode players. Legendary Actions are being added to more creatures, offering unique and special actions that can be triggered in specific circumstances. From the bulette to Malus Thorm and githyanki characters like Ch’r’ai Tska’an, the game is diversifying the combat experience for Honour mode players. Furthermore, local hobgoblin Dror Ragzlin gains an Arachnid Compulsion ability, adding more challenges and surprises for players venturing into the world of Baldur’s Gate 3.
One of the most exciting aspects of Patch 7 is the introduction of modding tools, allowing players to customize various elements of the game. From items like weapons and armor to cosmetic details such as hair and textures, players have the freedom to tailor their gameplay experience. Additionally, the modding toolkit includes options to modify races, classes, and subclasses, providing endless possibilities for creating unique characters and scenarios. The ability to tweak the user interface and even the dice used for skillchecks adds a new layer of depth to the game.
Patch 7 also introduces new endings for both Origin characters and custom creations in Baldur’s Gate 3. Players can unlock these cinematic endings through various means, adding more depth and replay value to the game. The evil endings, in particular, come with a host of improvements and bug fixes for Dark Urge players, addressing issues like party members ignoring companion murders. Notably, Minthara now responds differently if players have been stripped of Bhaal’s influence, adding more nuance to the story.
Despite the numerous enhancements and additions in Patch 7, there are still some limitations and disappointments for players. Dark Urge players, for example, may be dismayed to find out that they still cannot initiate a romantic encounter with Gortash. While the character may not be immediately recognizable to all players, the desire for romance illustrates the strong emotional connection that players feel towards the diverse cast of Baldur’s Gate 3. Ultimately, Patch 7 strives to strike a delicate balance between addressing technical issues and catering to the passionate fanbase eager for more content and romance in the game.
