Looking for all the latest information on the latest Baldur's Gate 3 patch notes for hotfixes and updates? Then look no further, because we'll be going through all of the various changes and upgrades in Larian's sprawling adventure title.
The studio behind the massive Dungeons and Dragons-inspired RPG is infamous for listening to their community and providing as much fan service as humanly possible.
This means updates and hotfixes come thick and fast for Baldur's Gate 3, so let's dive in and take a look at what's new.
Making Faerun fashionable again
Arguably two of the most slick-talking and fashion-forward NPCs of Baldur's Gate 3 received rather unwarranted cosmetic changes in the previous hotfix, and number eight looks to amend Larian's initial mistake.
Firstly, His Majesty the cat is now a sphynx once more, as he rightly should be. The Baldur's Gate 3 community was in an uproar when the previous hotfixes saw His Majesty with a full coat of fur, and many fans took to Twitter to express their disappointment at this particular alteration.
Another Faerun fashionista also took to the bottle black hair dye in the previous hotfixes, and people were just as riled at Raphael's darker locks as they were with His Majesty's fluffy fur coat. Larian has been quick to adjust these two icons back to their former - and rightful - glory, much to the satisfaction of the wider Baldur's Gate 3 community.
Both His Majesty's and Raphael's looks were naturally the most important part of this particular hotfix, but you can find the full patch notes for all changes below.
