Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 6 Will Improve More Than Just Kissing
Baldur’s Gate 3’s next update made headlines for how it will improve the game’s kissing animations, but the upcoming patch 6 will bring some other notable improvements to Larian’s RPG that should make for a better overall experience.
As Larian details in a thread on X (formerly Twitter), come Patch 6, players will no longer need to run all around their camp to dismiss and then recruit companions to their party. Instead, players will be able to dismiss a party member by speaking to the companion that will be their replacement, fixing a complaint players have long had since Baldur’s Gate 3’s launch.
Patch 6 brings more than just romance, with multiple gameplay improvements and fixes to address player-reported issues.
Here’s a teaser for what’s coming 👇

Also related to companions is a change so that automatically triggered dialogue will prioritize the player as the main speaker, as opposed to party members stepping in to steal the show. In another fix coming as part of the update, the Shield Bash and Rebuke of the Mighty abilities will now correctly trigger Saving Throws.
