With the new patch for ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’, convenience has been greatly improved in terms of companion and inventory management.
Larian Studio released version 6 patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 on the 16th. The patch included the addition of a Valentine’s Day lover and kissing animation, significant improvements to camp convenience features, the addition of honor difficulty boss abilities, and the removal of bugs.
This patch particularly focuses on improving convenience. First of all, hiring colleagues has become much easier. Previously, you had to send one of your companions to camp, then approach the desired companion and talk to them. Now, when you go to the colleague you want to hire and talk to them, a function has been added to select the colleague you want to send to camp.

In addition, several functions were added. First of all, the travel chest (camp storage) has been added to the companion inventory menu at the campsite, allowing you to manage all equipment at once. Additionally, when trading in a store, all companion inventory is printed at once, eliminating the need to trade between characters.
In addition, some companion animations have been added that are small but increase immersion in the game. The somewhat monotonous lovers and kissing animations are increased to three. Additionally, rest animations have been added for fellow campmates such as Raizel, Mintara, Jaheira, and Shadowheart. Raizel analyzes the Githyanki disk while Shadowheart repairs his weapon.

New elements related to combat and difficult bosses were also added. Some bosses on Honor and Tactician difficulty have new legendary action abilities. On Tactician or higher difficulty, Chapter 1 Hobgoblin boss Droll Razglin’s wide-area aura now applies a debuff to enemies. Likewise, Dryer Karnis, who appears in Chapter 2, uses a new debuff aura called ‘Spinning Net Sanctuary’.
Meanwhile, Baldur’s Gate 3 won the Game of the Year award at the 2024 DICE Awards on the 16th. In addition, it received awards for Outstanding Achievement in Story, Role-Playing Game of the Year, Outstanding Achievement in Game Design, and Outstanding Achievement in Game Planning.
