Baldur’s Gate 3’sfifth patch will be out “soon”, but Larian Studios is already issuing warnings for our poor, worn, and tattered storage. Best clear some space, gamers. It’s a massive 30GB update, meaning you’ll need around 130GB of free space to install it.
If you find yourself without the space to install the update, we recommend uninstalling Baldur’s Gate 3 and then re-downloading the patched version.
It’s abeefypatch, but we still don’t know everything that will be included in those 30 gigabytes. So far, Larian has confirmed thatit will fix some major lag issues and Astarion’s kisses, and it hasteased an extended epiloguewith an invite from Withers. The ending right now is shockingly fast - you beat the game, say goodbye, and off you pop. It looks like that’s about to change, with all of our (living) friends invited. Does that exclude Astarion? I guess we’ll find out “soon”.
It’s more than likely at this point that a big chunk of the update, hence its size, is thanks to this teased epilogue. However, what exactly it will look like isn’t clear. Last month,fans were asking Larian for one more party before the game endsto let them say goodbye to all of their favourites with final romance scenes to get closure before risking it all against the Absolute and plunging into the unknown. It might be that we see something similar to this ideaafterthe game ends, instead.
Others are hoping for NG+, fixed Shadowheart kissing angles, more Minthara content, an extended Karlach quest, and all the other wishlist items we’ve seen since the game launched in August. Who knows what’s in there? Until Larian reveals the details, we can only speculate, but don’t get your hopes up too much. I knowa lot of you want to be crushed by Minthara, but crushed dreams… Let’s avoid that, eh?
Larian said that the update will go live this week, and now we know that it’s coming “soon”. The wait shouldn’t be too long then. In the meantime, go smooch Astarion or whoever at your camp before you have to switch off and wait for the patch to finish downloading.
