Following the release of Patch 6 last week, Baldur’s Gate 3 players are sharing their favorite new quality-of-life improvements.
Baldur’s Gate 3 recently received its first major update of 2024.
Patch 6 makes a variety of fixes and overall improvements to the game, with Larian emphasizing its new kiss animations ahead of its release.
