Larian Studios, the developers of cRPG Baldur’s Gate 3, have taken to Steam to reveal that the latest hotfix #17 is now live. The patch fixes a variety of bugs, including unavailability of Lae’zel romance regardless of players’ reputation rating.
The recent major Patch 6: Forging the Arcane added a variety of changes to the game, including a new Sorcerer class, Grymforge area, graphical enhancements and much more. The developers have revealed that Patch 6 saw the game’s highest concurrent player numbers since the launch.
“In our previous patch, it turns out Lae’zel wasn’t romanceable regardless of her approval rating. There’s probably a life lesson in that. But this isn’t ‘Larian’s Dating Advice Column’ – although we feel like given the nature of some of your fan art, a dating simulator with our most popular characters wouldn’t go amiss. Or at least a tapestry. Anyone know any good tapestry makers?”
