Baldur’s Gate 3 has received a new patch, and like several of the previous updates, this is a massive collection of small tweaks and quality-of-life changes. One of the standout features is that you can now use sponges and soaps to clean up general grime, blood splatters, and other terrible marks off of your party members, keeping them in pristine condition for their next adventure.
Other highlights include Scratch’s fetch behavior working for everything, guards no longer spotting you if you assault someone while you’re invisible–you terrible person you–and you can now customize the appearance of your fresh hires when you recruit them. On the accessibility side, a new color-blind mode has been added. This is focused on protanopia, deuteranopia, or tritanopia types of color blindness, and once enabled, it should be easier for people to distinguish factions, portrait frames, character outlines and more.
Dead avatars can be dismissed to Withers’ Wardrobe, certain quests will close more properly, and some NPCs will no longer be able to defy physics by firing at you right through solid objects and surfaces. The full patch notes can be read through this link, in case you like thousands of words about granular changes, or you can catch the most important changes below from Larian Studio’s Steam page.
