Baldur's Gate 3 Patch Update Fixes Issues With Lae'zel & Nightsong

Though might not be set to receive additional content in the future, developer Larian Studios has continued to fix many of the game's most pressing glitches and bugs — including those relating to persistent issues with major characters like Lae'zel and Nightsong — with continuous updates, patches, and hotfixes. Despite being one of the biggest games released in 2023, and a winner of many game of the year awards, has also been notoriously riddled with bugs since its release, as is usually the case with most large scale RPGs (and especially systems-heavy CRPGs).

Notably, the patch also fixes several obscure crashes, some UI exploits for trading with NPCs, and other gameplay issues.

Following the previous announcement from Larian that Baldur's Gate 3 won't get a sequel or even additional DLC from the studio, fans can at least be reassured that the game will continue to receive support in the form of smaller patches.

Currently, it's unknown what future patches for the game will include (aside from more bug fixes), butit's likely that the biggest additions to the game are behind it — future major updates, for example, probably won't add content as big as the post-game epilogue that received with Patch #5. Instead, players can expect any major future patches to be more similar to
