What could be in patch 6?

[Nox]

So, given that patch 6 could be coming soon, what's your guess on the content?

We know photo mode and unique kissing animations for all companions that don't have them yet are eventually coming, so there's that.

Aside from that...transmog, maybe some dlc like divnity had?

[pirate135246]

im guessing we will eventually get a minor dlc that is injected throughout the game instead of being after beating it, similarly to how they did it with dos 2, since we are already overpowered at lvl12

Tbh, I prefer when each companion has their own instead of the peck. For what we have now (Astarion and Karlach) it really fits to their personality, so I don't mind lol.

I do understand that some people are probably bothered by it, since they want the game to be a game and not a dating sim :D

Would love some QoL:

1) Minimize inventory management and level of clicks to organize and sell. Sell camp inventory directly in stores. No middlemen, mule runs of 10 pieces of armor, bag tricks to satchel up a lot of loot for sale, etc.
2) Give me a food randomizer button that nails exactly 80 per meal without needing to split stacks or over-eat.
3) Develop some camp buffs that you earn in the world without cheesing some hireling buff-only characters.
4) Auto-pause on trap discovery.
5) De-couple item's abilities from how they look -- somehow. Or build out the camp inventory slots so we can explore in more detailed/customizable camp clothing. I want my bard to look like a bard and there's no way to do that with bard-helpful/ideal useful items. (I know you can mod it, but Larian would implement this so much better.)

Story (these are slightly ambitious, I admit):

1) Would love Minth's story to get beefed up a bit, give her some small quests in Acts II and III.
2) Fix Minth's 'punch her in the back of the head before you ever speak to her because you totally feel she's worth saving with no prior knowledge that you only find out you did wrong 10-20 hours later in your playthrough all for nothing' that we have today.
3) More unique interparty combo banter while exploring.
4) Give Karlach a new heart quest with Dammon (or some deity perhaps) in Act III.

Fix some annoying little things:

1) Did they fix the whole 'no helmet visible when in party, but it's back on in camp if they leave your party' thing yet?
2) More responsive mouse clicking on party members (seems laggy when Person A buffs person B and then you want to use Person B immediately to maximize your 10 turn timer without going to turn based)
3) Finish the broken/unimplemented/de-scoped things or take them out of the game. (Klarrvox and his bloody tree, I'm looking at you.)

Fix the DU slayer dice roll being based on charisma and maybe the intel/wisdom/charisma stats?
Anyone?
Voices for half orc and dwarfs that sound more "masculine"?
No one care?

They are adding new kiss animation of course....

[Metrod125]

Beards. I'd wish they fix the beards. I don't know what patch or hotfix did it but they somehow got uglier with rendering issues or weird texture mismatchs.

And maybe stamp out the "My companion isn't following me!" bug for absolute good? I still don't know what triggers it, but my Jaheira was redirected to Bench Druid due to a bug that prevented her from following the group.

Oh yes I definitely second the beard issue, some beard types go purple if you try to use highlight colours.

a better search function for inventory would be nice, besides more content.

1) In game chat for multiplayer sessions its really dumb that you can host lobbies with random players but there is no in game chat

[RhiTheWitch]

Several models have hair texture issues, across races and body types. Its one of those things where I legitimately get why people are like "it seems like they rush parts of the game" because how are half the hair styles and facial hairs clipping depending on the race/body type.... like thats literally the *first part of the game*

One of my biggest pet peeves w the game

this is speculation but i think what i keeping the game alive at this point is women and their shipping fantasys. kinda like watching a soap opera for them.

therefore larian prioritizes shipping improvements over gameplay

Dunno what you mean by "alive". It's not a live-service game, they're still updating it, but the bulk of sales have been made. Weird narrative you have there.

This doesn't apply to single-player games. BG3 is primarily single-player.

Not relevant for a single player game.
