New Honour Mode and Custom Mode difficulty settings? Okay. Finally able to get Orin’s cool-looking armor? Yawn. It’s now easier to recruit Minthara? Tell me something I care about. Larian Studios just released Patch 5 for Baldur’s Gate 3, and sure, it comes with all these awesome new improvements and additions, but you know what the biggest feature is? Being able to kiss your romantic interest of choice.
Prior to Patch 5, the kissing scenes between the player character and the Baldur’s Gate 3 party members were mediocre at best. Some scenes don’t even show the characters’ lips touching, and it’s pretty immersion-breaking, to say the least. With the release of Patch 5, however, it’s clear that Larian knows what’s important to the fans, and they have delivered.
