Larian has released a brand new Baldur's Gate 3 update, and while it's not a massive one, it does contain some rather amusing fixes that should make your gameplay experience a little smoother.

This latest update is along the same lines as the hotfix released back in late February in terms of scope, rather then bigger and more seismic updates like last month's massive Patch 6.

First up, if you've been experiencing an embarrassing issue wherein dialogues suddenly stop when you're about to kiss your partner (we've all been there, right?), this hotfix should put paid to that.

Minthara should no longer speak her mind about Gale quite so repetitively.

In addition, while hearing what Minthara thinks about Gale in Act 3 is nice, hearing those same thoughts over and over again isn't, and so she should no longer repeat this dialogue constantly.

Other fixes issues include a Moonrise Towers combat bug, a Dark Urge bug involving a romance with Minthara, and a bug in which players got perpetually stuck in a dangerous area in Emerald Grove.

If you're playing Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox, you'll also be glad to know that Hotfixes 20 and 21 have been applied to your game with this update, so you shouldn't experience any problems with the cross-save feature anymore.

You can read the full Baldur's Gate 3 patch notes for the latest hotfix right here via Steam. Don't worry; the patch notes are pretty brief.

Baldur's Gate 3 is the third mainline installment in the long-running Baldur's Gate series of CRPGs. Developed by Divinity: Original Sin 2 studio Larian, the game has proven a runaway success, reaching over 10 million players and winning Game of the Year at this year's D.I.C.E. Awards.

You can grab Baldur's Gate 3 right now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. If you want to know whether it's worth your time, you can check out our review of the game here.
