![]() When asked about the 1.0 launch, Vincke said Larian still has “about a year left of development at this point.” The to-do list is getting checked off, but it has to meet their internal markers. We were invited to ask Larian head Swen Vincke some questions about the update ahead of today’s Panel From Hell. It feels like a big stride towards the 1.0 marker. Patch 7 also introduces new Magic Loot and improvements to a bevy of cutscenes. It’s much more streamlined and easier to read, with one of my favorite additions being a windowed inventory screen. The biggest takeaway of the update for me, though, was the total UI overhaul Larian Studios has introduced. Thrown Weapons also get an update, as do stealth and exploration. A very fitting addition for the Barbarian update. Does this mean you can beat one goblin to death with another goblin? Yes, yes it does. Improvised Weapons are also coming to Baldur’s Gate 3 in this patch, allowing characters to wield objects as deadly weapons as long as they meet the right Strength-to-weight ratio. Berserkers, meanwhile, embrace the fury and can use attacks like Frenzied Strike. The former can choose a Bestial Heart to empower them, giving them options like an eagle dive while also adding new piercings. Within Barbarian are two subclasses, Wildheart and Berserker. And while the addition of the Barbarian class might be the big-ticket item, it’s the user interface overhauls and more that have really caught my eye.īaldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7, dubbed “Absolute Frenzy,” brings the chaotic and furious Barbarian class into the roster of options. “Larian is aiming for a game that is endlessly malleable, a radiant pool of options you cannot possibly see the bottom of.”īaldur’s Gate 3 will be out sometime during the twelve months of 2023 on Steam and GOG, but not the Epic Game Store at launch.ĭisclosure: Adam Smith, formerly of this very site, has been working away on Baldur’s Gate 3 for Larian Studios.A new patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 goes live today, adding more features to the Early Access RPG. “The barbarian, to whom I have devoted hundreds of words? They may never join your party, in hundreds of hours of play,” he said. The game’s seventh patch added barbarians in February, and Jeremy Peel took them for a spin to vent his primal rage. Larian have always insisted that Baldur’s Gate 3 would be out when they think it’s good enough to be considered ready. ![]() It’s a bit daft, but neatly summarises how the game has evolved over the past two years.īaldur’s Gate 3 was almost lost among the fancy audience-pleasing D&D Direct announcements – hey, Spelljammer, Dragonlance and the D&D movie – but Larian have been very cool cucumbers throughout its open-ended early access period, so that’s not surprising. ![]() Larian have styled the release date announcement as a look back at Baldur’s Gate 3’s “journey so far” while it’s been in early access. Larian’s CEO Swen Vincke didn’t make his usual armoured appearance for the announcement, unless you count his legs poking out from behind a desk. It wouldn’t be a Dungeons & Dragons event without an update on Baldur’s Gate 3 from Larian Studios, and last night’s D&D Direct finally confirmed that the game will burst forth from the skull of its early access form in 2023.
