Baldur's Gate 3 spoils Karlach and Halsin fans with new kiss animations and leaves Astarion devotees in the friend zone
Astarion is a little shy

The latest 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 patch has changed Kar🔥lach and Halsin's kiss animations for the better - but left Astarion fans demanding more.
In the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 patch 4, which went live on November 2, developer Larian made a few changes to the RPG. One of the most noticeable changes saw improvements to "the appearance of Karlach's kiss," as w🌺ell as fixes to "some kissing animations for large female humans and female dragonborns." It didn't take long for fans to investigate these changes themselves, with several asking Karlach for a smooch soon after the patch was released.
, along with a clip of them locking lips with the companion. "Whoever animated the new Karlach kiss… You need to buy me more memory because I can't stop screenshotting," another fan .OH MY GOD THE NEW KARLA🅺CH KISSING ANIMATION IM GOING TO HAVE A FUCKING STROKE LAKS⭕DJALKSJDKLASJD pic.twitter.com/KTc0sm9nND
Similarly, fans have pointed out how much smoother Halsin's kissing scenes are. "Halsin has a new 'casual' kissing animation too, it matches the vibe of his romance well I think," one Baldur's Gate 3 🔯player shared, along with a clip that proves it. "Short Kings & Queens stay winning with Halsin with #BG3 Patch 🌱4," another has also , along with a clip from their playthrough, which features the NPC crouching down to kiss a short Tav.

Unfortunately, Astarion fans hav♓e been left feeling pretty unloved by their favorite companion, as his kissing animations haven't received the same treatment. Instead of feeling like a grand romantic gesture, Astarion's new kiss is simply a peck on the lips. As one fan has , maybe "Larian didn't have any budget left after animating Halsin's new kiss that all Astarion gets is a tiny boop"? Another Astarion fan has been friend-zoned completely after asking the companion for a kiss and the game skipping over the kiss animation completely. That must have hurt.

Elsewhere in the new patch, Larian has added the ability for Baldur's Gate 3 players to give themselves, and their party members, a nice sponge bath. How stinky must the whole team have been if this has only൩ been implemented now🌃?

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd K൩orean 🦋drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
