Patch Notes Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 4

- You can now customise hirelings’ appearance when recruiting them.
- Colour-blind mode: We’ve added a setting to the Accessibility tab that will allow you to choose protanopia, deuteranopia, or tritanopia. This affects the colours used to distinguish factions and relations: map and minimap icons, portrait frames, and character outlines and circles.
Gameplay

- Archfey warlocks now get a choice of cantrip at Level 4 as intended.

- When you purchase a statue from Boney in the circus, you can now choose to make it look like you in full equipment, in camp clothes, or naked.
- Scratch’s ball will now be harder to lose. If you lost his ball, go see him at camp and he might give it back. (Ball warranty voided for chasm-related accidents.)

- Added more autosaves in the Shadow-Cursed Lands and to several Wyrm’s Crossing and Lower City locations, including the Steel Watch Foundry, Iron Throne, and Rivington.
- Licking the hunk of spider meat in the Gauntlet of Shar might make you sick. You should have listened to Gale.
- You can now read the recipe for the Emperor’s favourite soup.

Combat
- Cazador suddenly remembered he can , so he’ll no longer give up the ghost if he falls into a chasm.

- Fixed some NPCs being able to shoot through floors and ceilings. They’ve said they’ll play fair.
Flow
- We’ve told Mol to be more polite and thank you if you saved Mirkon from . This will close up the quest correctly.
- Added better multiplayer support for the post-celebration night in Act I. Now all avatars can choose which companion they want to get jiggy with.
- Lae’zel was having trouble getting over Act I and Act II. She’ll no longer make certain comments in Act III as though you’re still in the earlier stages of your adventure.
