It’s additionally revealed that it’ll repair one difficulty with Minthara, however gamers who love travelling with the luxury Drow are hoping it’ll additionally whack one other that’s a bit extra annoying.
Yep, following the arrival of patch 6 and all of its new stuff – a few of which was associated to kissing folks proper on the bonce – we’ve had a few hotfixes that’ve taken out a bunch of points that’ve cropped up. Sadly, it appears like there’s one difficulty with the marginally evil, but additionally hilarious Minthara that’s managed to fly below the radar.
“Our subsequent hotfix is present process last testing, and we’re aiming to launch it this week,” Larian’s tweeted about this upcoming replace, including “Amongst different fixes, Hotfix 20 solves a problem the place Minthara would typically cease following the get together in [acts] 2 and three.” It’s additionally referred to Minthara as “Minty”, which I’m taking as an endorsement that I can begin referring to Astarion as ‘Astaquafresh’.
Apparently, it additionally revealed in a tweet from the precise Larian studios account that that hotfix’ll be dropping a bit afterward Xbox, with the reason is “a few stability points on the platform that have been noticed after submission.”
Whereas we’ve already been informed about one Minthara bug that it’ll rectify, of us reacting to the information over on the BG3 subreddit are hoping that it’ll nip within the bud some issues along with her dialogue activating on the improper occasions. Just a few folks look to have been reporting having this difficulty occur to them since patch 6 dropped, and mainly it includes Minty randomly deciding to spoil your immersion by chatting about sure issues on the improper moments.
In line with the couple of posts in regards to the bug I’ve noticed, it mainly makes Minthara begin delivering the identical few strains in regards to the Emperor throughout events she shouldn’t.

Right here’s hoping Larian already has it on the repair checklist for this subsequent replace, given it nonetheless appears to be afflicting a whole lot of of us.
