Astarion fans disappointed as Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Patch 4 adds new romance bugs Larian StudiosThe latest Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 patch makes some changes to the game\u2019s romances, and while Karlach and Halsin fans are celebrating, Astarion seems to be hit particularly hard by new bugs. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 just got a huge new patch on November 2 that makes some big changes to the game\u2019s romances. Patch 4 makes some big changes, such as locking Lae\u2019zel\u2019s sex scene behind more than just high approval \u2013 a change that\u2019s sure to impact the Sex% speedrunning community. On top of that, there are some improvements, like changes to kiss animations for Karlach and Halsin. However, the update introduces some new bugs that seem to have hit Astarion and his romance arc pretty hard. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Patch 4 has Karlach and Halsin fans celebrating as Astarion lovers lament bugs While Karlach and Halsin romancers are thrilled by Patch 4\u2019s new and improved kissing animations, Astarion fans are reporting new frustration following the update. Players have reported bugs that cause his kiss not to play, as well as dialogue and animation issues. In fairness to Larian, this player\u2019s issue may have been caused by mods. But even those who are able to trigger Astarion\u2019s kiss animation after Patch 4 are expressing disappointment. As one player said, \u201cIt truly seems like with every kiss he\u2019s about to break up with you and hates it, which for someone kissing him after his quest and after we admit our love for each other\u2026. feels like such a bummer.\u201d Astarion lovers are not alone, as Shadowheart fans are also reporting issues after the patch. Plus, Gale has been pretty buggy for a while, with new patches seeming to introduce more issues for the Wizard of Waterdeep. Fortunately, there is some good news. Dataminers have reportedly found that all romances were supposed to get improved kisses, plus a possible new hug option. It looks like Larian does intend to improve all companion relationships \u2013 romantic or platonic \u2013 so hopefully that will be sorted out with future patches and hotfixes.
