Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players celebrate fan-favorite Bing Bong becoming canon in Patch 5 Larian StudiosAn observant Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player spotted a reference to Bing Bong from the D&D stream featuring members of the game\u2019s cast, and fans are thrilled the imp is finally canon. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2018s latest update is its biggest yet in terms of new content for players to enjoy. While previous patches have refined the story and gameplay, Patch 5 adds new epilogues, Minthara changes, and more. It also makes some fan-requested changes like allowing players to access and manage the inventories of companions who aren\u2019t in the party and \u2013 perhaps most importantly \u2013 finally makes a fan-favorite character from the cast\u2019s Dungeons & Dragons stream canon. Bing Bong from the voice actor D&D session is finally canon in Patch 5 Back in September, several of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s voice actors took part in a Dungeons & Dragons stream aired on High Rollers\u2019 Twitch and YouTube channels in which they played their characters from the video game. During it, High Rollers\u2019 Mark Hulmes led the party through an adventure during which the party met an adorable imp in a bowtie named Bing Bong. The little guy proved divisive, with Shadowheart (Jennifer English) loving him and Lae\u2019zel (Devora Wilde) hating him. Ultimately, Bing Bong died when Lae\u2019zel set him on fire to use as a weapon. Since the stream, fans have been begging Larian to make Bing Bong canon. Some even went so far as to mod him into the game as a summon. Now, it\u2019s become clear that Larian heard those calls, as a new line of dialogue spotted by Reddit user wew_lad- confirms the party met Bing Bong at some point during their journey. Shadowheart now has a line in which she mentions \u201cthat stray imp that joined us \u2013 Bing Bong, wasn\u2019t it?\u201d It\u2019s not clear when or under what circumstances this line of dialogue takes place, or if any other companions reference the stream or Bing Bong. It is fitting that, at the very least, Shadowheart talks about him considering how much English loved him. Mark Hulmes, Bing Bong\u2019s creator, has also seemingly addressed the addition in a vague tweet. Fans are similarly thrilled by the game now acknowledging Bing Bong, with many thanking Larian and calling them \u201cgod tier\u201d for listening to the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community. \u201cYou just can\u2019t help but love Larian and how much attention they\u2019re paying to the community,\u201d said one fan. \u201cThis is Citadel DLC levels of fan service and I\u2019m not even mad, well played Larian,\u201d said another commenter, referencing Mass Effect 3\u2019s beloved final DLC pack. Although the poor imp met an unfortunate fate in the livestream, it seems pretty safe to say that, following Patch 5, there has finally been justice for Bing Bong.
