Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players devastated Alfira is \u201cone-night kinda thing\u201d in Patch 7 Larian Studios\/DexertoIn the final patch notes for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, Larian Studios confirmed Alfira\u2019s fate as a \u201cone-night kinda thing\u201d \u2013 and players are not happy about it. Back in July, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans buzzed with excitement over a Community Update hinting at a \u201ccertain bard\u201d joining the player\u2019s party temporarily. Though the update was vague, most players speculated that this referred to Alfira, the popular Tiefling bard NPC met in Act 1. Fast forward to September\u2019s Patch 7, and Larian\u2019s final update for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has delivered on its promise. But while the patch introduced a toothless Gale and a selection of grim endings, it crushed hopes for Alfira as a permanent party member. Patch notes clarified: \u201cWe remember stating\u2026a certain bard would now be able to join the party as a controllable character at camp if there\u2019s an empty slot, TEMPORARILY.\u201d This means Alfira will only stick around for one night. They closed off this note with a playful message that made it painfully clear: \u201cThere are no new companions. There is only death.\u201d The backlash was swift and stinging. On Reddit, players voiced their devastation. One user noted, \u201cThinking about this implementation, if it was my first time playing and I could even control Alfira in camp, I would have really believed she was joining my party. It would have stung even more the next day.\u201d Another added, \u201cThose evil bastards at Larian love twisting the knife.\u201d Optimists among the players clung to hope, with one saying, \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I\u2019m sure someone will find a way to break the game to keep her.\u201d Another said they hoped that the modders would fix it. Patch 7 also adds a modding toolkit for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, so we might still see Alfira join the party full-time \u2013 official or not. As Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 wraps up its patching saga, we bid farewell to quirky patch notes letting us know a new Show Cinematic Nudity toggle can keep our playthroughs \u201cvery demure, very mindful.\u201d With Larian shifting focus to new projects far from Faerun, players will cherish the memories \u2013 and the mods \u2013 that keep the spirit of Alfira alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
