Fans have highly anticipated patch 6 for Baldur\u2019s Gate after Larian Studios gave countless teasers for the upcoming new affection animations. Which includes new kissing cutscenes for Shadowheart and Astarion. The community joined forces to collectively bring about a patch release on Valentine\u2019s Day through their shared manifestation efforts. However, Larian had other plans and instead decided to troll the community with hilarious Pengu gifs before releasing the patch on February 16. Now that the patch has been released, players are overjoyed that they can hug Shadowheart during an emotional moment in the game\u2019s final Act. The following context does include spoilers for the game\u2019s ending. Baldur\u2019s Gate player can comfort Shadowheart with a hug In Act 3, there are two options for the fate of Shadowheart\u2019s parents. Players can either opt to save them or potentially let them perish. Either choice will result in Shadowheart crying in a cutscene. Before the release of patch 6, the player had no option other than to stand there awkwardly and let Shadowheart deal with her emotional turmoil. However, now players have the option to comfort her with a hug. Something that makes sense, especially if the player has a romantic relationship with her. \u201cYes!\u201d exclaimed one player. \u201cOne of the worst moments in the game was just having to stand there watching her cry.\u201d Others within the community were also stoked to hear the news about Shadowheart. However, some took the opportunity to suggest another character that could use a hug after a traumatic moment. \u201cJust want to do this for Astarion when he kills Cazador and starts crying,\u201d said another commenter. \u201cI just wanna hug him.\u201d Larian Studios have taken notice of the player\u2019s desire to interact more with their romantic partners in the game. This means that further updates to other relationships could be added in future patches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 update lets players give Shadowheart the love she deserves DeviantArt: pumazhBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players can finally hug Shadowheart while she\u2019s crying in Act 3 after the release of Patch 6.
