Baldur’s Gate Patch #3 Now Live – Appearance Change, Mac Support, and Fixes

As Larian announced yesterday, Patch #3 launched today for Baldur’s Gate 3, bringing with it many fixes as well as Mac Support and a way to finally change your custom character’s appearance.

Like Patch #1 and Patch #2, Patch #3 includes a massive host of changes. Here are some of the highlights:

• Full support for Mac. As with the PC release, saves made in the Early Access versions of the game will not be compatible with the release version. Larian recommends uninstalling the game completely before installing the latest version. System specs can be found on the Steam store page.
• Changing your custom character’s appearance is now possible with the Magic Mirror found in your camp. This doesn’t work for Origin characters, hirelings, and Illithids. You still can’t change your race, subrace, or body type, and you can’t alter the effects of game decisions such as a missing eye. You can change all other aspects of your appearance as well as your voice and pronouns.
• You can now choose to automatically listen when another player enters dialogue in multiplayer. This option is available in Default Online Settings.
• All characters in your party who can be leveled up will now be queued when you enter the level up screen, so you can more efficiently level them one after the other.

These are just a small number of a very long list of changes and fixes, which you can read in their entirety below.
