Moving on to character development, every class in Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting a shiny new subclass option as they advance. Take the College of Glamour for Bards, for example—it opens up new possibilities for healing allies and charming foes. Meanwhile, the Monk’s Drunken Master subclass takes a refreshingly unique approach, allowing you to use alcohol from your stash to enhance your fighting prowess.
Curious about all the subclass options linked to their original classes? There’s a comprehensive list coming your way, and it’s sure to spark your imagination and strategy.
As for updates, Larian Studios, the creative mind behind Baldur’s Gate 3, is a bit tight-lipped on when Patch 8 will officially drop. But fear not—eager adventurers can sneak a peek at these forthcoming goodies by participating in a stress test that’s penciled in for early January. Details on how to join are expected soon, so stay tuned.
Even though Larian Studios has been open about its future plans—confirming that Baldur’s Gate 4 or any downloadable content for Baldur’s Gate 3 aren’t on the horizon—they’re clearly gearing up to end 2023 with a flourish, cementing the game as a deserving contender for Game of the Year.
