Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix 2 released, solves humorous ‘genital clipping’

Baldur’s Gate 3’s second major hotfix has arrived, with a blend of Larian Studios’ tongue-in-cheek humor and more substantial improvements to the role-playing game, which launched less than a week ago. Right off the bat, we’re all relieved that “Penises C and D no longer clip through some Githyanki clothing.”

Additionally, “male gnome sorcerers are no longer missing their undies.” Guess someone finally did laundry or, failing that, went to Target for a 6-pack of Fruit of the Loom. Githyanki’s characters have finally been zipped up since a Reddit user discovered and reported the bug.

Expected but Baldur’s Gate 3 may be, it seems you haven’t really arrived as a big-time role-playing game until your first hotfix to address genital clipping. Cyberpunk 277 memorably got a launch-day fix after Night City’s denizens let it all hang out.

But it does show Larian’s sense of priority. Hotfix no. The Hotfix 1 immediately fixed the dice rolling problem that caused a player to automatically fail when he clicked too fast. Larian has tackled the problem of spells, such as Minor Illusion, that could keep players stuck in an eternal loop. It also eliminated 13 more bugs and potential bugs which could have crashed the game or blocked progress.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Launched on Windows PC Aug. 4, with Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 versions to follow in the fall, perhaps 2024. It was almost instantly one of the most popular Steam games ever, topping 800,000 concurrent players on Sunday, Steam’s ninth-highest total all time.
