The latest hotfix for Baldur’s Gate 3 has brought a sigh of relief to the gaming community, particularly for those playing as dwarven characters. Larian Studios has addressed a quirky bug that had dwarven Barbarians strutting around in what was humorously referred to as ‘big blueberries’ instead of regular footwear. Additionally, the update has quenched the flames of spontaneous combustion incidents, making for a smoother and less fiery adventure across the Forgotten Realms.
Dwarven Character Fixes
Players of Baldur’s Gate 3 who chose to role-play as dwarven Barbarians encountered a rather amusing bug that replaced their standard footwear with what the developers described as “big blueberries.” This texture bug gave the stout warriors a pair of bright blue clogs, inadvertently adding a touch of whimsy to their otherwise rugged appearance. The latest hotfix has addressed this issue, restoring the dwarves’ shoes to their intended design.
