Baldur's Gate 3's latest hotfix stops character faces "turning into stretched eldritch horrors with pits of flesh in place of eyes"

Withers, a husk of a mummy from Baldur's Gate 3, looks disappointed at you with glowing eyes, as you have incurred his wrath.

You can always expect Baldur's Gate 3 to deliver, even when what it's delivering is as mundane as patch notes. Earlier today, Larian launched Hotfix #15 for its world-beating fantasy RPG, and the accompanying Steam announcement is gripping before we even get to the patch notes. "Have you found some characters' faces turning into stretched eldritch horrors with pits of flesh in place of eyes?" it reads. "That should not be a problem anymore."

This troubling sentence relates specifically to something Larian has dubbed "the Pinocchio issue", which sounds like a rejected title for a John Le Carre novel. Instead, it's a bug whereby character noses and cheeks "get stretched in cinematics" to the point where "they also happen to lose their eyeballs, turning the sockets into pits of flesh." Chilling.
