Baldur's Gate 3 patch 7 is out and holy kapowzers it's a whopper, featuring *deep breath* bug fixes and gameplay tweaks and new and improved evil and Dark Urge endings and a built-in mod manager and toolkit. But with great power comes great responsibility or something like that, and so Larian is also ensuring that players who don't want to upgrade to the new patch don't have to.
Why wouldn't you want to update to the latest and greatest take on Baldur's Gate 3, you wonder? There are a few possible reasons, foremost among them being mods. Big patches can be big trouble for mods in games—Fallout 4's big "next gen" update earlier this year caused all sorts of headaches on that front—and Baldur's Gate 3 is no exception: Patch 6, released in February, was "a smidge on fire" when it went live (and not in the good way) and a subsequent hotfix ended up breaking a whole mess of mods.
