Patch 8 for Baldur's Gate 3 signalled the arrival of a day we've all been dreading: the day when we finally have to accept that Larian is moving its attention to its next major project. But while we won't be getting any more major BG3 additions, we can still expect hotfixes to address any outstanding issues like one that dropped earlier today. And where there's a BG3 hotfix, there's the timeless joy of bizarre Larian patch notes.
Unsurprisingly, today's hotfix is focused on smoothing out some post-patch wrinkles. There's a series of gameplay and scripting fixes to address fringe weirdness with items, abilities, and NPC interactions: Clerics will no longer lose their War Priest attack if they move before using it, for instance, and the Tavern Brawler feat won't add a damage bonus when using the new Giant barbarian's Elemental Cleaver ability in Honour Mode, presumably because barbarians are good enough at throwing junk without double dipping.
