Baldur’s Gate 3's massive Patch #4 adds hireling NPC customization and options for the color-blind

Another major highlight of Baldur's Gate 3's Patch #4 is the addition of graphics settings to aid color-blind players. Larian Studios included options in the Accessibility tab of the BG3 UI to choose activating either protanopia, deuteranopia, or tritanopia. These add slight alterations to the visuals of characters, backgrounds, markers, frames, and portraits.

Although these provide little benefit to players with normal vision, Baldur's Gate 3 players with color-blindness will have an easier time distinguishing visual details. This is particularly important with the visual cues that identify player characters and ally NPCs over hostile NPCs and monsters.

Other key gameplay changes included in Baldur's Gate 3 Patch #4 are map markers to identify characters that want to talk to the player, map icons for the Magic Mirror and Withers' Wardrobe, autosaves in important locations (Shadow-Cursed Lands, Lower City, Iron Throne, etc.), upgrading AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution to Version 2.2 (for players who like to upscale the visual quality, and soaps and sponges to wash your party with a proper bath.

Note that there are bug fixes and updates applicable only to the specific version of the game (i.e. Windows PC, macOS, and Sony Playstation 5). You can find all the detailed notes of Baldur's Gate 3 Patch #4 at the Steam Community Page or the official website of the game at this link.

As Baldur's Gate 3 enters the third month of its critical and sales success, what other fixes and updates are you looking forward to? Should Larian Studios focus on an expansion that adds more Dungeons & Dragons options such as more character classes and epic-level content?
