Summary
Baldur’s Gate 3’sPatch 5 is coming, and it is slated to include many updates, including lag fixes, new kisses for romanced party members, and more. On November 29, developer Larian Studios surprisedBaldur’s Gate 3fans by announcing that the patch would also feature “Withers' Epilogue Party Extravaganza,” and hinted that players should “dress to impress” and “bring friends.” There are so many directions Larian could go with this unexpected epilogue party, but there are some things it should definitely include.
Extra Scenes For BG3 Companions With Unsatisfying Endings
Any epilogue toBaldur’s Gate 3would be incomplete without more information about what the companions have been up to after the events of the game. While every one of the game’s ten companions deserves an extended epilogue, fans are worried about two in particular:Karlach, who is forced to flee to Avernus due to her overheating infernal engine, and Astarion, who loses the ability to walk in the sun. Hopefully, the epilogue party will show these two flourishing, having overcome their difficulties and being able to joyfully celebrate with their friends.
New Moments For Romanced BG3 Companions
Baldur’s Gate 3’sromances have become one of its most iconic elements, and players are eager to spend more quality time with their love interest of choice. Larian has previously indicated thatBaldur’s Gate 3Patch 5will include new kiss animations and possibly the ability to hug companions, but the epilogue party would be a perfect opportunity for more sweet romantic moments.
A Romantic Slow Dance
Everyone loves to dance, and nothing would be more romantic than players dancing with their partner. Currently,Wyllcan be danced with during his romance path, but a party could include slow dances with other romanced companions. Perhaps Wyll could even teach the group a new dance and show off his signature smooth moves.
Giving Presents To Partners
Should players choose to romance the clericShadowheart, they can earn her approval by gifting her a night orchid, her favorite flower. A celebration party would be a good opportunity for players to give gifts to every character. Some options could include a teddy bear for Karlach, something duck-themed for Halsin, or perfume for Astarion.
Non-Party Members From BG3 Should Be Invited Too
Of course, the entire party (sans any characters who didn’t survive a playthrough) will likely be invited toWithers' celebration. However, the festivities should not be limited to just them.Baldur’s Gate 3features many memorable NPCs who are encountered throughout the players' journey, many of whom can even become allies in the game’s final battle.
There are many characters who fans would love to see at the party. Adorable coupleDame Aylin and Isobelcould use the festivities to spend some quality time together after so long apart. Alfira the tiefling bard could perform a new song. Dammon the smith could get new scenes with Karlach, especially if he is responsible for ultimately fixing her engine. The tiefling refugees, the Emerald Grove druids, the staff of the Circus of the Last Days, Jaheira’s Harpers, and many others would all make for extremely fun party guests.
Many Other Fun Surprises
There are countless things that Larian Studios could potentially include in an epilogue party forBaldur’s Gate 3.Just a few could be:
Regardless of what Larian chooses to include, it definitely seems likeBaldur’s Gate 3players are in for a fun time when Patch 5 arrives and brings “Withers' Epilogue Party Extravaganza” with it.
