As we’ve known for a while now, Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 is a huge update for the RPG. In addition to introducing the aforementioned official mod editor, Larian Studios also added new (evil) endings to the plot. As well as the possibility to (temporarily) include the bard of the game in the party. Of course, all this is accompanied by more than 1000 refinements to polish the fantasy experience to the maximum.

What awaits us in the future? While Larian Studios is already working on new projects, patch 7 is not the last update for BG3. Moreover, the creators know that RPG fans are asking for Photo Mode to capture their favourite moments. This will come at a later date, along with other new features.
