In a recent update for the popular RPG game Baldur’s Gate 3, developer Larian Studios made a change to the character known as His Majesty. His Majesty, originally a wrinkled Sphynx cat, was transformed into a Maine Coon in a previous patch, which upset many fans. However, in response to the outcry, Larian issued a hotfix that reverts His Majesty to his original naked and ugly form. In addition to this change, the update also includes various other small improvements and fixes for the game.
Previously, fans had expressed their love for His Majesty’s angry and disapproving personality, calling him the perfect character. In the game, His Majesty scolds players who use the Speak With Animals ability and encourages them to stay away from him. The decision to transform His Majesty was made to differentiate him from another hairless cat NPC named Steelclaw. However, with the latest hotfix, His Majesty has returned to his original appearance, while Steelclaw’s eye color has been altered to distinguish them as separate characters.
Aside from the character changes, the update also addresses several gameplay issues. Players will no longer have dismissed companions transfer story items in their inventory, and they will not be able to eavesdrop during character creation or level up screens. The hotfix also resolves crashes and other bugs related to multiplayer, character re-assignments in split-screen mode, and visual effects for female Githyanki characters.
Overall, the latest Baldur’s Gate 3 update brings back the beloved character His Majesty in his original form and introduces various fixes and improvements to enhance the gaming experience. Fans can now enjoy the game with the restored naked and ugly version of His Majesty, and also benefit from the other changes made in the update.
