In response to complaints from fans, Larian Studios, the developer of Baldur’s Gate 3, decided to make a change to the character of His Majesty, a cat found in the Last Light Inn. Originally, the cat had a bug that caused it to have the same appearance as another cat called Steelclaw, which was not intended. Larian released Patch 3 to fix this bug, but this new look sparked further complaints from fans. As a result, in Hotfix 8, Larian has reverted His Majesty back to his original appearance as a Sphynx cat.
However, Hotfix 8 also addresses other issues in the game, such as crash problems and the problem of party members transferring all important items to the player upon dismissal. Larian restored the behavior from Patch 2 where companions will no longer give the player all their items when dismissed. The hotfix also includes various bug fixes and improvements. Some fans were pleased with the changes, while others expressed their gratitude for the developer’s response to their feedback.
Overall, the controversy surrounding His Majesty’s appearance in Baldur’s Gate 3 led to Larian Studios making adjustments in response to fan feedback. The developer not only reverted His Majesty back to his original Sphynx look but also addressed other issues in the game, making improvements and implementing bug fixes. This shows the developer’s commitment to listening to player feedback and continuously working to enhance the gaming experience.
