It was heavily implied the patch would release on Valentines day. Then they started memeing about it. Which is fine, I'm enjoying it, but I'm hyped for this patch and want it now.

I read that the patch is gonna be fucking huge on PC

And, there was something wrong with Shield Bash?
That explains why it has literally no effect every time

Shield Bash and Polearm Mastery have been broken for like two major patches now. It is honestly pretty absurd that it hasn't been fixed until now. For some reason they never even officially acknowledged it. The forums would mock them every time there was a hotfix or patch that didn't fix it.

The real patch 6 was the friends we made along the way

It's supposed to give you an opportunity attack when an enemy comes in range, but it's bugged and gives the attack to the enemy instead.

There is at least a mod to fix the Repelling Blast bug.

All Shield Bashes except this very specfic one from a shield in Act 3 at the House of Grief do no damage. However, knocking an enemy prone does immediately end their turn which is extremely useful.

Being knocked prone also makes it easier for melee attacks to hit you, I think.

For real, though, it was amusing when they were meming on Twitter yesterday, but today it's just annoying.

Better meme that shit into a smaller file size 'cause lolno

It does, it also makes you have disadvantage on dex saves (even though that isn't an actual rule in D&D 5e).

You can also completely shut down enemy actions if you make them prone and frightened since if they have no movement, they can't get up.

Patch is live now.

"will require approximately 150GB of free space to install for those playing on PC and Steam Deck. If you find yourself without the space to install the update, we recommend uninstalling BG3 and then re-downloading the patched version."

Will my saves remain if i do that?

Your saves will be fine. They're stored in a different place than the game files. If you want to be sure, you can make sure cloud saving is enabled beforehand.

A 150gb patch

God damn

Even if they aren't in the cloud, they should be in your AppData folder. That won't get touched if you uninstall the game, you'd have to do it manually.

I'm sorry, what

The patch size is literally the size of FFVII: Rebirth. Let me say again: the patch size is literally the size of an entire AAA game.

Larian is the reason devs shouldnt be owned by huge corps

No it's not. The patch download is like 20GB. It temporarily requires 150GB of disk space because of how the patching process works.

Less impressive then, but still bonkers.
