Baldur's Gate 3 - 12 New Subclasses On The Way In Patch 8

[@Aliens1337]

The year is 2035. Larian has announced patch 40 will be BG3's final patch, but we all know they will be back in 6 months with another patch.

[@heartfullofpink6605]

Terraria's final update(s) also dropped twice during that year.

[@nathanbarnhart7823]

Nah they about to give us a new game in about 3 more years 😊

[@anangrygreenboss6353]

Hasbro: we are getting some very mixed messages from you guys

[@tutes0133]

Larian. The gift that keeps on giving. Utter insanity and I adore them for it.

[@TechnoLawyer]

They’re like the opposite of herpes.

[@Grogeous_Maximus]

They're bringing the other AAA companies to shame

[@phizmeister]

@@Grogeous_Maximus With a game without actual gameplay? No, playing chess is not gameplay. Don't make me laugh.

[@Echolaliaxu]

@@phizmeister Playing chess is, in fact, gameplay. Your personal level of enjoyment from it is absolutely irrelevant.

[@robertfarrow3218]

​@@phizmeisterYou are saying one of the oldest most widely known games there has ever been doesn't have gameplay, weird.

[@Duckman8213]

And remember everybody that every single post launch update for this game has been FREE. 😢 I’m crying from happiness!

[@legitdragon6202]

Other companies - "Get used to not owning your subclasses"

[@Duckman8213]

@ Bethesda would charge $20-$30 per subclass.

[@atharvadeshpande4749]

@@Duckman8213 Oh yeah, every single subclass would be a creation club update.

[@tmack11]

A reminder?l it just happened

[@dr6770]

AND, the game is doing even better than ever, even 2 years after launch. Goes to show what can happen when you treat the players, the ones who actually pay for the product, with respect instead of catering to greedy share holders and higher ups who just want money. I can only imagine next year the player base will be going strong once patch 8 is out and when they have more mods. Meanwhile, all these games with additional paid DLC that should have been in the base game and MXT usually die after a few months past release haha.

[@treichfra8428]

Larian: no dlc Larian: here’s another (dlc-sized) “update” ❤

[@degreeskelvin3025]

After their Divinity Original Sin games, i cant say im surprised to be honest. Theyve had this insane player first standard that AAA studios could never live up to. I remember Obsidian Studios did this too with POE2

[@swagmomite7177]

they are infamous for their third acts being half baked

[@degreeskelvin3025]

@swagmomite7177 that too lol. Still way better than what most of the bigger studios have been putting out in the past decade

so excited for bladesinging wizard, Gale finally has a spot in my party lineup!!!

[@rodneystrangerfield412]

All classes in the update can be played now - they are all established and well made mods by modders - have had the shadow sorcerer, example, for over a year.

[@kevinpalmer9942]

@@rodneystrangerfield412yep! There are great mods for all of these classes I believe. Most of them are even in the in game mod manager now.

[@DarckaX]

Didnt expect them to introduce hexblade since they modified pact of the blade to act as the hexblade subclass. Im happy though, my first dnd character was a hexblade tiefling

[@cabrelbeuk72]

This would have been a 30$ DLC nobody would have been shocked. It's a free update. Thanks, Larian. We love you.

[@Mystra]

Baldur's Gate 3 is the gift that keeps giving honestly!

[@trishamiller7859]

Larian and Swen have earned my patronage for life.

[@LilFeralGangrel]

I've seen people who are disappointed with Hexblade, and I dunno, I'm glad for it. And Larian will be expanding the modding tools more so chances are the other subclasses can be added later. I do wish Monk of the Astral Self was added instead of the Drunken Master, hopefully someone will add the JoJo subclass later on.

[@braindeadhoovy2562]

ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA

[@FBWL-u1r]

One of my favorite irl D&D characters I've made so far is a multiclass rogue Arcane Trickster / Wizard Bladesinger for a short campaign a friend of mine has written. I'm really excited that I'll be able to create her in BG3 and do a playthrough with her 🤩

[@dr_ubo]

Good morning everyone, just passing by expressing gratitude to Mort for his outstanding work ethic and Larian for defying each and every standard AAAs have set in the last decade. Have your KZbin jazz 🎶 and may you all wander in wisdom.

[@PleasantSkulman]

Just as I started another run. Oh well, guess I'll have to play again next year. What a shame... /s

[@suzanner8360]

lol me too. My first time multi-classing, and using mods for any game.

[@GuoJing2017]

​@@suzanner8360I already did two huge 70 hour runs, one normal and one honour mode and I think I only have like half the achievements 😅, need to do a few play more throughs I think, I'll wait for this to do cross play

[@pancakes4193]

Already sat for your build videos regarding these new subclasses!

[@Im-No-body]

i wanted hexblade at launch so will be happy to have in the game officially without mods

[@SerPodrick]

Just when i thought i was out, they pull me back in

[@Deathisi]

Man, I love that they're providing such good updates!

[@tartarianking1232]

Cant wait to finally play this game one day. I played chapter 1 at a friends place, it was phenomenal

[@Llainway]

[@PapiDooke]

Patch 8 bg3, patch 1.3 RT, just bought WOTR; good day to be alive

[@Llortnerof]

With WotR also just having gotten a sizable patch, at that.

[@skeletonmandiecastcollector]

With these awesome mods on console, I tried turning my team into an 1980s style fantasy role playing game when it comes to their looks with hair and makeup. The look on Atarion is hilarious 😂 lol. I wish I could share clips but my KZbin channel content is mostly about diecast.

[@Urapuppy]

Damnit Larian! If you keep adding new content, I have to restart the game to experience everything all over again!

[@zombieminecraft4213]

I think someone pointed out that these have been popular mods for the game but it's nice to be able to achievement hunt with fun classes. Thinking about duergar giant barbarian for huge size. Assuming the racial spell stacks.

[@anatoro6825]

I think(or hope), that they will not just copy and paste mods into the game, but will give them enough of care and homebrew as was in other cases. More likely popularity of mods was trigger for larian to implement these particular subclasses into the game.

[@Dracobyte]

Thanks a lot for the info about this FREE update!

[@Grogeous_Maximus]

Free, while other companies would have chopped these 8 patches into 16 DLC lol

[@BarlowNaars]

I'm getting the feeling that the new subclasses will in most cases be the strongest of them all, no question... If they are implemented according to how Mort described.

[@GuoJing2017]

I'm not sure, in my honour mode run the fire sorcerer and sword bard were so powerful I felt I could've finished the game with just them two, if they make stuff more powerful than this then they need a harder difficulty option 😂

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Baldur's Gate 3 is the gift that keeps giving. I just wish the physical editions were more easily available.

[@phil_______]

Wow that's exciting! I'll have to give this game another go.

[@coldsun1187]

Hah! Funny that you and I share the exact same class to be excited about. Hexblade. I played one in our last campaign that my son ran for us.

[@anthonylittle666]

[@erikcarlson6374]

I've been dragging my feet on actually getting deep into the game because I want to play it at it's most complete. If this is actually the final update it might be time, but I feel like they've said this before. Can't get mad at free stuff though! Hope your family had a good holiday!

[@Ty6erTy6erBurningBright]

Im so excited for this because I have a dnd character who is a way of mercy monk and he might start multiclassing into death domain cleric and this will help me create him in BDG3 and figure out how to make him actually powerful lolll

[@elwinkline6387]

Hexblade Warlock, Death Cleric, Swarm Ranger, and Throwing Barb all sound fun. Might be time to finally attempt my Honor Mode run after this drops.

[@takkik282]

Bladesinger... finaly, I can start playing this game! Hope they add green flame blade & booming blade for all gish builds!

[@Zero_Zone.]

Really looking forward to these new subclasses.

[@clifcorcoran9917]

Subclass KZbin Jazz 🎶

[@t.t6294]

the drunken master monk in BG3 is going to be homebrew. so it'll probably be different from 5e's rules. aside from that I really hope we get conjure animals in patch 8

[@damienrichards9743]

Should have also added Artificer Class along with these. I'll take what I can get though. Much love and respect.

[@SageofStars]

Ah, more Bard power to play with. Not a subclass I play normally, and it will have to try had to outdo a College of Swords with Twin Hand Crossbows(Which, interestingly, WAS my weapons of choice in the actual table top in high school). Seriously, hitting the same target, four times, with one attack action, then buffing the damage of each hit, by just being awesome, is an amazing ability.

[@markmatthews9102]

Awesome stuf. Larian rocks.

[@Arcling]

It was a really nice surprise. Just when everyone thought they were done with adding any new content to the game! I'm curious if there is any new reactivity for some of these subclasses. At least Oath of the Crown for paladins has some new rules.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

The lack of a Shepard druid is disappointing but that is what mods are for. I will get my unstoppable raptor swarm sooner or later.

[@benross9174]

It is nice that every single druid plays completely differerent. Obviously all can’t be included but I think they did a good job with the 4 chosen

My only worry is Larian's next game expectation will be so high that it'll nearly never ever be met.

[@Seedmember]

It is insane that this content is free. It is also very sad as it shows the state of the industry. And if anyone says that these subclasses are based on mods, there are companies like Paradox that repack mods and sell them as DLCs, so it's still kudos to Larian for their stance.

Tbh instead of all of those patches they should deliver dlc at this point. I know they said "production of bg3 make them worn out" so why they are coming with more and more patches it doesn't make sense.

Adding spells and some balnacing is a lot different than adding a lot of new assets, voice acted dialogue, animation.. etc. I want the dlc but fine with it not happening but that's besides the point
