Baldur’s Gate Update Brings Much-Needed Fixes for Genitals and Undies

Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios has detailed the second big post-launch update for the hit RPG. On Steam, Larian posted patch notes that include fixes for nearly 300 crashes, blockers, and bugs.

Hilariously, a couple of the changes fix bugs with genitalia and undergarments in Baldur’s Gate 3. Under the “Gameplay” section of the patch notes, the first two fixes read like this:

• Penises C and D no longer clip through some githyanki clothing.
• Male gnome sorcerers are no longer missing their undies.

Larian promised that Baldur’s Gate 3 would be “big-budget horny” in a way AAA games have never seen, but that doesn’t mean we always needed to see gnome sorcerers going commando. Thankfully, that’s been removed along with hundreds of other changes. You can check out the full list of fixes below:
