Baldur's Gate 3 is a huge return to the series that few could have predicted before, but many now welcome. Strangely enough for such a big title, Baldur's Gate 3 is in Early Access and constantly being tweaked in everything from classes to its use of dice.
Many players are eager to have the full and complete version of Baldur's Gate 3 in their hands, what with the history it represents, how it brings D&D successfully back into video games, and just because it's fun in general. But while it's unlikely to leave Early Access any time soon, it is still making improvements across the board.
The latest patch of Baldur's Gate 3 fixes several bugs and issues throughout the game, with one in particular targeting corpses. Before the patch, corpses had a tendency to not stay in one place like they should. This is not because the world is full of enterprising necromancers raising the corpses from the dead as zombies and skeletons, but rather because the corpses constantly slid around. Players would watch as their kills slid across the ground like they were on an incline. It may not be as important as fixing Baldur's Gate 3's loaded dice (which was also done), but it at least helps keep immersion.
Hopefully with corpses not sliding around so much they will be easier to loot, or to raise if necromancy spells become more prominent in the game. Typically players look forward to bigger additions with patches, like the introduction of the Druid class, but things like these go a long way to helping the game as well. So often it's the little things that break immersion or gameflow in ways that players ridicule or criticize games for. It's nice to see those get fixed in realtime, with them being experienced and then removed.
Players are still hoping that Baldur's Gate 3 is heading out of Early Access sooner rather than later, but they shouldn't hold their breath. More patches and save resets will pass before the game is truly complete.
That's not to say that players experiencing the game right now is not a good thing. Feedback has clearly been helpful and the game is progressing nicely, on both the smallscale and the large scale. Early Access is clearly good for Baldur's Gate 3, and will continue to be so unless the final product turns out bad.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available in Early Access for PC and Stadia.
