During today’s Panel From Hell: 5th Edition live show, Larian announced and released Baldur’s Gate 3’s seventh major patch, Absolute Frenzy.
The patch hails the arrival of the playable Barbarian class and the introduction and Improvised Weapons, alongside many other additions, changes and fixes, bringing the game further down the path toward 1.0.
Patch 7 adds a fog of war mechanic that obscures unexplored rooms, makes tweaks to Darkvision and light/dark detection, and much more. Of course, it also adds the Barbarian class as mentioned above, and plenty of changes and additions made possible by the community. The full patch notes are dense, and provide a more in-depth look at what’s changed, but below are some highlights.
