Starting with Patch 6, Baldur’s Gate 3 players can finally comfort Shadowheart at a crucial moment in his story.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 6 after Larian Studios gave numerous teasers for new affection animations, including new kiss scenes for Shadowheart and Astarion.
The community came together collectively to release a patch on Valentine’s Day. However, Larian had other plans and decided to troll the community with hilarious Pengu gifs before releasing the patch on February 16.

Now that the patch is out, players are excited to be able to hold Shadowheart for an emotional moment in the game’s final act. Warning, spoilers for Act 3!
Baldur’s Gate players can finally comfort Shadowheart with a hug starting with Patch 6.
In Act 3, there are two options for the fate of Shadowheart’s parents. Players can choose to save them or let them be destroyed. Regardless of the choice, the scene ends with Shadowheart crying.
Before the release of Patch 6, the player had no other choice but to sit there, feel uncomfortable and let Shadowheart deal with his feelings on his own. However, players now have the option to comfort him by hugging him. Which makes sense, especially if the player is romantically involved with her.

” Finally! » said one player. “One of the worst moments of the game was just standing there and watching her cry “
Other members of the community were also happy to hear the news about Shadowheart. However, some took the opportunity to suggest that another character could use a hug after a traumatic moment.
” I want to be able to do this with Astarion when he kills Cazador and starts crying. Another commenter said. ” I just want to be able to hold it in my hands”.
Larian Studios has noticed players’ desire to interact more with their romantic partners in the game. This means that more updates regarding other relationships may be added in future Baldur’s Gate 3 patches.
