Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix 7 is here, and while it focuses on minor improvements to prevent crashes and help with save game issues, players are still asking Larian to “shave the cat” since His Majesty was given hair in patch 3. Whether or not Larian will turn the hissing cat back into a Sphynx remains to be seen.
The newest Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix focuses on the crashes and save game issues we’ve listed below, but players are continuing to ask for one small change to Larian’s newest RPG game, and I think it’s one we can all get behind. Larian, you need to shave the cat.
With Baldur’s Gate 3 patch 3 Larian made some great additions to the game, like the ability to finally change your Tav’s appearance in camp, but one visual change didn’t go over so well. Everyone’s favorite hissing cat, His Majesty, was given hair.
The previous patch says it has “Updated the visuals of His Majesty, who previously looked like Steelclaw. His Majesty’s appearance now befits his name and nature.” His Majesty was originally a Sphynx cat (one with no hair).
You can see what His Majesty looked like before patch 3 thanks to Yunitex on YouTube.
There’s no mention of His Majesty in Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix 7, but the comments are already filling up with requests for Larian to “shave the cat,” and a cursory look at any online communities shows that players have been asking since patch 3 dropped.
