Baldur's Gate 3 patch 6 official notes: Easier companion dismissal, Shield Bash fix, and more

Baldur's Gate 3 patch 6 went live on February 16, 2024, bringing a host of long-awaited changes. To go with its release in the Valentine's Day week, the patch appropriately adds more bespoke romantic scenes for those who like the dating sim aspect of the game.

Alongside that and the addition of some more personality to camp idle animations, Baldur's Gate 3 patch 6 also implements a large number of bug fixes and a few balance changes.

The biggest one affecting all players will be a more streamlined companion dismissal system. Rather than having to revisit your camp and skip through numerous lines of dialogue, you can directly swap in a different companion when dismissing another.
