baldur's gate 3: fan-favorite bard might join in patch 7

Larian Studios is set to introduce everyone's favorite bard, Alfira, as a playable character in Baldur's Gate 3 with the release of Patch 7 in September 2024. Although not officially confirmed, the patch notes hint at Alfira joining the party temporarily, creating excitement among fans who have been requesting her addition since the game's launch in August 2023. This patch will also bring official mod support to all platforms, enhancing the experience for both PC and console players. As Larian prepares to step away from Baldur's Gate 3, the potential final major update aims to leave a lasting impact on the game.

As of now, Alfira's inclusion is only temporary according to the patch notes. However, fans are hopeful and expect modders to find ways to make her a permanent member shortly after her introduction.

For those unfamiliar, Baldur's Gate 3 is a critically acclaimed tactical RPG, earning a 10/10 from IGN for its complex characters, engaging story, and refined gameplay. Set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, the game has set a new standard for CRPGs, offering extensive player freedom and exploration. Alfira, a tiefling bard met in Act 1, has become a beloved character among players, making her potential addition a highly anticipated feature in the upcoming patch.
