Larian Studios Removes Controversial Fur from Baldur's Gate 3 NPC 'His Majesty' After Fan Backlash
-
Larian Studios gave the bald cat NPC His Majesty fur in Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 3, but fans hated it so they removed the fur in Hotfix 8.
-
His Majesty's furless appearance fits his name and angry, loud personality that rebukes players in-game.
-
Larian originally wanted to distinguish His Majesty from a similar NPC cat named Steelclaw, but instead changed Steelclaw's eye color in the hotfix.
-
Other changes in Hotfix 8 include preventing item transfers from dismissed companions and crashes in multiplayer.
-
Fans are happy His Majesty is furless again, with one calling him "a perfect angry loud scrotum."
