Baldur's Gate 3 Dog Petted 400K Times and Other Stats

The latest note from the Community Update series presents further stats related to Baldur's Gate 3's early access. It turns out that the dog we can find in the game has been petted 400 thousand times already. Romancing is also very popular.

IN A NUTSHELL:

98.63% of players are interested in one of the romance options in BG3;
33% of people had an affair with Gale and 31% with Shadowheart;
The dog has been petted 400,000 times;
The latest patch improves dialogue animations and sound system (the latter results in better performance on weak PCs).

Developers from Larian Studios have published the tenth note in the Community Update series, in which they share further stats on Baldur's Gate III. This time we have, among other things, information about the popularity of romance options - as many as 98.63% of players decided to spend the night with one of the NPCs.

33% of players had an affair with the brilliant mage Gale, while 31% chose the cleric Shadowheart. The creators deliberately didn't give out stats of the other companions - instead, players were encouraged to try and guess them.

The following paragraph contains a small spoiler from the Early Access version of Baldur's Gate III, concerning a choice the player must make at one point.

The stata related to the factions present in the game are also interesting - 74.85% of players decided to help the Devils. The rest of the players sided with Minthar.

Another interesting detail concerns petting the dog - the animal received this little bit of tenderness 400 thousand times already.

In the note there is also a lot of information about changes in the latest patch. The most important of them concern numerous corrections in animated dialogue scenes. Some of them have been recreated practically from scratch - all to give them an appropriately cinematic character (this applies to a song sung by a certain horned lady). The creators have also improved the game's sound engine, so it should work better on weaker computers.
