Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 8 is among its biggest, holding 48 pages (approx. 19,000-20,000 words) of patch notes in its vast and bountiful form (www.pcgamer.com)

According to the article:

Patch 1: 16,542 words.

Patch 2: 4,016 words.

Patch 3: 23,576(!) words.

Patch 4: 19,473 words.

Patch 5: 6,731 words.

Patch 6: 18,548 words.

Patch 7: 18,153 words

Which puts this one on track to be around the same size as the last two patches going by word count alone

Patch 3 is clearly the largest since it's a factorial of 23.6k

if anyone else was curious.

I really wish they would have released fixes more often with smaller patches. It's always fascinating to find out what new bugs appear in the game and which regression they failed again to address.

After 100%'ing the game I really hope we get some new achievements with this last update.

With all the hidden content available in the game I'd say 100%ing it is almost impossible. Sure, not everything is accompanied by a nice "ding". But I bet if you play completely different you should be able to find lots of new stuff.

Maybe try to get every inspiration for every background.

That's almost as many words as fallout equestria
