This article demonstrates everything that is wrong with mainstream appeal and click-bait sites. The first highlight I read on that site:

More kiss animations added in sixth patch for Baldur's Gate 3 , enhancing romantic interactions in the game.

Really, that is the top highlight of six months of development and improvements?

Shows that reproduction is the meaning of life after all.

Vaelith · April 16, 2024

It doesn't matter that it was a *kiss* animation, it was an animation that was offputting and not very well achieved, and now it looks better. It could have been a foraging animation or a handwave animation; players reported the kiss one as obviously it mattered to them, but I don't know if they changed others too.

Very true that listing that as a top improvement is strange. It was a welcome change, but hardly one to lose sleep over. Clickbait media being clickbait media indeed.
