players looking to mix up their playthrough can now do so with a mod that makes the game's second act feel totally new. Larian Studios' award-winning RPG is already swimming in mods to both revamp the existing adventure and build upon it with fan-made expansions. Fortunately, a new mod is looking to refresh some of 's longer moments with some extra spice.
Created by Nexus Mods user kvnbass (via PCGamesN), the «Additional Enemies Extended» mod adds plenty of new foes to encounter while also remixing some fights in Act II that should both ramp up the difficulty and add some additional surprises to an adventure. Aside from shuffling around the fights, the mod also includes several monsters pulled directly from that didn't make it into the final cut of. To top it all off, a variety of subclasses like Fathomless and Torchbearer have been added to several enemy groups, granting even more combat diversity.
Given that this is the «Extended» version of the «Additional Enemies» mod that was released closer to 's 1.0 launch, kvnbass makes it clear that they wanted to adjust a few things that they found slightly frustrating with the original version. Primarily, the health pools of some of the extra monsters have been reduced as the creator states that increasing how much damage a foe takes before they die isn't difficult but annoying in their eyes. To compensate, enemies now have access to new tools and abilities, both passive and active, that should make them more challenging.
Ever since hit early access in 2020, the modding community has flocked to the game due to Larian Studios' support and the flexibility of the game's systems. Some of the more impressive creations include an adjustment to the game's party limit feature that allows users to run around with every companion at once as well as a dedicated fan who is working on a mod that adds Tabaxi as a playable race that can be chosen during character customization.

The 1.6 Update for may still be fresh on the community's minds but that hasn't stopped developer ConcernedApe from pushing out yet another patch to fix some known issues and add in some small extra features. Despite being nearly a decade old, the beloved farming RPG is widely regarded as one of the best games ever made in no small part due to the impressive amount of post-launch content it's received over the years. The latest hotfix isn't intended as a full expansion but rather shepherds in some much-needed tweaks and balances.
Though might not be set to receive additional content in the future, developer Larian Studios has continued to fix many of the game's most pressing glitches and bugs — including those relating to persistent issues with major characters like Lae'zel and Nightsong — with continuous updates, patches, and hotfixes. Despite being one of the biggest games released in 2023, and a winner of many game of the year awards, has also been notoriously riddled with bugs since its release, as is usually the case with most large scale RPGs (and especially systems-heavy CRPGs).
The party composition in was almost even more chaotic before Larian Studios opted to keep a major Act 2 evildoer away from any kind of redemption. Throughout players' adventures through the Forgotten Realms, Tav can recruit an assortment of colorful companions to their side, each one bringing their own unique backstory and baggage that must be carefully handled. While the recruitable allies are all beloved in their own right, one villainous member may have been just a stretch too far.
While the community speculates as to why Larian Studios isn't developing any DLC or major expansions for the game, CEO Swen Vincke clarifies why the team ultimately landed on the decision. Following the game's 1.0 launch in late 2023, players were quick to request some kind of expansion that would wrap up a couple of dangling plot threads and provide even more adventures for Tav and their party. Unfortunately, that won't be the case, and while some future updates will include some much-requested features, a substantial add-on isn't happening.
As players wait on any kind of update regarding ,the latest update regarding the game's development has left the community with more questions than answers. Starting off life as an expansion to the original, which is widely regarded as one of the best games of the past decade, developer Team Cherry has provided very little information on the sequel, leading to a substantial amount of frustration from enthusiasts. As the game's absence slowly turns into a meme, the most recent news on its progress does nothing to satiate fans' curiosity.
has a few buffs that feel overpowered, but it seems like not all of them are intentionally included in the game, and there's one buff that might be a bug that's only available during an Honour Mode playthrough. But since it's available at all in Honour Mode and gives any affected party members all the resistances that Gerringothe Thorm has, this is one bug worth pursuing.
's omnipresent narrator may have found their way into the hearts of the game's community, but Larian Studios briefly flirted with bringing in an exceptionally experienced Dungeon Master to dictate the experience. Through players' adventures through the Forgotten Realms, the voice of the narrator, played by veteran actor Amelia Tyler, accompanies every major decision and moment in the story, chronicling every action and choice. While Tyler has earned plenty of praise for her performance, one of the most beloved content creators almost took on the role.
may already be littered with references to pop culture but Larian Studios may be close to hosting the RPG's first major crossover with an unexpected indie game taking center stage. Crossovers in video games are relatively common nowadays, especially amongst indie games that tend to offer their communities an abundance of content updates after launch. famously released a expansion while Nintendo is known for mixing up franchises for and, but one major crossover players may not expect may eventually arrive for .
players who find the various playable races a little too alive are in for a treat as a new mod aims wants to provide plenty of zombified fun. While undead characters play a substantial role in the universe, and even in Larian Studios' hit RPG, the base experience doesn't allow users to create and play as a character that's already dead. Fortunately, with the power of extensive modding anything is possible, including running around the Forgotten Realms as a decaying zombie.
The latest patch for is a relatively minor hotfix to mend some bugs in the game but one improvement should come as a welcome fix for players tired of hearing Minthara gossip about Gale. Once players recruit both of the aforementioned characters, it's made clear that there's no love lost between the Drow Paladin and the Human Wizard. This general distrust manifests itself as snide comments and general distrust but one particular line of dialogue eventually began to irk players, especially when Minthara goes on about it endlessly.
Despite the initial excitement surrounding the remastered versions of the classic games, fans are expressing their frustration over the games' surprisingly large file size. The has already caused a great deal of controversy amongst its player base due to its disastrous launch which exposed fans to bugs, server issues, and a multiplayer mode that was effectively unplayable for most of the community. The game's situation is only getting worse as fans are now questioning why it needs to take up so much storage space.
