Baldur's Gate 3 transmog mod won't make you choose between armor and drip

Dragon Age writer and Baldur's Gate 2 dev David Gaider has finally finished Baldur's Gate 3, and like countless other fans, he reckons it's "a worthy successor" to BioWare's CRPGs.

Consistent with the spirit of the game, Baldur’s Gate 3’s first “major” patch notes are too large to even fit into Steam’s usual text character limit. Developer Larian instead published a portion of the patch details on a Steam blog and the rest on their forums, which were briefly down - probably either due to an online traffic jam or just, again, the patch’s sheer size. Regardless, we have well over three thousand words worth of details on today’s patch, which addresses around one thousand bugs and graces us with “Short King Summer” before it’s too late. But beware: there are some spoilers in the patch notes.

Larian Studios has released the first major update for Baldur’s Gate 3.

It’s no secret that Baldur’s Gate 3 is overflowing with content. Every corner is filled with a secret side quest that’s pretty easy to miss. After all, platinum-ing the game would take no less than 200 hours. Still, with the excitement of all the new mechanics, characters, and world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and start skipping content.

Among the prolific world of Baldur's Gate 3 mods, a new one has caught our attention. Created by Nexus Mods user Liareth, the mod 'Bags Bags Bags' seeks to improve the game's not-so-great inventory management by adding 21 new containers, several of which support auto stacking of items.

Developer Cardboard Computer sporadically released their poetic adventure game, Kentucky Route Zero, in acts spread across multiple years. It was a teasing release schedule that only aided the game’s surreal mystery, so it’s no surprise that the studio have dropped the game’s first major update three years after the fifth and final chapter wrapped things up. The aptly named Postmodern Update overhauls the game’s user interface with a new Modern mode, alongside a host of bug fixes and more language options.

Great Boo's ghost. Is it that time of year again already? Somehow, we've ticked around to CoD Preorder o'clock again. Mind you, whether or not Modern Warfare III is worthy of the Price — as in Captain John — is still anybody's guess at this point. If you are keen, however, I do have the best bargains for it laid out below. It's the same deal on deals for Mortal Kombat 1, Starfield and many more.

The Baldur's Gate 3 modding scene remains dominated by blunt practicalities - more XP! More spellslots! More party members! HIGHLIGHT EVERYTHING! - but there are a few intriguing mods percolating to the top. We've already had one that makes Baldur's Gate 3 a single character RPG, which I am hoping somebody at the RPS Treehouse will do a diary feature about, plus a Painterly Scenery filter created by 1wk, which makes the game look like it's daubed on canvas. But the cluster of mods that caught my eye this morning are a simple change of camera perspective and controls that make the game look strikingly like Bioware's Dragon Age: Origins.

If I got to redesign Baldur's Gate 3 to fit my specific preferences, the first thing I'd do is get rid of the party system. My posse of Shadowheart, Astarion, and Karlach is great, but my favorite character to roleplay is the wandering ronin—the problem solver with an air of mystery who can take care of himself (Geralt of Rivia, essentially). But alas, BG3 is built with a full party of four in mind. You could try to fly solo, but difficulty doesn't scale to smaller parties, so fights would inevitably become impossibly punishing. Unless mods can save the day.

X, formerly known as Twitter, has been in the news frequently for all the wrong reasons. It is back under the spotlight again and this time for removing the verified blue, or golden, tick mark because of certain changes made by users. The most high-profile people affected by this have been BJP members including national spokesperson Sambit Patra, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, and others.

Dungeons & Dragons parties can be of any size. There's no real limit unless the DM is uncomfortable with eight people wailing on two little goblins. Baldur's Gate 3 is different. You can only have four people in a group, so you have to pick and choose who to bring with you on your adventure. But modders aren't having any of that, as SildurFX has already removed the limit for the full-release version of the game.

Baldur's Gate 3 has already amassed an incredibly dedicated modding scene. Even before its full launch, players were modding away in Early Access, tweaking visuals and adding new features. But now, modders have a whole lot more to work with, including the player origins that you choose from in the character creator screen.
