Swen Vincke had to tell Baldur's Gate 3 writers to tone it down with the poop-based insults, which is saying a lot, since I still count at least 17 scat-based Vicious Mockery voicelines

by Harvey Randall

Vicious Mockery is one of the most iconic D&D 5e spells—in case you're completely unfamiliar with the system, or just haven't played a bard yet, it's a cantrip that deals 1d4 psychic damage (scaling a bit with your level) and gives enemies disadvantage on their next attack roll. It also lets you insult someone so hard that they just die, which is also the case in Baldur's Gate 3... Read more.

How well do you know Baldur's Gate 3's first act? See how hopeless of an RPG restarter you are with this quiz

by Tyler Wilde

It's been a while since I abandoned my last Baldur's Gate 3 character somewhere in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, so naturally I'm going to have to start yet another new character for my next playthrough. The fourth one, I think, or maybe it's the fifth?.. Read more.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a must-play, and it just hit its cheapest price ever

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Baldur's Gate 3 is brilliant. Even if you're not a fan of fantasy, you can't deny the sheer quality of this turn-based RPG. From its unsettling tadpole-behind-the-eye scenario to its carefully-crafted cast of characters to the sheer freedom it offers, it's an absolute treat. But if you've been holding off for a price drop, now's the time to take the plunge. Baldur's Gate 3 is currently 25% off on Steam, the biggest reduction it's ever seen. Read the rest of the story...

Larian sends fan new limited edition Baldur's Gate 3 vinyl after melting mishap

by Stevie Bonifield

"I’m honestly heartbroken right now." Reddit user Naoness shared those words alongside a video of their badly damaged limited edition Baldur's Gate 3 vinyl earlier this month. It was accidentally left out in direct sunlight hot enough it melted the record (sparking plenty of memes about Astarion's "full concentrated power of the sun" quote)... Read more.

New Baldur's Gate 3 mod recreates the first game, so I guess I'll play it again

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Where would we be without mods? The fan-made creations can make your every dream a reality, from adding Pokemon to Skyrim, to creating entirely new games out of the assets of another. The most successful mod of all time, if you remember, goes by the name of Counter-Strike. Even games with seemingly unlimited replayability, like Baldur's Gate 3, have mods that expand or transform the RPG into something completely different. The latest one to catch my attention takes players on a trip down memory lane, to where the series first began. Read the rest of the story...

Baldur's Gate 3 custom campaign mod recreates the original Baldur's Gate's Candlekeep and prologue

by

A new Baldur's Gate 3 custom campaign mod has emerged onto the Nexus like Gale's mitt through that portal, and it's one you'll likely want to check out if you fancy getting nostalgic for one of RPG's classic siblings. Return to Candlekeep, as you might have gleaned from the title, aims to recreate the prologue of the original Baldur's Gate, by taking you to a certain library fortress. It's not surprising someone's given this a go. After all, daunting tasks as such things might be, a good number of the BG3 custom campaigns being put together with the Moonglasses toolkit have opted to try their hand at taking players to revamped versions of locations from the previous two games.

Baldur's Gate 3's Neil Newbon wants to reprise his role, but when people say 'this character's just like Astarion, would you like to play them?' he's 'like not really, no'

by Harvey Randall

The actor behind Astarion, Neil Newbon, has gone on record as being keen to play Astarion again. Everyone's favourite spawn from Baldur's Gate 3 has stolen hearts (including mine), and you'd be forgiven for thinking Newbon would jump at the chance to play something similar—not so... Read more.

Warframe turned BG3's "unf**kable" narrator into a badass, romancable heroine

by editor@pcgamesn.com

I met Amelia Tyler in the restroom at Tennocon, Warframe's annual community event. The stars aligned an hour before my allocated interview slot with her (the interview did not take place in said restroom, to clarify) and it felt like, as a result, we'd formed a bond forged in fire and bad-smelling soap. In many ways, our newfound friendship felt akin to the ones I'd formed in Baldur's Gate 3 with Astarion, Lae'zel, and my beloved Shadowheart: a chance meeting that changed, in BG3's case, the course of history, and in our case, the general vibe of our interview (and potentially history, too). It's a relationship that you never quite have with the narrator of Faerûn's greatest tale to date; she's a faceless whisper, tempting and dissuading in her own way. She isn't a visible entity like Karlach, Wyll, and company, but she is still a character in her own right. Read the rest of the story...

Larian says it's going to expand the Baldur's Gate 3 mod toolkit 'to give you even more freedom,' so there goes another 100 hours I've lost to modding

by Andrea Shearon

Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 marked the last of Larian's major updates, but that doesn't mean we can't get a hotfix or modding surprise as a treat. As part of the RPG's second anniversary community update, the studio shared a few bite-sized fixes and a quick breakdown of more BG3 player stats. But most notably, the developer revealed that it isn't done working on the official modding toolkit... Read more.

I met the BG3 streamer who played fetch with Karlach's head, and she's not sorry

by editor@pcgamesn.com

"I had the severed head of Karlach, and I saw Scratch in the corner of the screen, and I wondered if he would play fetch," Lua 'Luality' tells me in the middle of London, Ontario's glamorous Hilton. We're having a follow up conversation about Baldur's Gate 3, the game that propelled the Brazilian streamer to Twitch stardom. Clocking in at just "four bunnies tall," I didn't take her for a vaguely murderous Tiefling slayer, but it turns out that Lua is, indeed, the reason that you can now play fetch with Scratch using Karlach's head. And she's not sorry, not at all - in fact, she'd happily behead more Baldur's Gate 3 characters if given the chance. Read the rest of the story...
