Baldur's Gate 3's second act should get a playable new region this year, assuming this custom campaign mod doesn't hit any more roadblocks

by

The world certainly isn't short of ambitious Baldur's Gate 3 custom campaign mods to keep track of, and one looking to substantially expand the base game's second act has shared another progress update. Having been delayed from 2025 into 2026, its creator's still aiming to release a playable version by the end of this year, but has now admitted that's unlikely to happen in the first half of the calendar, as they'd originally hoped. Despite that, they've released a fresh trailer and said development's "progressing very nicely". Read more

Astarion's actor from Baldur's Gate 3 has dodged similar roles: 'Repetition breeds stagnation'

by Harvey Randall

starion from Baldur's Gate 3 is certainly up there in the hall of fame of killer RPG companions—not just because he's literally a killer as a vampire, but because he's a nuanced, complicated character performed by a very talented actor. It's no shock that Neil Newbon, who played him in Larian's finest, received awards for his work... Read more.

Baldur's Gate 3 had romance system ambitions that got killed by 'time constraints,' like a 'friendship' alternative for the companions you don't smooch

by Joshua Wolens

If the reams of art and lovelorn fanfiction are anything to go by, Baldur's Gate 3's romance system was one of its most successful parts. Keep, Larian, your remarkably complex imsim-y RPG gameplay; we just want to kiss vampires... Read more.

Shadowheart and Lae'zel's Baldur's Gate 3 romance came naturally because their writers realised they 'were writing the same story from different directions'

by Joshua Wolens

Is there any greater love than that between a weird fascist space alien and the victim of a cult abduction? There is not. That's why Romeo and Juliet is probably about exactly that, and it's why gamers over the globe can't get enough of Shar'zel. Lae'zart. Lart... Read more.

Baldur's Gate 3 writer says its Dragon-Agey rep system is there to stop you totally breaking the NPCs, but it 'becomes a dice roll' at points to keep romance natural

by Joshua Wolens

If you're not a fan of random violence and sadism—you know, a nerd—the words "Astarion disapproves" were probably burnt into your retinas like the afterimage of a nuclear blast when you finally rolled credits on Baldur's Gate 3. Your party members in that game always have a goddamn opinion on your decisions, and Larian communicated it in time-honoured fashion: little pop-ups like in Dragon Age or Knights of the Old Republic 2...

by Andrea Shearon

Last year, we issued a challenge to Baldur's Gate 3 fans with a quiz on its massive first act, and many of you passed with flying colors. I briefly entertained the idea that we made it too easy, but after some reflection, I don't think that's the case. Y'all are simply tadpole-brained like it's 2023 and fresh on your mind, and you know what? That's fine. I'm right there with you... Read more.

Elon Musk reportedly delayed a Grok update because it kept getting Baldur's Gate 3 facts wrong

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Only videogame purists refuse to utilize the internet for help in 2026. I grew up in an era where internet guides were proliferating, forums were the ideal place to seek answers to the Pokemon puzzles that plagued my playtime, and yet my internet access and 'screen time' was managed by my parents. These days, it's far easier to find the perfect guide for every game, and yet Elon Musk still allegedly delayed an update to his Grok AI so that it could answer Baldur's Gate 3 questions more accurately.

Baldur's Gate 3 drops surprise patch nearly a year after "final" update, but Larian's really focused on Divinity now, honest

Larian just can't seem to leave Baldur's Gate 3 in the past, can it? While the behemothic RPG shot the studio to stardom in 2023, Larian constantly tinkered with it for years afterwards - for better and for worse. But, nearly a year on from Patch 8, which was purported to be the 'final' update for the game, Larian is back for more, and has spent some time fixing the most egregious bugs that remain in the fantasy game. Now it can really focus on Divinity, honest. Read the rest of the story...

Surprise! Baldur's Gate 3 got a fresh patch. Unsurprise! It's vanishingly small, but at least it repairs some corrupted saves

by Joshua Wolens

Baldur's Gate 3—a videogame about dressing up hot elves—had fans scratching their heads earlier today when it suddenly pulled down north of 100 MB with no explanation whatsoever. What could it be? What could it mean? What's Larian up to now?.. Read more.

Baldur's Gate 3's romance is so much more than a bolted-on dating sim, it's a masterclass in layering character complexity

by editor@pcgamesn.com

There are many, many reasons to love Baldur's Gate 3. Larian's meticulous craft shines through at every level, from its beautiful rendition of Faerun to its sparkling narrative. What impresses me most of all, though, is the sheer amount of care shown towards its leading cast, and the complexity of its inter-character relations, platonic or otherwise. I've never played an RPG that handles romance with as much nuance, and it's the first to make me spin up another campaign purely to experience every dimension it reveals for each character.
