"Getting sidetracked doesn’t feel too unnatural": Baldur's Gate 3 Act Two Expansion modder on how they seamlessly fit a "detour" to fight an army into the RPG's plot
Midway through September, modder SquallyDaBeanz released a solo-developed custom campaign for Baldur's Gate 3 in beta, adding an extra chapter to the RPG's main story. Neatly nestled between the RPG's second and third acts, the mod sends you and your party on a trip through The Chionthar Wilds while the Absolute's Army marches on towards the city the series is named after. SquallyDaBeanz has now offered a bit more explanation as to why they reckon the second section of BG3's established story be

An ambitious Baldur's Gate 3 custom campaign mod which adds a whole new region to explore between the RPG's second and third acts is finally out in beta.

Not content with just adding to the questlines and interactivity of Baldur's Gate 3's established gang of companions or working on their own for custom campaigns, modders have even started turning other characters from the game into recruitable buddies. The latest to get this treatment is Mizora, bane of regular party member Wyll's life and with a new mod, friendly force by your side in the RPG's third act.
Baldur's Gate 3 third anniversary stats reveal most killed NPCs, most used weapons, and Dark Urge players aren't the most murderous playing the game

'It Would Make Folks Happy' - Larian Exec On Why Baldur's Gate 3 Now Supports Xbox Play Anywhere
"We just did it because it's a pretty cool part of the Xbox ecosystem". I've been pretty vocal here at Pure Xbox about my admiration for the Xbox Play Anywhere program. About the ability to access my Xbox library across console, desktop, and handheld devices, and how it's arguably Microsoft's defining feature right now. It's the reason I stick around. It feels like Xbox Play Anywhere is finally getting the flowers it deserves, both from fans and developers alike. Speaking with Jez from Windows C
Almost 10,000 people have played Baldur's Gate 3 in a portrait aspect ratio, so join me in figuring out why they'd commit such sacrilege
The amount of time I spend thinking about aspect ratios would potentially be a cause for concern if it wasn't, admittedly, an unquestionably dull thing to think about for most people. Yet I continue to do so as the way we choose to frame any kind of image is an important one, as there are all manner of connotations to such a choice. In video games, we're even sometimes able to make that choice thanks to the power of the fabled "options menu." As it turns out, 9008 people made the choice to play
Baldur's Gate 3 players on PC can't decide if the latest third-person camera mod is a revelation or a crime against Larian's original vision
The discussion of whether Baldur's Gate 3 needs an actual third-person camera mode or not is ongoing, but with Larian now focused on Divinity, modders keep putting out modifications that try to deliver what many players demand in different ways. Now, a 'true third-person camera' mod has blown up in popularity and reignited the endless debate.
Baldur's Gate 3 True Third-Person Camera Mod Goes Viral, Sparks Debate About Whether It Erases the Game's Identity
Baldur’s Gate 3 might be three years old, but it’s still the subject of much debate — and many new mods. One mod in particular has gone viral, leading some fans to say developer Larian should keep it in mind for its future games. Others, though, believe using it to play Baldur’s Gate 3 essentially amounts to heresy.
Commit cinematic sacrilege in Baldur's Gate 3 with this true third-person camera mod
Video game cameras are often a point of contention primarily because a bad one can completely disorient you, or even outright make you feel sick. These are worthwhile things to consider, but I do wish there was more of a discussion around the specific choices that are made in particular camera angles and positions, and how it might actually be important that certain games should be played in the way they are designed. I'm going to throw all of that out of the window right now though and tell you

My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way hasn't played Baldur's Gate 3 yet, but he still made some time during a concert to discuss it with fans
As we await news on Baldur's Gate 4 (if it does happen), Baldur's Gate 3 remains a top tier RPG people seemingly can't get enough of. My Chemical Romance singer and songwriter Gerard Way - who's also a comic book writer - hasn't gotten to Larian's latest yet, though.
Baldur's Gate 3's Astarion gets an extra ending cutscene, made by a modder keen not to finish up on a rather awkward note
Warning: Spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3 lie ahead. Shagging Astarion in Baldur's Gate 3 might say various things about your taste in blokes, but it's understandably the way a lot of folks go. Not everyone's got the nerve to admit that they want to cast some spells with Gale's other wand. Anyway, a veteran BG3 modder's now come to the aid of those who reckon one of the white-haired fang lad's endings concludes a bit too abruptly for their liking, and without enough final hugs.

The Co-Lead Designer of Baldur's Gate 2 Turned Baldur's Gate 4 Down and I Don't Blame Him — Baldur's Gate 3 Is Pretty Much Impossible to Follow
After Baldur’s Gate 3’s enormous success, Baldur’s Gate 4 feels like an inevitability. That’s how the entertainment industry normally works: if a product everyone loves makes hundreds of millions of dollars, it’s guaranteed a sequel. But I’m not sure that established thinking works when it comes to Baldur’s Gate 4.
Baldur's Gate 3 Path to Menzoberranzan custom campaign modders offer glimpse of their long-awaited demo level's "dark, ruined dungeon" as environments near completion
Late last year, the modders behind an ambitious Baldur's Gate 3 custom campaign mod called Path to Menzoberranzan pencilled in plans to release a Nautiold-sized demo level during the first half of 2026.

Baldur's Gate 3's Wyll gets "the autonomy he deserves" in deciding whether to break his pact with Mizora, thanks to a chunky companion quest overhaul mod
Back in 2024, I wrote about a group of Baldur's Gate 3 modders who were dead set on giving Wyll the same level of depth and attention Larian's RPG dotes on the likes of Shadowheart and Astarion. They dubbed their efforts the "Wyll Cinematic Universe", and kicked off by adding a new romance scene for the Blade of Frontiers to the game's third act. Now, their work looks to have culminated in a substantial revamp of Wyll's companion quest surrounding his pact with evil demon lady Mizora, giving him

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
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 developm
