We're (finally) way behind… In all our time covering the addition of new Baldur's Gate 3 console content, the wait between drops has never been this long. It got to the point where we thought Larian might have moved on, but they didn't, and here we are.
With the final drop coming on June 23, we've had to wait three weeks for new content, and it's been killer. Thankfully, Larian's hiatus is over, and it has officially vetted, uploaded and approved ten new pieces of content for Baldur's Gate 3 console players.
Baldur's Gate 3 console players can now play as a witch elf and a “leader”.
I'm under no illusion that a lot of effort at Larian goes into officially checking, approving, and uploading new console mods. The wait was painful, what has been a sporadic year. Last year, these drops occurred almost weekly; This year, we have regularly gone a fortnight without one. However, it is understandable that the studio is focusing on its next title – Divinity.
This year has seen the addition of a Yassified Withers, a Werewolf Shadowheart, and a Muscular Monk, along with a ton of new classes, subclasses, and QOL improvements, and today's fall is no different.
Below you can see ten additions you can dive into Baldur's Gate 3 today:
- Spell slots x 2 and every 2 levels – Provides two additional spell slots and allows you to gain a new feat every second level.
- Free Rain (Ritual Create / Destroy Water) – Makes Create/Destroy Water a ritual spell so it doesn't take up a spell slot.
- Infinite illithid intelligence check – An Illithid Wisdom Check can be used an unlimited number of times without requiring a long rest. inactive
- NPC Redesign: Mystra (Vanilla Head) by Azazel – New scenes for Gale's lover Mystra, the goddess of magic.
- Witch Elf (Custom Subrace) – Adds a new Witch Elf subrace. “The witch elves were an outcast group of high elves who devoted themselves to the lord of darkness. This magical subclass seeks to corrupt as many elves as possible.”
- Leader Homebrew Category – Adds a custom homebrew class, leader. “The power of a leader is defined by their unique journey as a pioneer. Your commanding abilities flow from your personality and the beliefs you form, but your motivations are entirely your own: a hunger for victory, a need for radical change, or an unwavering belief.”
- Granny Rings Immersive – Scattered around the land of Baldur's Gate 3 are 353 Granny Rings.
- Dynamic Additional Encounters – Adds dynamic encounters based on player actions to the game.
- Dice Roll Text Replacer – Dice roll replaces text, such as success/failure, with something more humorous. Obviously.
- White Ghost Set – Adds the White Ghost armor and weapon set.
This is a good set added after a long time. While the new class and subrace are both great, the dynamic encounters seem like a real game-changer.
