It's the end of the week, which means we have another wave of Baldur's Gate 3 console mods to chew on; This time, Larian has given us a staggering 27 new options to play around with, including character creation tools, classes, weapons, spells, cheats, and even photo mod poses.
It's one of the most comprehensive hulls to date, and includes some really impressive work from the community, such as a custom class designed by Matt Mercer and a way to handle the Raphael quest without selling your soul to Harleep. If you're interested in what's on offer, we've broken down each of the new modes available on consoles as of November 28 and what they add to the game, so you can make your campaign even better.
