It&#8217;s a game that isn&#8217;t afraid to let us break the game, skip important content, and, in general, play the way we want. So, it shouldn&#8217;t surprise us that Larian, the development studio, hasn&#8217;t raised any objections to modding, which has significantly expanded the game&#8217;s possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Steam\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3047d89c-96d0-11e6-8546-00163ed833e7\/2505233623\/steam-download.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Steam<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, this means that there are many mods that are exactly what we would expect. Adding more people to the group. Carrying more weight. Increasing the level cap. But we&#8217;re not here for that. We&#8217;re here for the bizarre. For the fun. For the strange. <strong>That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve chosen the most utterly insane mods currently available for Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3<\/strong>, so you can enjoy the game as it deserves: turning it into a complete RPG mishmash with elements. But the kind of elements that you personally enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Playable skeletons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who hasn&#8217;t felt dead inside at some point? <strong>Larian seems to have pondered this extensively in the past, as in Divinity: Original Sin 2 they allowed us to play with undead characters<\/strong>. Unfortunately, probably due to narrative considerations, this hasn&#8217;t been the case in Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3. We&#8217;ve had to settle for races that breathe, pump blood, and can have a pretty smile, but never the perfect smile of a good skeleton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Playable Skeletons - Baldur&#039;s Gate 3\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EYlXpZLGZr0?start=5&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why a kind soul <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/baldursgate3\/mods\/565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">has decided to create a mod that allows us to play as a living skeleton<\/a>. <strong>With two sub-races within the skeleton category, divided between sturdy skeletons and agile skeletons<\/strong>, the most distinctive feature of the race is that they can use their own fingers as lockpicks once a day. Because, you know, it might be inconsistent to have a slug in your brain when you don&#8217;t have a brain anymore, but it&#8217;s all balanced out by the grace of picking locks with your phalanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start your own band<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you ever thought about forming your own music band? Most likely. Perhaps you&#8217;ve even done it. <strong>Learning to play an instrument, finding like-minded people, maybe doing it with friends<\/strong>. It&#8217;s more challenging than it seems, even if the outcome is satisfying on its own. But now you can easily do it in Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3, even if you refuse to play as a bard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BG3 Bard Band feat.

But now you can have your team not only go on adventures but also hop onto the tables of some dingy tavern and start playing a few big hits from Spanish post-punk, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/3nqLRAQNpXtKO5pswsdMqM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">such as &#8220;Tengo un pasajero,&#8221; for instance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Orc pride<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Normally, games add nudity mods because it&#8217;s not something most developers want to incorporate into their games. <strong>In Larian&#8217;s case, they don&#8217;t have that issue to begin with, so there&#8217;s no need for any mods to enable nudity for our characters<\/strong>. Does that mean people creating these kinds of mods are out of work? Not at all. As expected, they&#8217;ve found a reason to continue their crusade, this time in Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3: it&#8217;s not possible to customize the size of genitals.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Steam\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3047d89c-96d0-11e6-8546-00163ed833e7\/2505233623\/steam-download.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Steam<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there are many mods to modify characters&#8217; genitals, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/baldursgate3\/mods\/646\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">arguably the most outrageous one is &#8220;Pride of the Orcs \u2013 Larger genitalia for female Half-Orc.&#8221;<\/a> <strong>As the name suggests, it increases the size of the genitals when selecting a female half-orc character<\/strong>. The increase is, to put it delicately, like going from having a toothpaste tube between the legs to having a Pringles can filled with cement. Undoubtedly, this will enhance the gameplay experience for a very specific type of player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Giant merchant crab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve played The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, you probably know one of the game&#8217;s most iconic merchants.<strong> A giant crab \u2014 giant for a crab, not in relation to a human \u2014 capable of speaking, buying, and selling all kinds of goods<\/strong>. So beloved is this character within the community that mods have been created in every Elder Scrolls game to introduce it, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/baldursgate3\/mods\/148\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">now the same has been done in Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mudcrab Merchant - Baldur&#039;s Gate 3\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ABuCQEqb4QI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What does the giant merchant crab do? It buys what you don&#8217;t want, but it also sells all sorts of items that you can combine with other mods. This makes it a mythical figure, of utmost importance. It will be your companion, ensuring you always have a place to spend your money, what to spend it on, and, let&#8217;s be honest, someone to unload all the junk you accumulate during your journey. Because let&#8217;s not fool ourselves: you don&#8217;t need to steal that eighteenth armor right in front of you. But we won&#8217;t judge you. And neither will the giant merchant crab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose any race<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, the kind of madness we crave is more down-to-earth. More straightforward. <strong>Dungeons &amp; Dragons features such a plethora of playable races that incorporating them all into a game is far from achievable for any developer aiming to maintain a semblance of logical balance within it<\/strong>. However, that doesn&#8217;t mean mod developers need to be burdened by such considerations, allowing them to pour the entire universe of the books into the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fantastical Multiverse: Githyanki &amp; Githzerai\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wfC6AAH2y-I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/baldursgate3\/mods\/215\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Fantastical Multiverse is a mod that adds 47 more races to the game<\/a> from regions like Eberron, Malipla, or Krynn, among others. <strong>Allowing us to play as races such as the Vedalken, Minotaurs, Astral Elves, or Yuan-Ti, among many others<\/strong>, this mod lets us play as basically anything we can imagine.
