Baldur’s Gate 3 has become such a phenomenon since its release in August 2023 that, at least for me, it honestly feels a little difficult to remember a time when the internet didn’t vibrate with strong opinions about Astarion and Gale. But it’s true: the game is closing in on its third Christmas and, to mark the occasion, Larian has paid tribute to some of the over 10,000 mods that people have created for it.<\/p>\n

Yes, Withers’ Big Naturals<\/a> are in there.<\/p>\n

In a community update on Larian’s website<\/a>, the studio said that “before we close out on 2025, we\u2019re looking back at some of the best moments brought about by your mods!” Mods which have “caused tears, laughter, and pain. Lots of pain. Like getting rammed in the ankles by a muscle car pain.” In particular, it’s called out a set of mods used by Larian’s Aoife Wilson in the studio’s own streams of the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I strongly encourage you to check out the full list and the entire Mod.io collection<\/a> Larian put together of the ones it’s been using, but my personal favourite of the whole bunch has gotta be Car Wildshape<\/a>. “Gives the ability to any player character to turn into a car,” reads the mod’s own description, in a tone which I can’t help but read as slightly patronising.<\/p>\n

By my eye, it gives your party members the ability to transform into a 1996 Lada Riva or something similar, and then to pounce on you at inopportune moments and grind you beneath their vulcanised rubber wheels. It’s like that one Stephen King book: Revival.<\/p>\n
