Lotrich<\/a>, a member of Baldur’s Gate 3’s nascent map modding community who has been uploading videos of their work to YouTube, has just provided a peek at their latest creation: An in-progress, but still very recognizable take on Waukeen’s Promenade<\/a>, one of the opening areas of Baldur’s Gate 2.<\/p>\n

The promenade is a bit bare at the moment, but its distinctive archways and amphitheater-like layout are immediately striking\u2060\u2014Waukeen’s Promenade always felt like someone turned a sports arena into an open-air market, fitting for the mercantile city of Athkatla. The circus tent where you can recruit companion Aerie is visible in the distance, and Lotrich includes a special treat toward the end of the video: A peek inside Ribald Barterman’s Adventurer Mart, one of the best shops in the game.<\/p>\n
