People can't get enough of Withers' Big Naturals
The Baldur's Gate 3 mod has received more attention since Larian posted about it
This beautiful creation comes from modder MaybeAdam and has also been available for console players for a few days now. This is also the reason for the huge surge in popularity it is experiencing, as the entire community is now able to add this addition to their playthroughs.
The introduction of console modding has made it easier for everyone by adding a dedicated menu for mods on all platforms. This means PC users unfamiliar with modding won't have to mess with the game files or a third-party mod manager to make changes to their game, and can download a limited selection of mods from one place.
Given the milestone Larian recently celebrated, it seems to be a great success. Whether it's adding new cosmetics or even new classes, there's a whole lot you can do now to shake up your next playthrough, and the community shows no signs of slowing down.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC.
Baldur's Gate 3 is the long-awaited next chapter in the Dungeons & Dragons-based RPG series. Developed by Divinity creator Larian Studios, it puts you in the middle of a mind flayer invasion of Faerûn, over a century after the events of its predecessor.
