Baldur’s Gate 3 fans, here is something for you today. Modder ‘Queen Plouton’ has released a new cool mod for BG3. This mod adds to the game a new unique Drow Warlock companion. This new companion has his own custom dialogues, a recruitment event, active leveling and a new quest line.
Going into more details, players can also decide to recruit Veilyn as a companion or play through his story from his own perspective as a brand new origin character. If you choose him as your companion, Veilyn will level with you. You can also take Veilyn with you from Act 1 all the way to Act 3 and see his place in camp change with your adventure.
As said, the mod also has a new quest line, called The Bloodletter. Currently, there is only a single quest trigger, but more will come with future updates. The modder plans to expand this quest line so that it can unfold across multiple acts, offering players meaningful choices that will influence Veilyn’s fate and the world around him.
Another cool thing is that Veilyn can react to specific in-game environments, NPCs, and major events. There is also a new custom dialog system. This is a demonstration of new and edited dialogs both as a companion and as an origin character.
What’s interesting here are the future plans for this mod. The modder plans to really expand it with new cool features. For instance, there are plans for voiced lines. There are also plans for new locations, romance options and additional subquests.
You can download this first version of this cool mod from this link.
Speaking of BG3, I also recommend downloading this HD Texture Pack for it. This pack will greatly enhance a lot of the game’s textures. Created by WestAard, this pack uses AI tools to upscale the original textures. As such, the modded textures retain the art style of the original ones.
Another cool mod you can download is the real-time combat mod. As its title suggests, it turns this turn-based RPG into an action RPG. In its current state, the Brawl – Real Time Combat Mod is only meant to be used with standalone game modes, like Trials of Tav. However, its creator is working on adding it to the SP campaign.
Baldur’s Gate 3 came out in 2023 and took the industry by surprise. Larian has done a terrific job with it. So now, I’m curious to see what the studio’s next game will be. From what we know, it won’t be Baldur’s Gate 4. Still, let’s hope that it will be up to the standards that BG3 set.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
