Baldur's Gate 3's Mizora becomes a fully-fledged companion thanks to a new mod, just in case you fancy adding a calculating cambion to your crew

Not content with just adding to the questlines and interactivity of Baldur's Gate 3's established gang of companions or working on their own for custom campaigns, modders have even started turning other characters from the game into recruitable buddies. The latest to get this treatment is Mizora, bane of regular party member Wyll's life and with a new mod, friendly force by your side in the RPG's ...

If you're desperate for more Baldur's Gate 3, here's a 6-hour mini-campaign all about Astarion with 4 different endings and 6 new companions

We don't really need more Baldur's Gate 3, given how vast and replayable Larian Studios' RPG already is. That said, I'd never say no to more adventures within Larian's highly flexible adaptation of the Forgotten Realms. And while Larian itself has sworn off expanding BG3 any further, the modding community is still plugging away with new stuff, including the recent release of a 6-hour campaign revo...

RPG companions need to be hateable, otherwise nobody's going to love them

In my Honour Mode playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3, I romanced Gale—you can see my full thoughts on our under-appreciated wizard boy here. What solidified him as one of my all-time RPG romances, however, wasn't his wit or his very nice hair. It was a conversation in which he acted like a petty little bastard... Read more.

BioWare veteran says Baldur's Gate 3 was such a great sequel because it didn't try to be too much like Baldur's Gate 2

Mark Darrah was a programmer on the original Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2, along with Neverwinter Nights and Jade Empire, and served as executive producer of the Dragon Age series from Origins through Inquisition before leaving in 2020—and coming back in 2023 to kick in on The Veilguard. He knows a thing or two about BioWare RPGs, in other words, and speaking to FRVR he said he also knows why...

Larian gets briefly kicked off YouTube, TikTok for demonic smut reasons in Baldur's Gate 3

Baldur's Gate 3 is known for being, well, smutty—so much so that when the game first came out, we were in fierce, rigorous, masterful debates over it (stop giggling). The game has a lot of sensual scenes, but it also comes with a streamer-friendly mode to cover up all the jiblets and tatas... Read more.

Baldur's Gate 3's official livestream gets banned on YouTube and TikTok. Why? "Demon sex."

Baldur's Gate 3's official livestream was axed midway through on YouTube, as the platform's nudity policy kicked in a little too hard. Read the full story on PCGamesN: Baldur's Gate 3's official livestream gets banned on YouTube and TikTok. Why? "Demon sex."

Almost 10,000 people have played Baldur's Gate 3 in a portrait aspect ratio, so join me in figuring out why they'd commit such sacrilege

The amount of time I spend thinking about aspect ratios would potentially be a cause for concern if it wasn't, admittedly, an unquestionably dull thing to think about for most people. Yet I continue to do so as the way we choose to frame any kind of image is an important one, as there are all manner of connotations to such a choice. In video games, we're even sometimes able to make that choice tha...

Larian drops new Baldur's Gate 3 stats and you're all monsters: More non-Durge players killed Alfira than Durge and, worst of all, 9,000 people played on portrait monitors

Baldur's Gate 3 is—my god—three years old at this point, but it continues to do numbers. I don't mean player numbers, though god knows it keeps doing those too, I mean that it keeps generating stats. How many deaths, how many murders, how many deployments of a weapon named "Poo-Scraper" in combat—that kind of thing... Read more.
