By giving players virtually unlimited freedom to explore and interact with the world alongside an intricate story, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is raising the bar for other RPGs. Fans are already discussing what other developers can learn from Larian Studios\u2019 masterpiece. Meanwhile, modders have wasted no time adding Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 features to other games like Skyrim. One great example is Shepiao\u2019s \u201cEldritch Blast\u201d mod for Skyrim Special Edition, which adds one of the most useful spells from Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 and tabletop Dungeons &#038; Dragons to the world of Tamriel. Eldritch Blast mod lets Skyrim\u2019s Dragonborn use the iconic D&#038;D cantrip The Eldritch Blast mod brings the Warlock spell into Skyrim and gives it the power of the Unrelenting Force dragon shout. This replicates the Repelling Blast Eldritch Invocation Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Warlocks can obtain to give their Eldritch Blasts knockback. Just like in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, the mod\u2019s Eldritch Blast scales as the user gets stronger. Players start with one beam, then gain a second at level 10 and a third at level 20. While it may not be balanced, Shepiao says the mod is just for fun. Of all the D&#038;D spells to add to Skyrim, Eldritch Blast makes perfect sense. Warlocks are notorious for using the cantrip and little else to the point it has become a long-running joke within the community. The reason behind this comes down to game design. Warlocks never gain as many spell slots as other spellcasting classes like Wizards and Sorcerers, so they need to use them wisely. Since Eldritch Blast is a cantrip, meaning it doesn\u2019t require a spell slot to cast, it\u2019s a great solution in both Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 and D&#038;D. On top of that, it\u2019s fairly strong, dealing 1d10 force damage per beam. It\u2019s also a ranged attack that lets the caster keep their distance from foes or aid an ally being overwhelmed by enemies. All in all, this Skyrim mod is a great example of how Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is resonating with players. From inspiring mods to encouraging fans to try out tabletop D&#038;D, it\u2019s clear this game\u2019s footprint is going to be as big as an enlarged owlbear nuke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 inspires Skyrim Eldritch Blast mod Nexus Mods: ShepiaoA Skyrim modder has given Dragonborns everywhere the most useful Warlock cantrip of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 and D&#038;D.
