Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 modders are obsessed with giving Astarion guns Twitter:choidaehoonsBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 modders are constantly finding ways to equip fan-favorite character Astarion with guns, much to the amusement of the game\u2019s community. While 2023 was a massive year for video games as a whole, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was undeniably one of the largest hits. After developing a major following throughout the year and being praised by critics, the game managed to win multiple awards during the recent Game Awards 2023, even claiming the top prize for Game of the Year. In light of the game\u2019s success, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has become a main target for modders, with players stretching their creative legs and creating all sorts of out-of-the-box content for the game. And while there is a large variety of mods out there for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, there is a theme amongst some, with many modders decking out fan-favorite character Astarion with guns. Because of course. Within the context of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, the presence of guns stands out like a sore thumb. After all, the game largely focuses on conventional fantasy tropes in regard to combat and storyline. However, this hasn\u2019t stopped modders from introducing gunplay into the game. Earlier this week, Nexus Mods user Palmaman33 uploaded several different gun mods to the site\u2019s Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 section, letting players bring guns to knife (or mace\/staff\/sword\/anything) fights. These guns can be equipped by any character, but in almost every screenshot of these different mods shared by players on X\/Twitter, however, the gun wielder always seems to be Astarion. Earlier this week, the Nexus Mods user posted various videos of a mod they created for Baldur\u2019s Gate in which players are able to bring guns such as a pistol to face off against enemies equipped with knives, swords, and other melee weapons. However, fans on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) noticed that in almost every clip and photo from the mod, players have chosen to equip Astarion with a gun over any other character. As such, gamers have flocked to social media to share their thoughts, many of which are amused by the imagery from the mod. One X user wrote, \u201cWho gave this guy a f***ing gun I can\u2019t breathe.\u201d Another added, \u201cI am loving all the Astarion using guns art they\u2019re so funny, please keep them coming.\u201d For all the latest Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 news and updates, be sure to check out Dexerto\u2019s full coverage here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
