Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players not happy with mods that make characters more \u201cbeautiful\u201d Larian StudiosSeveral Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have criticized mods for the game that attempt to make party members more \u201cconventionally beautiful\u201d, saying that it makes them \u201cirrationally angry\u201d. The characters who can make up your party in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 are undeniably the game\u2019s strongest selling point. The unique designs, impressive performances, and realistic writing have made characters like Astarion and Shadowheart instantly recognizable, and even NPCs like Alfira receive similar praise. Considering how popular these characters are, it\u2019s only natural that players are defensive of their designs and backstory, especially when aspects like a character\u2019s race or class play such an important part in their personal story and behavior. Can you imagine what it would be like if Lae\u2019zel wasn\u2019t Githyanki, or if Astarion wasn\u2019t a vampire spawn? This is why some mods, which are designed to change how characters look (usually the female ones), are getting so much hate from the community. It doesn\u2019t help that many of these mods alter defining character traits. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players slam mod that changes party member faces One of the more offensive examples recently popped up on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit, where Minthara\u2019s imperious drow features were replaced with a more docile and \u201cconventionally attractive\u201d look. We\u2019ve also seen examples where Lae\u2019zel\u2019s Githyanki facial structure was remodeled to give her a more human-shaped nose. Player reactions to these changes have been noticeably negative, with the post reading: \u201cMods like this make me irrationally angry. \u201cAt the end of the day, I don\u2019t care if people use those mods. It\u2019s their game. Whatever. But every time I see it I cringe a bit. Like, \u2018What did they do to you?’\u201d Another player compared the mod to a K-pop face edit, saying: \u201cMinthara is already gorgeous. I really hate the insta-baddie mods for companions and wouldn\u2019t change the uniqueness of them personally.\u201d For more news and updates on Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, check out how one player managed to make so many mistakes they ended up accidentally creating an evil playthrough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
