Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players want more monster races to be added Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 has lots of standard fantasy fare as options for the protagonist, but players want more of the exotic playable races that appeared in later Dungeons & Dragons books, including the monsters. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 features all of the race options from D&D\u2019s 5th Edition Player\u2019s Handbook, along with a few extras, such as the alternate Tiefling lineages from Mordenkainen\u2019s Tome of Foes and the Githzerai, who are a major part of the game\u2019s story. There\u2019s a distinct lack of choices regarding monsters, at least according to fans on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 already features these creatures as enemies, so players want them repurposed as choices for their characters. \u201cThere are a lot of good ideas. But obviously, it\u2019s Kobold,\u201d one user wrote, reflecting the sentiments of many fans who wanted to see the diminutive draconic featured more. \u201cGoblin,\u201d another user wrote, \u201c1) Because it\u2019d be fun, but 2) it would add some interesting roleplay opportunities given the story.\u201d Goblins would be especially apt, considering how big of a role they play in Act I and how they\u2019d need special interactions with both major factions. \u201cThe rest of the plane-touched to go along with the Tieflings,\u201d one user asked, \u201cThe fact there\u2019s an Aasimar in the game, and we can\u2019t be one, or a Genasi is a bit aggro.\u201d Many fans asked for the Tabaxi, a popular race of cat people among D&D players. Fortunately, like many of the options players asked for, the Tabaxi is playable via mods. The presence of mods means that PC fans (and eventually, people who own Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 on consoles) have options for the monstrous races. The only issue is that they don\u2019t have the polish of the official races in terms of visuals and responsiveness within the story. Hopefully, Larian adds some extra races before it\u2019s done with the game, but if they don\u2019t, modders have years to refine them and make them feel as natural as the current options for Tav and the Dark Urge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
