Baldur's Gate 3 performance tanks because you can't behave

Baldur's Gate 3 is reaching an exciting height with its recent GOTY win and now its various nominations at The Game Awards. While we're all jumping into our third or fourth playthrough of the DnD-inspired RPG, Larian Studios continues working to release regular patches. The most recent update seemingly introduced some stability issues, but it turns out that these performance problems may actually be our fault.

Baldur's Gate 3 Druids get even better with big Wild Shape upgrade

Baldur's Gate 3 Druids have got to be one of my favorite classes. After much deliberation, it was the option I chose for my first character, so I'll always have a special bias. Beyond that, Druid companions Halsin and Jaheira are two of the most interesting and fun characters to have around. Yet while the Druid's signature spell Wild Shape is a very cool and undoubtedly powerful ability, allowing you to transform into all manner of different animals, it can feel a little one-note, with several of the forms rarely seeing use. That's all changed now, however, thanks to a new BG3 mod.

Who knows if you can beat Baldur's Gate 3 without long resting, but it sure seems like a pain

Long rests are an incredibly important part of D&D, but one Baldur's Gate 3 player is trying to figure out if you can beat the game with having one a single time.

In all likelihood, for most of you out there, if you want to beat Baldur's Gate 3, you're going to have to take a long rest. It restores health and skills slots for one, and pushes some quests forward too. But YouTuber Fracture has decided that nah, they're going to try and beat the massive RPG without long resting at all (as shared by GamesRadar). Now, unfortunately, they technically failed at the first hurdle, as there is a compulsory long rest in the first act of the game, but hey, we can allow some caveats here and there, right? Besides, Fracture had healed his group of ragtag adventurers beforehand anyway, and used up some skills when they woke up, so it basically didn't count.

Something to bear in mind if you want to try out this challenge yourself, is that you'll have to do a whole lot of cheesing in order to get through it. I'm talking about shoving or chucking enemies off cliffs, taking control over giant powerful spiders, and rounding up a whole bunch of enemies and blowing them up. It's all very silly, but it feels like it's still in the spirit of D&D anyway, so who cares how the job gets done!

"I thought I knew every type of hurt there was. I didn't know anything, did I?" Jesus, Karlach, I'm sorry, I didn't even get this dialogue in my game and I still feel bad. Baldur's Gate 3 is a big game with tons of world state variations and a veritable smörgåsbord of romanceable companions⁠—it makes sense that there's a lot of different breakup scenes...

This Baldur's Gate 3 mod lets you grab some sassy medieval hotpants for Astarion this Black Friday

Black Friday may be all about spending money, but sometimes the best things in life are free, as this new Baldur's Gate 3 mod proves by allowing you to give one of the game’s iconic characters some equally iconic new shorts.

There are plenty of great BG3 mods out there that can help to ensure your party will look very fly as they take care of their little tadpole problem and get up to all kinds of other wacky hijinks. After all, what would you expect from the community that spent a good few months begging Larian to give them a magic mirror via which they could spend hours preening and pruning their Tav?

That said, the latest work of modder Sakusakus takes things to a whole new level. Dubbed ‘Art Thou Nasty’, it adds a pair of custom Renaissance/Medieval-style hotpants that have that very phrase emblazoned across their rump into the game as an equippable rare armour item.
