Baldur’s Gate 3 fans are having a blast over the RPG, but they’re still clamoring for a feature that’s totally essential to them. Anything new on the subject soon?
Baldur’s Gate 3 lived up to expectations and even exceeded the wildest hopes. Even if this gigantic project does not escape teething problems, ultimately, it almost did not disappoint. The title is one of the highest-rated games of all time, and unsurprisingly, it will defend its place at The Game Awards 2023 in nine categories. Including that of GOTY 2023. Will he emerge victorious? This is clearly one of the favorites. However, even if BG3 is a success, it still disappoints some on one very specific point.
This feature is more requested than ever in Baldur’s Gate 3
On the night of December 7 to 8, 2023, we will know if Baldur’s Gate 3 will or not be elected “Game of the Year” and whether it will beat the other big favorite: Alan Wake 2. In the meantime, the RPG is charting its course and correcting all the problems detected by the players or Larian Studios. Thus, the last little hotfix 11, for example, made it possible to remedy a stubborn problem during a romance scene with Gayle. Those who were victims simply could not see the sequence normally. But this patch fixed the bug. On the other hand, despite the various updates, there is still something missing in Baldur’s Gate 3.
More than four months after the release of BG3, players are still campaigning for the implementation of transmogrification. Transmog for short allows you to equip yourself with equipment with better statistics, but while retaining the appearance of another. Indeed, in an RPG like Baldur’s Gate 3, you can come across armor that is much more effective and protective, but with a disappointing look. As a result, some people are hesitant to change equipment just for this. To be heard again, a Reddit discussion was created.
Several Internet users agree that Baldur’s Gate 3 has “desperately in need of transmog”. Overall, there is a lack of understanding on this subject. For such an absence in a game of this type?
A transmog mod for BG3 is available
In their demands, some players would also like to be able to choose the top and bottom of their outfits independently. But of course, without compromising the stats. Today, Baldur’s Gate 3 offers the possibility of partially changing the appearance using the magic mirror. Via this feature, physical attributes, voice and pronoun can be retouched, but that’s it. So what to do? As usual, several modders have already developed their transmog functionality.
Eralyne’s “Transmog Enhanced” responds to players’ requests to be able to change clothes, but while retaining the properties of more powerful equipment. “This mod will allow you to change the appearance of almost any equippable item. Including modded ones » says the Nexusmods page. Go there if you want to enjoy it, but take the time to read the description. The steps to follow for the installation are indicated, as well as the prerequisites. On the other hand, as you can imagine, this transmog mod is only valid for the PC version of Baldur’s Gate 3. A makeshift solution while waiting for Larian Studios to access the community’s request… one day.
