A group of Baldur’s Gate 3 modders are working on a massive mod for the game that effectively turns Baldur’s Gate 3 into the game that started it all: 1998’s Baldur’s Gate.
The team of modders–who collectively go by the name Deathbringer’s Reign–are led by project organizer 786r786, who previously created a Baldur’s Gate 3 mod that recreates Candlekeep, the opening location from the original Baldur’s Gate. Players went wild for the Candlekeep mod, which led to more interest in its creator, and eventually player requests for a full Baldur’s Gate mod.
“I received a lot of requests from fans of the original games to turn it into a full campaign, along with offers from some incredibly talented modders who volunteered to help,” 786r786 explained (via Rock Paper Shotgun). “Making an isolated custom campaign is actually a bit easier than making an extension to the base game; you don’t have to account for the incredibly vast amount of scenarios present in vanilla BG3, and you have full control over the player’s environment.”
