A new mod for Baldur’s Gate 3 is shaking up the game, allowing players to embrace the undead life with the Undead race from D&D’s 3.5 edition.
For those craving some zombified adventures in the Baldur’s Gate 3 world, the “Ghastly Ghouls” mod by ghouls0rules on Nexus Mods delivers the goods.
Drawing inspiration from the Libris Mortis supplement of Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Edition, this mod introduces the Undead race with four distinct subraces: Lich, Ghoul, Wight, and Mummy.
Each subrace comes with its unique appearance, abilities, and skills, offering players a variety of options to explore their undead alter ego.
While playing as an undead character won’t drastically alter the game’s narrative, it does bring significant mechanical changes.
Undead characters won’t benefit from traditional healing methods, and each subrace boasts its own peculiar perks.
Ghouls can feast on corpses, Mummies can stash organs in containers, Liches are bound to their Phylacteries, and Wights can craft their own Half-Wights over time.
The “Ghastly Ghouls” mod is not just about aesthetics; it also introduces gameplay mechanics that reflect the undead nature of the characters.
However, don’t expect new dialogue options tailored to undead characters. Instead, players can choose passive abilities that offer dialogue choices available to other races in the base game.
Despite this, the mod offers extensive customization options, with over 50 head models and 29 body types to mix and match.
With Baldur’s Gate 3 gaining momentum since its full release, the modding community is playing a significant role in expanding the game’s horizons.
From cosmetic changes like altering character appearances to introducing entirely new playable races like the Tabaxi, modders are continually enhancing the gaming experience.
As players eagerly await future updates and expansions, the possibilities for Baldur’s Gate 3 seem limitless, thanks to the dedication of the modding community.
