Baldur’s Gate 3 it’s a game that lives and dies by its companions. The characters in Larian’s RPG are probably its greatest strength, but they can be even better.
This collection of top 10 Baldur’s Gate 3 companion mods change both the appearance and behavior of those watching the game. These are must-have products, the most delicious.
More reactive companions
More reactive companions Is Baldur’s Gate 3 a mod that makes the game really feel like a group adventure. It doesn’t even add any up-to-date content, instead repurposing many of the throwaway lines of dialogue used by the characters as they play as them.
These lines will be used as “side talk” when using this mod. Each of them was hand-selected for each scenario by the creator of the modification LightningLarryL, which gives them a real sense of authenticity. This makes a huge difference and will make your party livelier than ever.
Full custom companions (mercenaries)
Full custom companions (mercenaries) greatly expands the employment system. Instead of being narrow to the same venerable mercenaries offered by Withers, this allows you to customize your own. You can even utilize Baldur’s Gate 3 racing mods to create additional unique mercenaries.
However, that’s not all this mod can do. It also allows you to duplicate regular NPCs and utilize them as companions. These custom mercenaries can also utilize tadpoles to gain illithid powers, making them feel more like regular ones BG3 companion.
Summon Guenhwyvar – Drizzt’s Legendary Panther Companion
If you are Dungeons and dragons knowledge fanatic, Summon Guenhwyvar – Drizzt’s Legendary Panther Companion should be right up your alley. The panther Guenhwyvar is a popular figure in Forgotten Realms lore, and with this mod you can summon her to fight alongside you.
After installation, you will receive a Guenhwyvar figurine. This can only be used to summon her once per Long Rest, so he is not completely defeated. Overall, this is a solid, story-friendly addition Baldur’s Gate 3.
Adjustable party limit
Oh, you want to party? Adjustable party limit can give you party. As the name suggests, it allows you to change the number of companions allowed in your party at one time, choosing a value from 1 to 16.
There are several similar mods that do this, so why is this the best? According to the mod’s author, PixellBytes, it is the only mod that has “built-in ways to prevent encountering some of the most infamous party limit extension bugs, such as the Lake Boat Bug in Act 1 and the Long Rest Bug.” So there.
JWL Scratch is back
We all love Scratch; he’s the best boy. But he’s not the most useful boy in combat scenarios. You can fix this with JWL Scratch is backwhich adds 11 elemental-themed variants Baldur’s Gate 3the cutest puppy.
This is done in a lore-friendly way by giving you 11 enchanted collars to collect throughout the game, each offering a different buff BG3canine companion. Recommended if you want to take Scratch with you on an adventure.
Fireproof Karlach
If you think about it, even on a surface level, it makes no sense for Karlach to take fire damage Baldur’s Gate 3. It burns so sizzling you can’t even touch it!
Of course, resistance doesn’t always equal resilience, but I guess so Fireproof Karlach it makes more sense to have it than not. It simply gives her the Infernal Resistance trait, negating all fire damage.
Truly Shadowheart
Truly Shadowheart may be one of the most frequently considered Baldur’s Gate 3 fashion there. This completely changes her character in Act 3 to be more consistent with Acts 1 and 2. But what does this actually mean?
For starters, romance Shadowheart no longer tolerates cheating. No more casual play with Halsin or Drow Twins! He’s much more similar to the Shadowheart we met earlier in the game, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg for everything this mod does. She will try to save her parents no matter what, she will need a lot more persuasion to kill Viconia, and you can even propose to her if you decide to save her parents. That’s right: with this mod you can marry Shadowheart in the epilogue. 10/10, no comments.
Renovation of Karlach WIP
Nexus Mods user vyrelis has been cooking seriously Renovation of Karlach WIP. This is definitely the best modification to the face of the devil companion, thanks to which it looks slightly gentler than in the basic version of the game.
It also gives her a cold up-to-date hairstyle that I think beats the vanilla one. Changing the appearance of a fan-favorite character will always be controversial for some players, but this one is quite tasteful.
A visit to Volo – Astarion in a up-to-date version
And now for something more dramatic. A visit to Volo – Astarion in a up-to-date version rejuvenates popular vampire Neil Newbon by a good 20 years, giving him a look closer to something you’d see on a runway or on a magazine cover.
Astarion’s pretty boy aesthetic won’t be for everyone, and that’s understandable. But for those who like it, it may turn out to be one of the best Baldur’s Gate 3 companion mods available.
Lae’zel – alternate faces
Probably of all Lae’zel’s changes in Nexus Mods Lae’zel – alternate faces takes the crown. This one offers multiple face options, each based on a different one Baldur’s Gate 3 race.
The differences from the base game of Lae’zel are quite minor, so with this mod you won’t feel like it’s a completely up-to-date character.
