I grew up in an era where internet guides were proliferating, forums were the ideal place to seek answers to the Pokemon puzzles that plagued my playtime, and yet my internet access and 'screen time' was managed by my parents. These days, it's far easier to find the perfect guide for every game, and yet Elon Musk still allegedly delayed an update to his Grok AI so that it could answer Baldur's Gate 3 questions more accurately.

Read full update on Steam ↗I played the first act of Baldur's Gate 3 a few times in early access, which is why I'm always slightly surprised on subsequent playthroughs that there aren't a bunch of mind-controlled anglers protecting the dying mind flayer you encounter near the start of the game. They were cut in the final release, along with a bunch of dialogue and scenes, much of which has now been restored by modder HyperspaceTowel... Read more.
Read full update on Steam ↗Hello friends, The days are getting colder, the holiday decorations are creeping out early, and honestly? We’re leaning into it. It’s been a long year, one that saw Baldur’s Gate 3 receive twelve new subclasses, full cross-play support, and the arrival of photo mode - the last final, final last patch. It’s been an exciting year for us, what with also launching Larian: Channel From Hell, with weekly streams where you’ve had sneak peeks into our madness, met valued members of the team, and pushed Aoife to her limits with her Dark Urge run. However, they’re not the only stars of the show - your mods have caused tears, laughter, and pain. Lots of pain. Like getting rammed in the ankles by a muscle car pain. So before we close out on 2025, we’re looking back at some of the best moments brought about by your mods!The Devs Of Christmas - A Four-Hour Honour Mode Stream But before we start our...

Read full update on Steam ↗Baldur's Gate 3 has just been given a fresh new update that targets performance on the Steam Deck. Handled by a single engineer as a somewhat personal project, this new, native version of Baldur's Gate 3 looks to end the long-running doubts over whether the game ever actually deserved its verified status.
