Summary
Baldur’s Gate 3Patch 7 is finally here, bringing official mod support andbrand-new evil endingsto PC.
As of today, there is an in-game mod manager and modding toolkit which can be downloaded on Steam, allowing you to more easily tweak your game. However, the mod manager is not live on console as “it’s going to take a little longer to get this patch through all the necessary technical checks and requirements”; Larian predicts that it will be ready in October for those on PlayStation, Xbox, and Mac.
This means that cross-platform saving will no longer work until console receives Patch 7.
The mod toolkit is also not live on PC yet, but “will become available later today.” In the meantime, there are a few new evil endings to dig into. In the blog post detailing Patch 7, Larian revealed that there are 13 new cinematics “that offer varying conclusions to your most evil playthroughs” — we know one of these involves Ascended Astarion, and onethe Dark Urge’s companions, but Larian didn’t divulge any spoilers. We’ll have to find out more for ourselves.
Larian Worked With Modders On Patch 7, And Mods That Require Script Extender Should Still Work
A lot of mods require the script extender to function, but thankfully Larian Studios worked with its creator Norbyte alongside several other modders to ensure that their mods will remain compatible with the new toolkit.
Some third-party mods will inevitably break with the update as is always the case. Larian advises uninstalling these if you run into any issues to ensure that it’s not a problem with Patch 7 itself.
You can dive into the game right now to uncover all of the new additions to the story, but for those on console, you’ll have to wait until next month. Might be a good idea to mute some keywords if you wanna avoid spoilers, eh?
