Baldur's Gate 3 Player Makes Helpful Realization After Nearly 400 Hours in the Game
A Baldur's Gate 3 player online makes an incredibly useful discovery after spending almost 400 hours of playtime in Larian's 2023 RPG.
The mod, simply titled "Darts," is available on Nexus Mods from user Aetherpoint. It adds in a dart weapon that was originally cut by Larian, allowing players another unique way to engage in ranged combat in Baldur's Gate 3. Aetherpoint has even added an additional returning dart titled D'artagan, putting their own twist on Larian's cut content. While only a small mod, "Darts" is an immersive addition to the world of Baldur's Gate 3, and any PC player should give it a try.
Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Restores Darts Cut Content
Since Baldur's Gate 3's release last year, players have become fascinated by the pieces of content that were eventually cut from the game. While Larian hasn't been upfront about everything, interviews given by individuals since its launch have given small nuggets of information about things that didn't quite make it into Baldur's Gate 3. It was even revealed that Baldur's Gate 3 almost returned to a classic franchise location, which would have been interesting for series veterans. Although it isn't clear how far along most pieces of cut content were, hopefully, the modding community can restore a lot of it over the coming months and years.
In September, Larian is set to release Patch 7 for Baldur's Gate 3. This is significant for one major reason. Patch 7 is set to finally see the release of official Baldur's Gate 3 modding tools, which will expand the capabilities of what the community is able to create. Frankly, it's amazing that fans have been able to create such fantastic mods without these tools so far, so it'll be exciting to see what comes of their release. Even if Larian is largely done with Baldur's Gate 3, there's no doubt that the modding community will keep it alive for many years to come.
