Baldur's Gate 3: 8 New Things Added In Patch 7
Patch 7 for Baldur's Gate 3 adds some great new features to the game, including expanded Honour Mode features and built-in mod support.
10 Short O'Heart
Transform Shadowheart Into A Halfling Or Gnome
- Mod Author: SydMeier
One common critique of Baldur's Gate 3 is the lack of racial diversity among its main characters. This Patch 7-compatible mod addresses that by transforming Shadowheart into either a Halfling or a Gnome, offering a new visual style for this beloved character.
The mod’s creator didn’t stop at Shadowheart. It also introduces humorous size transformations for other characters, including Minithara (Minthara), Lil'Zel (Lae'zel), and Shortash (Gortash). For those who have ever wanted to see party members from a new perspective, this mod provides a fun way to experience that.
9 WarlockCelestial
New Subclass For Warlock Players
- Mod Author: tepkunset
The Dungeons & Dragons universe is well-known for offering a vast array of character classes and subclasses. While Baldur’s Gate 3 gives players a lot of freedom, some options are limited. With this mod, Warlock players can enjoy the Celestial subclass, brought over from Xanathar's Guide to Everything.
Unlike the more offensive Warlock subclasses in the base game, the Celestial Warlock focuses more on support, providing healing spells and protective abilities. This subclass allows players to contribute more to their team, offering a balance of support and offensive power that fits perfectly with Patch 7's gameplay updates.
8 Mystic Class
Brand New Class With Psionic Powers
- Mod Author: Xhevo
One of the most exciting mods added with Patch 7 is the Mystic Class, originating from the Unearthed Arcana sourcebook. This class focuses on psionic abilities, allowing players to manipulate the world around them without relying on traditional magic. The Mystic offers advanced customization with new skills and talents, letting players experience a completely different gameplay style.
For those seeking an alternative to the more traditional classes in Baldur's Gate 3, the Mystic is an excellent choice. It emphasizes mental control, emotional manipulation, and teleportation abilities, giving players a more strategic approach to combat. The mod also includes multiple subclasses. Players can level up to 20, offering hours of new gameplay in Patch 7.
7 Scratch Overhaul
More Utility For The Party’s Best Friend
- Mod Author: KatLix
Scratch, the lovable dog who joins the party early in Baldur’s Gate 3, has long been a fan favorite. Despite his limited dialogue, he plays a supportive role in exploration and combat. The Scratch Overhaul mod, compatible with Patch 7, enhances his presence by allowing him to level up alongside the party, boosting his stats and hit points.
Baldur's Gate 3: Best Origin Characters For 1st Playthroughs, Ranked
Each Baldur's Gate 3 Origin Character has its positives, but some are better suited for an initial playthrough than others.
In exchange for these upgrades, Scratch loses some of his more unique abilities, with the developer balancing these changes to ensure he remains useful without overpowering other characters.
6 Haunted Instruments
Perfect For Bards Looking To Spook The Crowd
- Mod Author: Ariefel
Playing instruments in Baldur’s Gate 3 is already an entertaining experience, but with the "Haunted Instruments" mod available in Patch 7, the fun reaches new heights. This mod gives Bards and other characters access to hauntingly beautiful instruments, complete with visual effects that add a spooky ambiance to their performances.
There are 15 haunted violin variants to choose from, each featuring unique textures and lighting effects. With this mod, players can enhance both combat and musical performance, turning every song into an epic moment that resonates throughout Faerûn.
5 D20 Initiative
Bringing Baldur’s Gate 3 Closer To D&D Rules
- Mod Author: Ponsinoumi
While Baldur’s Gate 3 follows many of the rules from Dungeons & Dragons, the initiative system in the game is based on a 1d4 roll rather than the more traditional 1d20. For players who want a more authentic D&D experience, the "D20 Initiative" mod fixes this discrepancy.
This mod, updated for Patch 7, uses Toolkit Data to let players download the update directly in-game. For those who prefer more randomness in combat and a system closer to the tabletop game, this mod is a must-have.
4 Dragonborn Reimagined
Improving The Dragonborn Race In Baldur’s Gate 3
- Mod Author: AshtenD
Dragonborns in Baldur’s Gate 3 have a striking appearance, resembling humanoid dragons. However, their abilities in the base game have been somewhat underwhelming. The "Dragonborn Reimagined" mod aims to fix this by making several improvements to the race's gameplay.
With this mod, the Dragonborn's iconic Dragon Breath ability is changed to a Bonus Action, allowing it to be used more frequently in combat. Additionally, Dragonborn characters gain Darkvision and Savage Attacks, making them more formidable on the battlefield.
3 Kuo-Toa Playable Race
Praise BOOOAL And Play As A Kuo-Toa
- Mod Author: Gonzalo_Marcos
During the first act of Baldur's Gate 3, players exploring the Underdark encounter the Kuo-Toa, a humanoid fish race known for their violent tendencies and religious fanaticism toward BOOOAL, their God of Murder. This mod allows players to take on the role of a Kuo-Toa, adding a unique and exciting option for those who want to explore beyond the base game’s race selection.
Best Modern-Day CRPGs, Ranked
CRPG was once thought to be a dead genre, but games like Disco Elysium & Divinity Original Sin resurrected it. Here are the best modern ones.
In addition to making Kuo-Toa a playable race, this mod includes three new magical abilities and introduces a brand-new deity for Cleric players to worship. It's an excellent choice for anyone wanting a truly fresh experience in Patch 7 of Baldur's Gate 3.
2 Faces of Faerûn
More Customization Options For Main Characters
- Mod Author: aloija
Though Baldur's Gate 3 offers a substantial amount of character customization, many players eventually get used to seeing the same faces for their characters. One of the best mods available for Patch 7 is "Faces of Faerûn," which introduces a wide array of stunning new options for customizing the face of Tav.
This mod is perfect for players who want to create a more unique protagonist, ensuring that each new journey across the three acts of Baldur’s Gate 3 feels fresh and original. The creator of the mod paid special attention to detail, ensuring that each face has a distinct and realistic appearance. However, these new facial options are only available for the standard body model.
1 Adjustable Party Limit
Add Up To 16 Members To The Party
- Mod Author: PixellBytes
In the base game of Baldur’s Gate 3, players can only have four party members at a time. While some fans have created mods to increase this limit, Patch 7 introduces the "Adjustable Party Limit" mod, allowing players to adjust their party size to anywhere between 1 and 16 members. This mod makes use of Toolkit Data to minimize bugs often associated with larger party sizes.
This mod offers the perfect solution for those who struggle to choose just four companions. The added flexibility allows more characters to join the journey without compromising stability.
