A Baldur’s Gate 3 fan has recreated some of the game’s popular characters by using LEGO. On its release in 2023, Baldur’s Gate 3 became a hit with fans and critics, setting multiple records for players on Steam and winning multiple Game of the Year awards.
The RPG is based in the world of Dungeons and Dragons, and players can meet an eclectic cast of characters. Players even have the option to romance a lot of the NPCs in Baldur’s Gate 3, along with the flexibility to approach any situation however they want. One player has taken inspiration from this level of freedom and has come up with a clever way of taking the more popular characters in Baldur’s Gate 3 and recreating them in the real world.
Baldur's Gate 3's Minthara Makes a Case for a Brutal BG Spin-Off
Minthara from Baldur's Gate 3 may be the game's most obscure party member, but her existence begs big questions for another D&D game.
One fan who goes by the username of Lopiz38 on Reddit has recreated some of the memorable characters from Baldur’s Gate 3 in LEGO form by only using bricks found in the recently released LEGO Dungeons and Dragons Minifigure collection. The post shows Shadowheart, Karlach, Gale, Lae’zel, Wyll, Withers, and Astarion from the game all recreated as recognizable LEGO minifigures that come complete with similar-looking items and weapons found within Baldur’s Gate 3. Lopiz38 rounds off the collection with their own version of Tav, the default player character.
Popular Baldur's Gate 3 Characters Have Been Recreated Using LEGOs
At the time of writing, the replies to the post have been positive, with most replies praising how well Lopiz38 was able to recreate the characters from Baldur’s Gate 3 in such detail. Fans have already requested that the OP tackle other characters from the game, such as Minthara. The original poster sadly confirmed this wasn’t possible owing to the lack of materials from the sets to create an accurate representation.
There is no word of whether an official collaboration between Baldur’s Gate 3 and LEGO will ever happen, but there are still exciting developments coming to D&D that fans can look forward to. Wizards of the Coast are set to update the core rules of Dungeons and Dragons for the first time in 10 years. The new game is set to refresh almost all character classes, along with giving players greater flexibility on what can be done with their characters.
For gamers still exploring the world of Baldur’s Gate 3, a major update will be available in the coming days. Larian is releasing Patch 7 for Baldur's Gate 3 on PC, before rolling it out to Mac and console players. The patch will bring new features, including a new ending to the Dark Urge storyline and the long-awaited player mods.
