A Tekken 8 player has added the Origin characters from Baldur's Gate 3 through a series of mods. Tekken 8 hit the shelves earlier this year and brought a new chapter to the iconic fighting game franchise. With Bandai Namco's title being available for PC, the community has set about creating diverse modifications.
For players with a powerful enough GPU, it's possible to push the limits of the game with an impressive Tekken 8 mod that makes the game's graphics go beyond ultra. Those looking for nostalgia can install a mod that adds a series of PS1 skins for Jin, Paul, and Kazuya. The options go further, with mods changing aspects of gameplay, adding customization options such as more hair and make-up options, the iconic Air Jordan 1 sneaker, and making characters like Goku playable.
This time, however, an inventive Redditor called Doctor_Sauce_ has added the Origin characters from Baldur's Gate 3 to Tekken 8 through a series of mods. By modifying Reina Mishima's default presets, the modder transforms her into the Githyanki warrior Lae'zel, while Jun Kazama becomes Shadowheart, the half-elf disciple of Lady Shar. By tweaking the presets for Azucena, one of Tekken 8's newcomers, another mod allows players to fight adversaries as the barbarian Karlach.
Creative Modder Brings Baldur's Gate 3 Gang to Tekken 8
For those who prefer to play as one of the boys, one of the Tekken 8 mods created by the OP alters Shaheen's presets to add the human warlock Wyll to the game. The mod that turns Claudio into Gale stands out for its clothing physics, with the ambitious human warlock's jacket moving in the wind. Astarion, the High Elf and one of the most popular Baldur's Gate 3 characters becomes playable by modifying Lee Chaolan's presets. Players wishing to install one or more of the mods created by Doctor_Sauce_ can download them for free from their Nexus Mods profile.
While the Tekken 8 community has a significant variety of mods that PC players can install to spice up the gameplay, this world of possibilities goes even further with the mods that Baldur's Gate 3 players can install. Some modifications are more eye-catching than others, such as adding real-time combat, creating a custom map, and recreating Baldur's Gate 2 locations. For those who want an extra challenge, there are mods to make the game more difficult and add a roguelike experience to the Larian Studios title.
