You don’t need me to tell you how highly praisedBaldur’s Gate 3has been since it dropped last August. It’s won multiple awards and is currently one of thetop-selling games on Steamright now. So let’s talk aboutStar Warsfor a bit.
Well, we’re still inBaldur’s Gateterritory, but this relates to a mod for the game that brings some of Lucas’ IP to Larian Studios’ release. As spotted byDSO Gaming, Nexus Mods userPalmaman33has given us the ability to wield a lightsaber inBG3‘s otherwise magical, fantasy-based world.
The modder rationalizes their decision to mix fantasy with sci-fi by saying that “even in a world of dragons and wizards, nothing cuts through the darkness quite like a lightsaber.” Indeed.
[Insert lightsaber sound here]
Palmaman33 goes on to say that the download grants you five color variants of theStar Warsweapon, as well as five variants: Legendary, Very Rare, Rare, Uncommon, and Common. They can be spawned via a tutorial chest from aseparate modor purchased from a trader.
Baldur’s Gate 3really does feel like one of those games that people are going to stick with for some time. Will it have the longevity of something likeSkyrim? Who can say at this stage? It’s a tall order, but someone’s got to knock Bethesda’s 2011 epic off its pedestal sooner or later.
And no, I still haven’t got around to playingBG3yet. Do you think if I keep mentioning that in my posts, my editor will give me a free copy? Xbox Series X if you’re asking…
