We are (finally) so back... In all our time covering the additions of new Baldur's Gate 3 console content, a wait between drops has never lasted this long. It got to the point where we thought Larian might have moved on, but they haven't, and we are here.

With the last drop coming on June 23, we've had to wait three weeks for new content, and it's been killer. Thankfully, Larian's hiatus is over, and it has officially vetted, uploaded, and approved ten new pieces of content for Baldur's Gate 3 console players to jump into.

Baldur's Gate 3 Console Players Can Now Play As A Witch Elf And A "Leader"

I'm under no illusion that a lot of effort goes into Larian officially vetting, approving, and uploading new console mods. This wait has been painful, in what has been a sporadic year. Last year, these drops happened almost weekly; this year, we've regularly gone a fortnight without one. However, it's understandable given the studio is likely focusing on its next title — Divinity.

This year has seen the addition of a Yassified Withers, a Werewolf Shadowheart, and a muscly monk, alongside a ton of new classes, subclasses, and QOL improvements, and today's drop is no different.

Below you can see the ten additions you can dive into in Baldur's Gate 3 today:

  • Spell Slot x 2 and Feats Every 2 Levels - Grants an additional two spell slots and allows you to gain a new feat every second level.
  • Free Rain (Ritual Create/Destroy Water) - Makes Create/Destroy Water a ritual spell so it doesn't take up a spell slot.
  • Infinite Illithid Wisdom Check - Illithid Wisdom Check can be used an unlimited number of times without requiring a long rest. Passive.
  • NPC Redesign: Mystra (Vanilla Head) by AzazeL - New visuals for Gale's lover Mystra, the Goddess of Magic.
  • Witch Elf (Custom Subrace) - Adds a new Witch Elf subrace. "Witch elves were a banished faction of high elves who devoted themselves to The Mistress of Darkness. This occultic subrace seeks to corrupt as many elves as possible."
  • Leader Homebrew Class - Adds a custom homebrew class, the Leader. "A Leader's strength is defined by their unique journey to the forefront. Your command abilities flow from your personality and the trust you forge, but your motivations are entirely your own: a hunger for conquest, a need for radical change, or an unshakable conviction."
  • Granny Rings Immersive - Scatters 353 Granny Rings around the lands of Baldur's Gate 3.
  • Dynamic Extra Encounters - Adds dynamic encounters based on player actions to the game.
  • Dice Roll Text Replacer - Replaces dice roll text, such as success/failure, with something more humorous. Apparently.
  • White Ghost Set - Adds a white ghost armor and weapon set.

It's a nice set of additions after a long time out. While both the new class and subrace are great, the dynamic encounters seem to be a real game-changer.
