Summary

  • Baldur's Gate 3 fans are obsessed with goth gamer Shadowheart from the animated short.
  • They're now compiling mods to try and recreate the look in-game.
  • There are a few you can use together to bring us closer to that version of Shadowheart.

Baldur's Gate 3's final major patch dropped alongside another animated short, ending Larian's ongoing development of the game with a bang. In the short, we get to see how the main characters would look in the real world, and one in particular has got the fanbase's attention.

Yes, I am of course talking about goth gamer Shadowheart. When we cut to her modern-day characterisation, we see her lying on the sofa, playing Baldur's Gate 3 on a PlayStation 5, and cuddling up with Karlach (lucky). Needless to say, fans are obsessed, and are already trying to recreate this look in the game.

Baldur's Gate 3 Modders Are Trying To Recreate Goth Shadowheart

Reddit user BardMessenger24 took to r/BG3mods to see if this could be done. While we are yet to get a mod that recreates the look perfectly, there are a few you can play around with to try and capture this aesthetic.

P4 Bangs Bangs Everywhere by Nexus Mods user Padme4000 can give you similar enough hair, giving Shadowheart black hair with white highlights.

You'll need a mod that lets you change the appearance of companions. The one listed in the thread is Appearance Edit Enhanced by Eralyne.

As pointed out by StiffUpperRichard, you can recreate the cat ear headphones with Deepspace Collection - vol. 1 by Askew.

It doesn't seem that anyone has found a great fit for the clothing yet, but I may have found something that will work in the meantime. XIV Clothing by Sumajin includes a black outfit with a miniskirt and fishnets. It might not be the short skirt/thigh-high combo that we see in the animated short, but it brings us a little closer to the vibe that we're going for.

In any case, I'm sure it's only a matter of time until someone releases a mod that gives us the whole look. In the meantime, we can use these mods to make Shadowheart look a bit more gothic.
