A ton of content cut by Larian Studios from the final version of Baldur’s Gate 3 is now accessible again thanks to a particularly exhaustive mod
Given the tidal wave that was the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 in 2023, many players may be unaware that it was in early access for almost three years. During this period, only act 1 was available and underwent a huge number of changes in the final version that we know today. Video game archaeologists can therefore take advantage of a recently released mod to (re)discover the content cut from the game between its early access version and the current one.
Major restoration work anticipated on Baldur’s Gate 3
A new mod for Baldur’s Gate 3, aptly called ” Early Access Scenes Restored ”, is available for download on Nexus Modsand therefore for the moment only on PC. This archaeological initiative comes to us from HyperspaceTowel. As its name suggests, it restores dialogues and even NPCs and conversations from the early access of the game. More 100 conversations and more than 1,000 lines of dialogue are now available in the final version of Larian Studios’ masterpiece.
According to the mod creator, while some deletions were understandable, “ a surprising amount still works very well in the final version by Baldur’s Gate 3 “. Players can therefore expect more encounters, camp events, interactions with their companions and, generally speaking, better responsiveness from their companions throughout Act 1. Among the restored contents, we find Gale’s deer stew, the fishermen under his spell and Shadowheart’s ultimatum.
Note that the Early Access Scenes Restored mod is still in production. The modder therefore continues to regularly update it as he detects content cut from Baldur’s Gate 3 which is still relevant in its final version. You will therefore potentially have to come back later for other exciting discoveries in the game’s early access archives. A way like any other to wait until the early access release of Divinitythen its final version, which will also very likely experience its share of profound transformations, in short.
