Baldur’s Gate 3 Warrants a Spin-Off About Another Great Forgotten Realms Villain
After being mysteriously referenced throughout Baldur’s Gate 3, one dark presence from Dungeons and Dragons deserves a spotlight of its own.
From modders and artists to prop makers and costume designers, Baldur’s Gate 3’s cast of colorful characters has always inspired the game’s vast community of content creators. Over the last year, Redditor Frau_Haku has become a notable member of Baldur’s Gate 3’s extremely talented cosplay community. In her latest post, the designer, creator, and model has shared some close-up images detailing some of the intricate costumes and jewelry used in some of their stunning cosplays. The costumes in question feature the dress used in her stunningly demonic homage to Mizora, Shadowheart’s underwear, and the outfit worn by Raphael’s hellish concubine Harleep.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Fan Shows Off More Incredible Costumes
Replying to comments about her work, Frau_Haku has revealed some of the processes behind her creations. Using transfer patterns and 3D printing alongside quality materials like natural leather, each costume can take several weeks to complete. Aside from the hours spent to achieve the meticulous levels of detail, these materials don’t come cheap – the replica of Shadowheart’s iconic underwear alone costs over $300. More demanding costumes must surely be far more taxing on the creator’s free time and wallet, but the Baldur’s Gate 3 community recognizes the effort cosplayers spend on recreating characters from their beloved game. Frau_Haku’s own phenomenally life-like Lae’zel cosplay has enjoyed the top spot on the /rBaldur’sGate3 subreddit for over 7 months with over 70,000 upvotes.
Aside from the community’s fantastic creations, fans also have more to look forward to in 2025, as Larian has confirmed everything coming in Baldur’s Gate 3’s final content update. Patch 8 will introduce photo mode, 12 new subclasses, and crossplay between all platforms. This confirmation of cross-platform play will be a relief to many fans looking forward to the promised feature, which was originally expected for the game’s release. Gamers will soon be able to stress test the upcoming patch in January, although the update will not be released until later in 2025.
