Fans of the Drow race unite – this Baldur’s Gate 3 Drow mod makes the Dark Elf race even more powerful in Larian’s latest Baldur’s Gate entry.
Fans of the popular Forgotten Realms novels will, without a doubt, know about the evil Drow race that resides in the underground city-state Menzoberranzan. The City of Spiders, as it is also known, was once the home of the most famous character in the Forgotten Realms lore – Drizzt Do’Urden. Although this mod doesn’t add the male drow Ranger to the game (heck, Drow aren’t included as an elven subrace in the game), this mod from modder ‘Mharius’ makes playing a dark-skinned elf more immersive through adding proficiencies to both Insight and Intimidation as well as adding a Lucky Passive feature.
In addition to the above, the latest version of this mod also adds ‘Savage Attack’ and ‘Relentless Endurance’ to your character. Players can also download additional standalone packs for this mod that include Drow scimitar, longbow, and long sword proficiency (did anyone mention Drizzt already?). It’s a really interesting mod that will surely be interested in fans of R.A. Salvatore’s Forgotten Realms novels, more specifically those interested in the the Drow.
“What’s more powerful than a Drow you wonder?”, the creator of the mod writes. “A Drow unleashed! For the Way of the Drow is a pathway to many abilities some rightfully consider unnatural. Yet here you can freely indulge in true power incarnate and choose your own destiny!Unleashed, a Drow can master any aspect of existence if only they so choose, even fate itself!”
The ‘Drow Unleashed’ mod can be downloaded via Nexusmods here. There, players can also download the standalone drow packs.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is available now for PC. The game releases next month for PlayStation 5 with the Xbox Series version being released later this year. Last week, the game received its first major patch after numerous hotfixes. Here’s what we wrote in our launch review last month:
“It’s been 22 years since Baldur’s Gate 2, and to this day, we still haven’t received a similarly engaging D&D computer role-playing game, despite plenty of other titles being great games on their own, such as the Divinity series by Larian Studios”, our very own Francesco de Meo wrote. “The latest entry in the series cemented the Belgian studio’s reputation as one of the top RPG studios, giving them the chance to work with Wizards of the Coast to develop the highly anticipated Baldur’s Gate 3. After a long time in Early Access, the third entry in the series is finally out, but does it live up to the hype or even top its predecessors? The answer is a resounding yes.”
