If this is what can be done without modding tools, then the potential of what could be done when they arrive is extremely exciting.
This particular mod features onNexus Mods, titled “That’s Cringe” from user emsthings. The functionality of the mod is simple - it replaces the disapproval and approval pop-up messages with something a little more Gen Z. The disapproval message has been replaced with “(Character) thinks that’s cringe.” Meanwhile, the approval message now reads “(Character) is screaming, crying, throwing up.” It’s an absolutely bizarre mod that changes the dynamics of thecompanions inBaldur’s Gate 3, and it’s not going to be for everyone.

While Larian is largely done withBaldur’s Gate 3, the game still has a lot of life left in it yet. The modding community will undoubtedly carry the torch for many years to come, especially with the news thatLarian won’t be releasing any DLC forBaldur’s Gate 3. While the studio moves on to pastures new, it will be interesting to see how Hasbro goes about selecting a new developer for the series going forward. Larian’s departure fromBaldur’s Gateleaves a massive void, and it won’t be an easy task for whichever studio takes over the mantle in the future.
