Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Lets Players Wield Star Wars Lightsabers
Baldur's Gate 3 players can now roleplay as a Jedi or Sith in the game as the hit RPG has received a Star Wars mod that adds working lightsabers. The person behind the project, who has created other non-lore friendly weapon mods in the past, also already has a new release for the title.
