Baldur’s Gate 3’s Speak with Dead spell just got way more convenient
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game where death comes easily, and developer Larian Studios is more than content to let important characters fall foul of all manner of nasty ends – sometimes even before you’ve met them. It’s handy, then, that the Baldur’s Gate 3 Speak with Dead spell is very easy to access on any playthrough, but it can be a bit of a pain to work out which of the many corpses in the massive RPG game are actually worth chatting to. Fortunately, things just got simpler with one of the best Baldur’s Gate 3 mods.
If you haven’t yet learned how to speak to the dead in Baldur’s Gate 3, there are a few different ways. Even if you don’t have a party member able to do it, almost everyone is likely to come across the Amulet of Lost Voices early in the game’s first act, which bestows the power upon the player of your choice. The problem is that there are quite a lot of dead people around, and a large majority of them don’t have much to say, but you won’t find that out without going through the fairly involved animation process.
Fortunately, a Baldur’s Gate 3 Speak with Dead rework mod from mod creator ‘Cytraen’ changes all that. In the base game, Speak with Dead must be cast on a corpse, after which point you’ll be able to use it repeatedly until your next long rest. This will also highlight corpses with something interesting to say, but only after you’ve used it once and only until it wears off with your next long rest.
Post-rework, Speak with Dead is instead applied to the caster themselves, and it persists through long rests and even respecs, meaning you’ll only have to use it once and you’ll have access to it forever. This also means you’ll always see key corpses highlighted, which is a potentially massive time-saver
