Just a few days in and people have already installed millions of mods for Baldur's Gate 3
Baldur's Gate 3's patch 7 released this week, bringing with it a host of changes including new evil endings, new honor mode actions to fear, and the much-anticipated in-game mod browser for official modding support. Mods made via BG3's official toolkit can now be managed and downloaded by an in-game browser, which will let you install and manage them both for yourself and across a multiplayer group.

«Modding is pretty big,» said Vincke in a masterful deployment of what I believe is the classic and timeless rehtorical technique called understatement.
