Kingdom Come: Deliverance protagonist Henry has begun a new adventure, and I'm not talking about Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. I'm talking about Baldur's Gate 3. Through the power of mods, our unlikely hero has found himself traipsing through the Forgotten Realms, starting off with a rather rough exit from the tentacled Nautiloid ship, as RPG splicer and Reddit user unsteak recently shared with the communities of both games.
In a Reddit post, Unsteak says they commissioned neonbutchery, a prolific Baldur's Gate 3 character customization modder, to make head and hair models to allow for a more convincing version of Henry in Larian's RPG.

If possible, they "would love to get Hans in there, too," though it's just Henry for now. Hans as Henry's Guardian frankly sounds even better.
Immensely amused, I reached out to unsteak to ask about their plans for this role-playing crossover. "He's going straight Battle Master Fighter," they said of Henry's fighting style.

Character-wise he probably could’ve been a Paladin, but I don’t think he’ll be using magic at all, as a rule. It scares him!"
The jump to Faerun has understandably been a big surprise to Henry overall. "I think he got there either after he fell from the cliff in KCD2 or the witches in KCD
