The Troublesome Mirror of Magic

Larian's Patch 3 for Baldur's Gate finally brought with it a much awaited feature, the Magic Mirror! I know quite a few people have awaited the ability to freely change their appearance with ease. So that's certainly a welcome addition to the game.

At the same time, this Patch is sadly causing serious issues for people right now, like being unable to save the game. That one seems to be an issue triggered by trading.

Now Larian is already working on the Hotfix for Patch 3, which ho...

The Field of Stars

After several years, Starfield has finally arrived. While overall relatively well received, the game will also surly improve significantly over time. That's the nature of a Bethesda game like this after all and modding will be a central aspect of its future without a doubt.

Now in proper tradition, the game is indeed still based on the same engine that powered both Skyrim and Fallout alike. In fact, it's going even further back then that! Yet unsurprisingly, there have been plenty of ch...

More Baldur's Gate 3 News

After a bit of rather unnecessary drama, Patch 1 and a quick follow up "hotfix" has arrived by now. Among the many fixes and such, it also included Larian's very own "Mod Fixer". 

A welcome addition, even if it doesn't seem to work entirely correctly just yet. As some people seem to unfortunately still have issues with mods working correctly despite of it. 

So currently the use of a separate "Mod Fixer" may still be needed, at least in some circumstances. Though Larian w...

Another Baldur's Gate 3 Update

As Larian likes to provide plenty of numbers about Baldur's Gate 3, it only feels fitting to join in a little. Especially when I had provided some in the last post already.

Now looking at the stats, well over 200000 people have modded their BG3 experience so far since the full release alone through the Nexus platform! That's quite the number of people and indeed more have delved into modding than even reviewed the game on Steam. Download numbers from my mods alone have also more than do...

Baldur's Gate 3 Modding Update

It has been quite the week since the release of Baldur's Gate 3 to say the least! I just checked and so far I somehow ended up releasing 30 different mods, which rather fittingly have also amassed over 300000 downloads combined. Quite the numbers and unsurprisingly, this has kept me rather busy as of late!

Especially as BG3 modding is still in a somewhat shaky state and a number of people seem to suffer from various issues when it comes to using mods. Alas, the causes seem many and hard...

Baldur's Gate Is Open!

The game is released and while there may be some bumps here and there, it's quite the showing! I hope you're already enjoying yourselves immersed into the game right now!

Nonetheless, a little update when it comes to the modding. The full release certainly had quite the impact. Though some mods at least seem to work, if with some weirdness for a few people unfortunately.

Already updated some of my mods and I'm working on some more. Gameplay focused one's right now. When it comes t...

Baldur's Gate 3 - Character Creation

Having released a last little test mod dealing with character backgrounds, I thought it might also be helpful to talk a bit about character creation itself. Primarily when it comes to potential new attire that is.

While the exact details still remain to be seen when the full game releases, I've gained at least some insight into the whole modeling aspect of BG3 by now. So if you're planning on creating a custom female character, I'd consider the following:

Slim body type with one o...

What's that?! The Gate is moving towards us!

Baldur's Gate 3 is moving ever closer, only more so now that it's release has once again been pushed up, if only by a mere 2 hours. I've also familiarized myself a bit further with the modding in the meantime and now released a second minor mod. 

This one somewhat buffs the cleric's trickery domain, giving it some new passive features. With Shadowheart being said domains most prominent follower some people were certainly eager for such, so it was another good test subject!

Wh...

The Baldur's Gate Is Opening!

To get some initial insight into modding Baldur's Gate 3, I decided to begin with something basic yet still utilitarian. 

While this was obviously just a test to let me better understand the modding process, it might still proof useful for some, so I did release it. 

As such, I present: Carry Weight Increased - Up To Over 9000. After all, who doesn't like to hoard copious amounts of shiny loot!? This mod covers you from a rather minor x1.5 increase in carry weight all th...

Beyond The Star Gate?

Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield alike are set to release in the near future. Without a doubt, both will bring with them quite the serious modding potential that I'll be certain to explore myself.

After all, they will surly benefit from some further proper attire options at the very least! Each of them has quite the different overall style as well, which certainly will be exciting to delve into.

Now I imagine that many of you are looking forward to one if not even both of them yourse...

The Return of Color!

Just as previously announced, the hair colors have indeed returned triumphantly. Better yet, to celebrate the rise of this new order of  colors, I have included some new never before available colors on top. 

Let us take a moment to welcome this new age with thunderous applause! 

The hair colors for Magik and Scarlet even work without any of the outfits, though who would want to miss out on those to begin with?!

In other news, rumors of a potential new additio...

The Color Strikes Back!

Laying in wait, far away from prying eyes, the forces of color are gathering in preparation of their triumphant and long awaited return. There's no doubt that the rogue elements won't even know what hit them, for blinded by an explosion of color they will be!

On a more serious note, I decided that it will be best to reorganize the hair colors into one mod, for a safe and secure society, of course. Having them spread all over countless different mods and doubling or even tripling them fo...

The Starfury Enhanced!

The Huntress has finally received her enhanced Starfury attire, which should make her stand only prouder than ever among her companions.

In the end, I decided to provide her refined outfit as an optional update. While still the same mod, this does go back to the old days of the Demon Wasp Suit when it comes to providing only further options to choose what style to go for.

Additionally, there's now again the option to independently restore her collar to pristine condition at all ti...

The Huntress is Hunting Once More

For what you may wonder? One even further refined outfit for herself!

While her current Starfury attire may be quite bewitching indeed already, there's still more room yet for enhancements to be made. Especially when compared to some of the newer outfits that her allies have managed to acquire since its creation.

As such her refined outfit will soon become available, elevating it only further yet and making her as confident as ever! (As well as a little bonus for her on top.)

One Overhaul To Unite Them All!

There's plenty of nice Addons around, yet they are scattered all over and I'm sure at least some people don't even know they exist at all. But now there's finally a remedy! This just released overhaul now contains them all for better organization and visibility alike.

This was also the proper opportunity to make a repeated request happen as well, free Captain Marvel of her skirt! The option to liberate her from said piece of attire should fit well into this new overhaul. A sound additio...

The Storm Is Set Free!

With the update issues solved, the time has finally arrived for Storm to indeed bask in the sun and with proper fitting style at that! 

A welcome sight for sure, as she joins her daring allies in this latest fashion trend. Quite the opportune timing too, as what better way to welcome the heat than this!

Though it might not help her companions in cooling down, even have the opposite effect... yet I have the feeling, they won't mind too much!

Once more her Addon comes in ...

The Rise of the Succubus!

As announced previously, Scarlet Witch finally enhanced her attire, unlocking some coveted further capabilities that any self respecting Succubus should have available without any doubt.

She'll surly make good use of them too, but let's see if her ploy of beguiling her ally and rival alike, Storm, will work out as expected! Or perhaps she'll be able to resist Scarlet's charm? Only time will tell...

In the meantime, enjoy her latest attire upgrade!

Who's going to follow her daring companions next?!

None other than the Scarlet "Succubus" herself! 

While rather unlikely to follow Nico or the Huntress in claiming the coveted trophy of Mod of the Month and instead struggling to even get herself a 5th place finish, just like last time, she has kept her resolve and decided to defy her foes head on!

And what better way to do so, than to step it up with a more daring and naughty style truly befitting a Succubus of her status. Storm may have her shiny trophy this time, but Scarl...

Captain Marvel Is Daring Indeed!

For her Irresistible Warbird attire just got quite the "performance enhancing" upgrade, making it even more irresistible and daring in style yet!

Never has she felt freer nor more confident on and off the battlefield, so you might just want to take her out for a spin. Her allies and foes alike would surly appreciate it!

Naturally, there's again two options for those that prefer no further accessories as well.

It's Over 9000!

Magik's "power level" that is! Without doubt an iconic milestone for our Queen of Limbo, as she stands first among her allies! 

Further more, an event worthy to be celebrated with a little update in the form of yet another color scheme for her just as iconic and certainly mesmerizing attire. A well earned blood red!

But what's next apart from that, you wonder? Let's just say it may indeed be of the more naughty variety!

The True Storm Unleashed!

Finally, the real Storm has arrived and in quite the tempestuous attire at that!

Her allies did well indeed in bringing Storm into the fold. For her new outfit makes her more than worthy to stand amongst the other Midnight Suns in equal brilliance! 

Enjoy Storm, Goddess of Beauty Unleashed!

Something else of note, both Nico and Magik's Enthralling outfits got an more freeing than ever Addon. You'll likely have already checked them out, but if not, you might b...

Yet Another Storm?!

With most of the issues solved that this latest update caused, it should hardly be a secret, but Storm's outfit is indeed being crafted right now!

There's some weirdness with her internal setup because she is a DLC character, which for better or worse, I didn't encounter or have to deal with until now.

But nonetheless, she shall receive her stylish new outfit! To offer some further "exclusive" insight, Storm's new attire will be based on her Midnight Sun outfit. So you can specula...

One Thunderous Entrance!

Is that a storm approaching?! No, it's the Scarlet Witch! Who welcomes her newest companion by trying to steal her thunder right away! Not the friendliest of greetings, though certainly one made in daring style.

Rumors have it that this latest new self of Scarlet is quite influenced by the sinister powers of the Darkhold itself. But who can say for sure. What is however clear is that with an beguiling form and attire like this, she made one thunderous entrance indeed!  Let's see ho...

A Mighty Storm Is Approaching...

But a surprising, furious one that's full of chaotic magical energy! For inside is someone rather unexpected indeed, the Scarlet Witch, Goddess of Chaos itself!

While Storm herself is indeed approaching, the Scarlet Witch has grown too envious of her incredibly stylish allies in the meantime. To remedy this dire situation, she decided that it was high time for her to receive another new, even more daringly stylish outfit herself!

Without a doubt, her new outfit is something to loo...

The Huntress Returns Victorious!

And with quite the bounty indeed, the Mod of the Month trophy and the most daring attire style yet!

The momentous celebration the Huntress threw after claiming her illustrious prize was certainly one event for the ages. While the latest enhancements to her outfit are one sight to behold and she now stands more equal than ever amongst her close companions. 

Not only Magik and Nico will have to look out, as indeed, the Might of the Eversun is burning brighter inside the Huntres...

The Huntress Is Hunting!

And her sights are set on quite the prize! The Mod of The Month award that is!

But will the Huntress and her stunning attire make it and indeed follow Nico in winning this illustrious award? And if she does, will her ensuing party be able to rival or even surpass that of her close ally?

Only time will tell, it seems.

Captain Marvel Reborn!

While already in possession of two rather fine outfits, she not only found herself at an disadvantage, when compared to her evermore daring and stylish allies, but also had struggled to find her true self as of late.

Two serious issue that luckily have been remedied, as she has been reborn into her best self yet!

And once more, she stands proudly and full of confidence not only in her attire, but her identity itself, among her close allies!

Last but not least, let's take a m...

Magik Stepping It Up!

Looks like all that encouragement had the desired effect and helped Magik step it up indeed. Nico might have to look out, as there's some serious competition around now!

This time I also brought the additional Addon for the Addon right along. After all stacking Addons is always fun. So whether you like piercings or not, you are covered.

Hope you enjoy this latest addition for Magik!

More Addons?

As you are some of the most adamant supporters of this modding endeavor, I'm curious to see how interested you are in more "Naughty Addons" for the character outfits?

Feel free to expand on your answer in the comments / messenger beyond the mere vote.

The Rise Of The Midnight Phoenix Of Chaos

Finally, Nico the Midnight Phoenix Of Chaos joins her closest companion, Magik the Midnight Phoenix Of Limbo! 

Two mighty companions that now stand closer together than ever against the near endless tides of evil. Ready to face their foes head on and to overcome them together!

Mesmerizing indeed and can anyone hope to stand against their combined prowess and captivating charm alike?
