An ambitious fanmade expansion for Baldur's Gate 3 is out after almost two years in development

An ambitious fanmade expansion for Baldur's Gate 3, dubbed "Baldur's Gate 3: Act Two Expansion," has been released after nearly two years of development. The expansion, created by modder SquallyDaBeanz, introduces a custom zone called The Chionthar Wilds, a new region to explore that mirrors the scale of Act 1 Wilderness. Players can start adventuring in this region after completing the Shadow-Cursed Lands, or directly through a quickstart button with equipment and hirelings options.

The expansion includes new creatures, items, quests, NPCs, and cutscenes. EXP in the new zones is artificially reduced to maintain the difficulty of Act 3 if one completes a full playthrough. The new characters are not voiced, and some ambitious aspects of BG3 aren't accounted for, such as speaking with dead or animals, or choices in Chionthar affecting the third act. Overall, it's an old-school style CRPG expansion.
