[ word of advice : The following article containsspoilers for Baldur ’s Gate 3 . ]
Larian Studios has not traditionally released significant DLCs for its games previously , with bothDivinity : Original Singames only get small additions before their Definitive Editions were released . Baldur ’s Gate 3has already enjoyed regularpatch updates and changes since its launch , which have added everything from enhancive change to a full epilogue . Whatever form the content take , there is no doubt that hoi polloi would love the chance to spend more clip in Larian ’s version of Faerûn .
Baldur ’s Gate 3 is imposing in stature and its best minute are truly memorable , but some early issue with scale suggest an uneven experience .
10More Playable Races
Adding More Races From Dungeons & Dragons’ Extensive Library
One sphere of gameplay inBG3that many have been call out for ismore playable race for customs duty persona . There are manyDnDraces that would work well inBG3 , such as the feline tabaxi and the giant - comparable behemoth . There are also other race that feature inBG3,such as hob , bugbears , and assimar , which are not presently available in character creation . With so many playable races inDnD , there is still no way all could be included in anyexpansion , but give birth a little more variety than the11 classic races already inBG3would be welcome .
9More Subclasses
Giving Players More Customization Options For Their Classes
Larian Studios only scratched the surface when it amount to the plethora of subclasses find inDnD. Most classes inBG3have at least three subclasses to choose from , while clerics and champion have importantly more . However , there are some fantastic options that people are missing out on , such as the hexblade warlock and swashbuckler rogue . While the gist subclasses for each class are present , there is a stack of fun to be had by tote up more in aBG3DLC .
8More Companions
Adding Characters Of Different Backgrounds & Alignments
BG3has 10 recruitable fellow traveler , which might vocalize like a luck , but it blanch in compare to previousBaldur ’s Gatetitles . Adding more in a DLC would open up more interactions , story , and salmagundi for dissimilar play styles . A familiar - basedBG3DLC couldintegrate existing NPCs and promote them to companions , or introduce novel characters for hoi polloi to get to know .
7Consequences For Fighting Auntie Ethel
More Hags Means More Chaos
Auntie Ethel is a witch the political party can die hard into twice inBG3 , but despite Gandrel ’s warning about her coven seek revenge , nothing ever add up of killing her , and the company stay on in their campaign to save the world with no repercussions . Adding more hags to a DLC would be such helter-skelter fun as Ethel ’s sister occur after the party . Even more chaos could be added if the slime eels whisked the party off to the Feywild to get their retribution . Taking on one crone was difficult enough , butan entire coven is surely a challenge suitable of a DLC .
Auntie Ethel seems to be in some distress when first encounter in Baldur ’s Gate 3 , but deciding whether to help her is a very complicated alternative .
6The Upper City Of Baldur’s Gate
Explore The Estates & Delve Into Politics
One expanse that is only glimpsed in the final dismissal ofBG3is the Upper City of Baldur ’s Gate . The Upper City is domicile to the richer habitant of Baldur ’s Gate , and it would be fun toexplore this affluent area and interact with the nobleman and politician who live there . An Upper City DLC could work well as the city will ask to be reconstruct after the conflict with the Elder Brain and , depending onchoices made nearBG3 ’s ending , there could be a power vacuum at the bosom of Baldur ’s Gate ’s swayer . delve into the politics of the metropolis and uncovering antecedently unidentified villains would be a big addition to the story , as well as giving something a little different from more combat and monsters .
5Expand Minthara’s Story
Giving The Drow Paladin A Better Three-Act Story
The companions ofBG3are complex and nuanced , realistic role thanks to their well - write backstories . However , not all companion are created equally and while the main core of companions get to shine during the course ofBG3 ’s three - act story , one is left rather in the low temperature . Minthara does not gain from a fully fleshed out personal pursuance like any of the other companions . In fact , once she is levy , that seems to be it ; although she has issue with Orin and wishes to see her vote out , this case takes blank space as part of the primary plot .
Thanks to a giant Patch 5 , good - adjust Baldur ’s Gate 3 players can now recruit Minthara . However , enroll her involve some very specific footstep .
give Minthara more attention would allow more people to get to know her better , rather than her being the default evil playthrough companion . Giving her a more substantial personal quest and dig into drow bon ton would be fascinating and reallyallow Minthara to shine as a character . Although digging deeper into Minthara ’s backstory and personality would not be enough for a DLC alone , admit it as a part of any expanding upon would be welcome .
4Dealing With Astarion’s Vampirism
Looking For A Cure Or Dealing With An Ascended Menace
talk ofBG3companions with fully fleshed out questlines , an intriguing melodic theme for a DLC could revolve around Astarion . The plot of land could involve either seeking out a cure for him , allowing him to experience in the daylight once more and starting his life over if he wished . Or , if Astarion move up , consider with the fallout of that determination . An ascended Astarion is noticeably darker and could easily skid into fully evil , sohaving the company have to face him would be very emotional . Perhaps he could be persuaded to stop his nefarious plans , or else the company will have to fight an ascended vampire .
3Helping Lae’zel Fight Vlaakith
Aiding In The Liberation Of The Githyanki
Another companion whose chronicle would benefit from aBG3DLC is Lae’zel . There are many endings for Lae’zel , but if her personal quests were completed and the crèche visit , then she would credibly be leading the fight against Vlaakith ’s tyranny . It would be unbelievable tohave a DLC that rent the dangerous undertaking into the Astral Seato press alongside githyanki . If Orpheus is animated , it would also be absorbing to see the reaction to his riposte , specially if he was the one to undergo the illithid transformation .
At the end of Baldur ’s Gate 3 ’s first routine , the party is told to select between the Mountain Pass or the Underdark , but they can actually call both .
2Finishing Off The Cult Of The Absolute
Visiting Other Areas & Cities On The Sword Coast
While the cult of the Absolute was pore on Baldur ’s Gate inBG3,it would have made sense for them to have agents elsewhere along the Sword Coast . Although all the honest Souls would have had their minds returned to them , if they were n’t transform , there were still other members of the cult who did n’t have judgement flayer parasites . A DLC with the partydealing with the stay Absolute Cult in another urban center like Waterdeep or Neverwinterwould make a great high - tier adventure and allow more areas of the Sword Coast to be explored .
1Giving Karlach A Happy Ending
Fixing Or Removing The Infernal Engine Once And For All
Karlach is a familiar who everyone seems to love , and it breaks everybody ’s heart that there seems to be no hole for her infernal locomotive engine withinBaldur ’s Gate 3currently . A perfect idea for a DLC would be a high point adventure , either in Avernus or on Faerûn , where the party reunify to essay out a lasting solution to Karlach ’s problem . This could take the form of either fixing the railway locomotive or removing it , but giving Karlach a happy ending is surely at the top of many people ’s list .
