Baldur’s Gate 3 fans, here is something special for you today. Last month, a mod was teased for BG3 that aimed to implement a real-time combat system to it. And today, we are happy to report that its first WIP version is available for download.

In its current state, the Brawl – Real Time Combat Mod is only meant to be used with standalone game modes, like Trials of Tav. For those unaware, Trials of Tav is a roguelike mod for BG3. With these standalone game modes, the mod appears to be working ideally. So, if you want a bug-free experience, I suggest using it with that roguelike mod.

The modder is also working on making his mod work with the game’s single-player campaign. However, right now, you might encounter a lot of bugs and issues with it. But hey, who am I kidding here? Despite these warnings, I’m certain that a lot of Baldur’s Gate 3 fans will try it with the SP campaign. Just make sure to back up your save files.

You can download the Real-Time Combat Mod from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a video for it. This video will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from it. So, be sure to watch it.

Speaking of BG3, I also recommend downloading this HD Texture Pack for it. This pack will greatly enhance a lot of the game’s textures. Created by WestAard, this pack uses AI tools to upscale the original textures. As such, the modded textures retain the art style of the original ones.

Baldur’s Gate 3 came out in 2023 and took the industry by surprise. Larian has done a terrific job with it. So now, I’m curious to see what the studio’s next game will be. From what we know, it won’t be Baldur’s Gate 4. Still, let’s hope that it will be up to the standards that BG3 set.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
