The Finisher

https://baldursgate3.game/news/community-update-35-baldur-s-gate-3-turns-two_143 

Baldur's Gate 3 turned two years old this week, just a few weeks after we finished up our year long BG3 campaign. The headliner news is that since the introduction of mod support in September 2024, fans have uploaded over 8,500 mods and hit 265 million mod downloads… of which over 248,000 were for the “Withers Big Naturals” mod, which you can search up in your own time. So that got me thinking: if you could mod Baldur’s Gate in any way, what would you do?
