Mods are one in all my favorite issues about PC gaming, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is not any totally different. Give gamers even the slightest little bit of entry to your code, they usually’ll create entire new video games, beautiful graphical overhauls, and group patches to squash bugs. Then there’s additionally the horrors.
The most recent lovecraftian nightmare to drag into the station is that this mod, named Thomas the Tank Engine. That is it, simply. Thomas the Tank Engine. No elaborations, no try at arcane lore, it’s what you get. Don’t be concerned, he is right here. Nothing can damage you anymore.
The way in which Nexus Mod person RemuFO4’s nightmare works is fairly easy. It replaces one of many Tiefling’s horns with a mesh of Thomas the Tank Engine’s entire physique, simply… glued on to the mannequin. Like a Half-Life headcrab, this parasitic prepare pilots Tav’s physique because it searches for a spot to make its new nest.
I can not think about enduring a 100 plus hour playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3 with this godforsaken beast stapled to your head. Although it is custom for this stuff to be fully unusable, like that one Starfield mod that makes it unattainable to edit your ship.
It being tiefling-only has some unsettling lore implications, too. Tieflings are descended from devils, who’re lawful evil creatures. In most universes, Thomas the Tank engine is a chaotic, malevolent drive: however within the Sword Coast, he has a grand design. That there could also be tieflings descended from his infernal blood recommend that he occupies one of many 9 hells, which is a harrowing factor to contemplate.
Regrettably (or maybe fortunately) the mod would not have facial animations. I do not even know what grim work would make such a factor potential, and I do not need to know. It is virtually higher that he can not converse, grimace, or pucker his lips up for a romantic smooch with Karlach. She’s seen sufficient.
That being mentioned, I am positive somebody will determine it out finally. Thomas is inevitable. We are able to solely take pleasure in these digital worlds for the transient moments they’re free from his choo-choo contact.
