Clever Baldur’s Gate 3 Build Let’s Gamers Play as X-Men’s Gambit

A Baldur’s Gate 3 player online has shared their amazing build, which turns Tav into X-Men’s Gambit. It has been extremely interesting to see how players have used Baldur’s Gate 3’s character creator to show off their own unique builds.

When Baldur’s Gate 3 first launched, it became immediately apparent how versatile the tools were for character creation. Not only could players create a visually distinct character, but they could also build their attributes and abilities, allowing for a unique playthrough every time. Players took the chance in many different ways. Some instantly looked to find the most powerful Baldur’s Gate 3 build and cheese their way through the game, while others took a different approach, creating their favorite characters from other franchises. One recent Baldur’s Gate 3 build turned a Dark Urge character into Frank Reynolds from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which is every bit as hilarious as it sounds.

With Larian no longer at the helm of the Baldur’s Gate series, it will be interesting to see how Hasbro handles proceedings going forward. First on the agenda will be finding a studio that can live up to the lofty expectations set by Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian. Hasbro has already confirmed that Baldur’s Gate 4 is coming, although it will likely be many years into the future that this actually comes to fruition. No matter what happens, it’s an unenviable task. There’s no doubt that Baldur’s Gate 3 is the benchmark now, not just for the series, but perhaps CRPGs altogether.
