ThisBaldur’s Gate 3mod further expands the world from this award-winning RPG and brings an additional ally for players to discover in their adventures across Faerun.
During aDungeons & Dragonssession hosted by High Rollers, theBaldur’s Gate 3cast brought their characters to life with unexpected adventures and funny moments. One of the most memorable interactions was with an imp tasked to open the door of a shop, saying “bing bong” as he did so. Jennifer English, Shadowheart’s voice actor, immediately bonded with the imp and wanted to take him along. Devora Wilde, playing Lae’zel, didn’t agree and felt like the creature would be a burden to the group. Later in the session, Lae’zel ended up killing Bing Bong, but the imp made a memorable impression onfans who requested Larian Studios to add Bing Bong toBaldur’s Gate 3.
While Larian Studios only added Bing Bong toBaldur’s Gate 3by name, some fans modded the imp in the game, which upgrades the creature with new skills, passives, and combat utility. This mod works as a standalone and provides various quality-of-life changes for those using the original Bing Bong Summon mod. Among the changes provided by thisBetter Bing Bong modare a new level scaling system to make the imp get more health and abilities, as well as custom icons and visuals. To properly fit Bing Bong’s original story, the imp can now open doors as it did during theBaldur’s Gate 3 castDungeons and Dragonssession, or be set on fire, as that was the way Lae’zel ended up killing it.
