After three years in early access, Larian Studios' latest release, Baldur's Gate 3, launched on August 3 to critical acclaim. The game achieved great success, with over 687,000 concurrent players on Steam. Larian Studios promptly released a hotfix patch within 24 hours of the game's launch, addressing over 150 glitches and issues, including split-screen and cross-save related problems. As players continue their adventures in Baldur's Gate 3, one player decided to have some fun by creating a new character in the game's character creator, inspired by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
On Reddit's r/BaldursGate3 subreddit, a user named RobinFromGrimoire gained attention by creating a Dragonborn Monk character that resembled Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The character's face featured purple eye shadow to represent Donatello's iconic purple mask, and green scales were used to match his appearance. Additionally, the character donned leather armor with a yellow and green color scheme reminiscent of Donatello's body. To further capture the essence of Donatello, the Dragonborn Monk wielded a quarterstaff, emulating the character's bo staff.
Within the first six hours of posting, RobinFromGrimoire's post received over 1.4k upvotes on the r/BaldursGate3 subreddit. The timing of the post coinciding with the release of both Baldur's Gate 3 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem did not go unnoticed by other users. The OP was commended for their attention to detail and the quality of their work. Some players even playfully speculated that if an official Monk and Artificer class were added to the game by Larian Studios, Donatello would excel in both. The future plans of the Belgian studio for Baldur's Gate 3 remain unknown, leaving fans curious for what lies ahead.
Players have found ample creative inspiration for their campaigns in Baldur's Gate 3, thanks to the presence of characters like Donatello and Papa Smurf in the character creator. It will be interesting to see what ideas players will come up with in the future.
Currently, Baldur's Gate 3 is accessible on PC and will be released on PS5 on September 6. An Xbox Series X/S version is currently being developed.
