Nicolas Cage’s montages in Baldur’s Gate 3 caused reactions

A Nicolas Cage-themed Baldur’s Gate 3 fan edit isn’t to everyone’s taste. This includes the developers at Larian Studios.

Baldur’s Gate 3 players are a creative bunch, whether within the confines of the game or outside of it.

They are good at creating unique solutions to encounters in the game, such as throwing their deceased mother at a boss. Baldur’s Gate 3 players also invented the world’s hottest speedrunning category.

A fan of the game, who goes by the name u/Jirkislo on Reddit, has taken this seemingly omnipresent creativity to new heights by merging the main characters of Baldur’s Gate 3 with the one true god, Nicolas Cage. Unfortunately for them, the Larian developers didn’t appreciate this supreme art and made it known when someone shared the work on X.

Sharing a small selection of these Nicolas Cage amalgams including fusions with fan favorites like Astarion and Karlach, X user kindofstrange qualified his feelings. “I saw it so now you have to see it too,” they captioned the post.

Reactions were a bit mixed, with some Baldur’s Gate 3 fans calling for a live-action film in which Nicolas Cage would play each character. Others were angry at being subjected to the footage, asking the player “how dare you?” .

Larian was clearly unimpressed and made his opinion on the matter quite clear. “Could you please not,” they asked in response to the post.

kindofstrange clarified things nicely and credited u/Jirkislo’s Reddit post which featured much more of what people call ‘Baldur’s Cage’. It’s below for all you die-hard Cage fans or people who want to submit to the madness.

We’re not too sure how we feel about seeing Cage’s face on our favorite goth girlfriend, but his face is oddly suited to some of the character designs.

Just don’t tell Larian we said that. After all, we have a reputation to maintain.
