The modders of Baldur’s Gate 3 have once again achieved a feat, as their latest creation allows players to express affection towards both their favorite companions and the game’s most formidable enemies through hugging and kissing.

A recently released mod for Baldur’s Gate 3 allows players to embrace “most characters”in the game, including both beloved companions and formidable foes.

Baldur’s Gate 3 players have been showering it with praise, particularly for its simple yet impactful interactions that add layers to character development during crucial moments in the game.

One BG3 player expressed their gratitude for creating the mod, stating that their Cleric of Lathander had embraced Shadowheart after her significant “breakthrough”in Act 2, which they considered to be one of the most fulfilling role-playing moments/decisions in the game.

Despite being released over a year ago, Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to be a hugely popular game, thanks in part to its dedicated community. Players are fully immersed in the diverse world of this RPG, forming deep connections with the various NPCs in the game.

One person added, “I would like to express my gratitude for this amazing mod! I never imagined that giving NPCs hugs could bring me such joy. I have been sitting in front of my computer for hours, filled with happiness and laughter, as my character gets to embrace all of my favorite characters.”

Upon playing through the game and engaging in a romance with either Shadowheart or Halsin, players have found that the mod includes the option to steal a kiss from NPCs while casting the hug spell.
