Wow, okay, so let’s dive right into this whirlwind of creativity with Baldur’s Gate 3 fans doing what they do best: surprising us all. Picture this — someone out there, probably in their cozy basement or cluttered home office, gets this wild idea. “Hey, what if the Chosen Three from Baldur’s Gate 3 were Magic: The Gathering cards?” And bam, atomicpunk88 drops these mind-blowing concepts online. I mean, I didn’t even know I needed this until now.
For the uninitiated, we’re talking Enver Gortash, Ketheric Thorm, and the ever-mysterious Orin the Red — main baddies of Baldur’s Gate 3, just oozing charisma and relentless villainy. So, almost two years ago, Baldur’s Gate 3 hits the shelves. And to say people loved it? Understatement of the century. It was like everyone couldn’t wait to show off how much the game meant to them. Fan art, mods, you name it. I got sidetracked one afternoon just scrolling through endless creations. A rabbit hole, if you will.
But back to these cards — each antagonist got a special card, and Orin the Red, lucky gal, even has a double with her Bhaal’s Slayer form. Seeing such details thrown into these concept cards, it’s like you can feel the passion pouring out from your screen.
Someone online mentioned, “Hey, why weren’t these guys in the official Baldur’s Gate/Magic collaboration?” Great question. Maybe it was an oversight. Who knows, maybe they were eating too many doughnuts or something during the brainstorm session. But for now, atomicpunk88’s cards are the next best thing.
The game’s developers at Larian, they’ve moved on, wrapped up their final touches on the game some months back. But, honestly, it’s the fans who keep the game alive, adding layers of creativity that I didn’t even think were possible. Anyone tasked with developing Baldur’s Gate 4, oh boy, better buckle up. Following in these footsteps? That’s no small feat.
Anyway, if you haven’t peeked at these fan-made marvels, what are you doing? Go, lose yourself in that fan-driven universe and maybe, just maybe, you’ll get inspired to create something wild too. Or at least have a chuckle at the wonderfully chaotic world that is the internet.
