An ambitious fanmade expansion for Baldur's Gate 3 is out after almost two years in development

Baldur's Gate 3 is pretty great right out of the box, but it could be argued that its second act lacks some variety. If you aren't endlessly dazzled by shadowy forests and J.K. Simmons, you might have wished you could hang out after the fam…
