Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod Restores Tons of Cut Content
The Ultimate Cut Content Restoration mod for Baldur’s Gate 3 aims to give fans the most complete restoration of the RPG’s shelved content possible. Created by modder MaxStrengthWizard, the Baldur’s Gate 3 mod brings back more than 90 different previously cut items, including an array of equipment ranging from weapons and armor to consumables and summon items. Multiple abilities are also introduced with the mod, both with specific items granting special perks and re-adding several feats to Baldur’s Gate 3. The modder even teased several more cut items and abilities they plan to restore to Baldur’s Gate 3, teasing new types of armor, items, and even more abilities.
The extensive Baldur’s Gate 3 mod pulls much of its content from the time the Larian Studios RPG spent in early access. Larian Studios first launched an early access period for the RPG in October 2020, with more than 2.5 million players testing a build of Baldur’s Gate 3‘s Act 1. The RPG saw numerous changes from its testing versions with Baldur’s Gate 3‘s full release in 2023, with some companions not available in the early access version. The Ultimate Cut Content Restoration mod also makes it easy to pick up Baldur’s Gate 3‘s previously cut items and armor, adding the new options to both treasure tables for enemies and potential shop inventories.
