Baldur's Gate 3 holds up shockingly well in first person—so well, in fact, that Larian head Swen Vincke's been gobsmacked by his own game: 'Just look at it'

An image of a Baldur's Gate 3 mod, showing off the beauty of a cave in first person mode - which is shocking, given the game's isometric.

Baldur's Gate 3 has, in spirit, carried on the tradition of mainstream isometric RPGs. Sure, there've been the Pillars of Eternity games—solid CRPGS in their own right—but even Obsidian's doing a pseudo-Skyrim, now, no matter how much it's saying otherwise. Meanwhile, Dragon Age has been getting more and more action RPG with each entry. The top-down flame has been held aloft by Larian & Co alone.

But what if the studio had erred? What if Larian had seen Skyrim and said: "Bet we could do that better"? What if, in some alternate universe, Baldur's Gate 3 was first-person? That's exactly the kind of question asked and answered by Proxy Gate Tactician, a harebrained challenge runner who strapped over six mods together to produce a first-person Baldur's Gate 3 (thanks, Gamesradar).
