“Baldur’s Gate 3” has recently reignited the player community due to the topic of new races and new professions. As Larian Studios continues to launch new mod content for the console version, many players have begun to discuss wildly: Is it possible for “Baldur’s Gate 3” to officially add more playable races and categories?
Players now start fantasizing about DLC when they see new classes
In fact, “Baldur’s Gate 3” players have been obsessed with one thing for many years, and that is to hope that Larian will continue to add more races and professions. Especially popular D&D options like Artificer, Goblin, and Tabaxi are discussed again almost every once in a while. A player on Reddit even said bluntly: If Larian is willing to release a professional DLC, I will buy it directly.
What’s even more interesting is that Larian has actually left a lot of room for players to over-interpret in the past. For example, the official used the term “Launch Races and Launch Classes” back then. As a result, players immediately began to think: So there will be non-launch ones in the future?
The problem is that Larian actually said “unlikely” a long time ago
But looking at reality, most people in the industry actually believe that it will be very difficult for “Baldur’s Gate 3” to officially add a large number of new races and main professions. Because the most troublesome part of this game is not just the skills, but the massive dialogue, plot reactions and character interactions. To put it simply, if a playable race is really added, Larian will almost have to refill a lot of voice lines, cutscenes and special dialogues. This is why many players now believe that if there is a major update in the future, the direction may be towards subclasses, module integration, or independent regional DLC, rather than a complete racial and professional expansion.
Larian’s biggest problem right now is that players simply don’t want to graduate.
To some extent, Baldur’s Gate 3 has become the kind of game that players don’t want to let go of. Even though Larian has repeatedly emphasized that it will not make traditional large-scale DLC, the community still starts to dream about new content from time to time.
After all, too many RPGs in recent years end after playing it once, but “Baldur’s Gate 3” has cultivated a group of people who have played hundreds of hours and still restart their characters. Now players no longer even want to know “will it be updated?”, but simply hope that Larian will never stop. To put it bluntly, the most dangerous thing now may not be whether new races are released, but that players have long regarded this game as their permanent residence in electronic D&D.
