But this time, a player brought Michael Jackson to BG3.

Fan recreates the magic of King of Pop in Baldur’s Gate 3 

A Baldur’s Gate 3 player has taken the internet by storm by creating a character resembling Michael Jackson. This was done through a Nexus game mode uploaded on December 17. Basically, the mod replaces the Astarion head model with a sculpture they made. However, the mod does not include LODs, but players can get access to a present file that changes hair color, skin color, and other appearing features. Courtesy of this created mod, the fan was able to bring a Michael Jackson resembling character into the D&D universe. 

The description of the mod states that the recreation is intended as humor. “Astarion about to moonwalk,” the description reads, referencing MJ’s iconic dance move.

While there have been plenty of top-tier cameos lately, this fan creation from Baldur’s Gate 3 takes the community back to the early days of pop culture evolution. A legendary entertainer exploring the realms of the dark D&D is everything you need to celebrate the game’s GOTY victory!

As expected, themod immediately became a viral trend among the community. The picture attracted a lot of attention from Baldur’s Gate 3 players. Let’s have a look at some of the interesting reactions to the frame.
