Who would win in a battle: Karlach or Kazuya? What about Gale vs. no matter Jack mannequin quantity they’re on now? Because of modder D0ct0rSauce on the Tekken 8 Nexus, we do not have to marvel anymore: They’ve finagled all six of Baldur’s Gate 3’s Origin characters into Tekken 8 to duke it out in a decidedly much less flip primarily based, gentlemanly trend than we’re used to.
Moderately than the sizable activity of implementing them as all new characters, D0ct0rSauce swapped out a few of the alternate skins of Tekken 8’s pre-existing characters for fashions ripped straight out of Baldur’s Gate 3. Karlach is Azucena, Shadowheart is Jun, Astarion is Lee, Lae’zel is Reina, Gale is Claudio, and Wyll is Shaheen. In line with D0ct0rSauce’s descriptions for the mods, they solely substitute two presets per character, and may go away your customized costumes alone.
I modded each BG3 Origin character into Tekken 8 from r/BaldursGate3
D0ct0rSauce shared a pleasant sizzle reel of the mod in motion to the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit. It is as slapstick as you may anticipate such a mashup to be: Highlights embrace Lae’zel squaring off with Kazuya, Astarion and Shadowheart air juggling poor Gale, and Lae’zel slamming Wyll by means of a number of plate glass home windows. RIP to the Blade of Frontiers.
All nice enjoyable, and surprisingly of a bit with preventing video games’ lengthy historical past of visitor spot crossover fighters. Geralt of Rivia’s stint in Soul Calibur strikes me as a very acceptable comparability, however that sequence has additionally seen Yoda, Spawn, and Tekken’s personal Heihachi Mishima present up for a day within the solar. When you concentrate on it, these massive Baldur’s bucks are simply there for the taking if somebody needed to do an official preventing sport cameo. Till that point, you’ll be able to try D0ct0rSauce’s mods over on the Tekken 8 Nexus—every character is à la carte, they usually’ve additionally dropped some Berserk mannequin swaps in there too.
