Summary

  • One Baldur's Gate 3 player has created a Venom-themed dragonborn character build in the game.
  • The Dragonborn race has been popular in Baldur's Gate 3, inspiring players to create themed character builds.
  • Despite no DLC coming from Larian Studios, the Baldur's Gate 3 community remains active and creative with character creations.

A Baldur's Gate 3 player has created an awesome dragonborn character build, giving them a Venom-themed makeover. Although Baldur's Gate 3 has the potential for some wacky character crossover builds with other franchises, this is one of the coolest seen so far.

The character creator in Baldur's Gate 3 is extremely extensive, giving players the chance to build their perfect protagonist for the adventure ahead. Because of the number of options available, some players can even spend hours just in the character creator before finally beginning their playthrough. Since the game was first released, there have been a ton of creative builds taking full advantage of this feature. One Baldur's Gate 3 player even created an unusual build based on Deadpool, and it's interesting to see another Marvel character depicted in the form of Venom.

Redditor NeverJoe_420_ posted the image of their dragonborn character in Baldur's Gate 3, which uses the Draconic Bloodline subclass to give them the awesome black-and-white appearance. Other gamers in the comments were extremely quick to point out the obvious visual resemblance to Venom, with one player even claiming that "a venom symbiote being a host for Durge would go so hard." While creating a Venom-themed character may not have been the original intention, it's hard to unsee the uncanny resemblance once it's pointed out.

Since the release of Baldur's Gate 3, the dragonborn race has proved to be an extremely popular choice with players. They're the default when a player chooses to play as the Dark Urge, and their appearance is so different from anything else featured in Baldur's Gate 3. As a result, there have been plenty of awesome dragonborn builds since launch. One Baldur's Gate 3 player even made a TMNT dragonborn character, bringing Donatello into the land of Faerûn.

Although Larian Studios may not be producing any DLC for Baldur's Gate 3, the community for the game remains as strong as ever. The developer continues to release new patches for the game, getting it as close to perfect as possible before moving on for good. It remains to be seen how Baldur's Gate 3 will influence Larian's next endeavor, but there's no doubt that the studio has earned plenty of fans for life with its most recent title. Larian remains tight-lipped about whatever the future holds, but it will likely be a long time before the studio is ready to discuss its next project.
