Look,Baldur’s Gate 3is a great game and all, but there’s one glaring plothole that completely ruins the immersion. I am, of course, referring to the description the narrator provides for Gortash, one of the three antagonists, when we first learn of him in Act 1.
We don’t get a good look at him, but we’re told he’s a “handsome, younger man”. While he’s certainly younger than the other villains, he’s hardly what many of us imagined. In fact, he seems to be getting on a bit, with the years of being an asshole catching up with him. So, a fan has rushed to the rescue, giving us a mod that aims to make Gortash more accurate to his in-game description - for better or worse.

“Gortash Facelift” does exactly what the name suggests, making Gortash look a little younger. The results, however, are almost unsettlingly good. Like, seriously, the man might have the most perfect skin in all of Faerûn. What’s his secret? Whatever it is, it’s probably evil.
But best of all, other players reckon it makes him look like an emo band frontman from the 2000s. This is pretty hard to unsee, particularly since he already has the dramatic black outfit sorted. Reddit user Stoic_Angel even has some name ideas for his band. Fall Out Boytash, My Chemical Gortash, Enver At the Disco - amazing stuff. Although shout out to DeadSnark for giving us his first hit song, “Sugar, We’re Going Down Down Down by the River.”
Gortash Facelift clearly has a lot of fans, as it’s been downloaded over 2,000 times in just one day. I am a little worried that so many of you are down bad for him really. I mean, if you want a bad boy, Astarion is right there. Even if he doessound a little like Stewie from Family Guy.
This is far from the only mod fans are using the enhance their Baldur’s Gate 3 experience. As we covered earlier this month, there’s already a mod thatlets you romance every single character at once. It works by removing everyone’s jealousy, making all of them game for a polyamorous relationship. You’re already sharing the hellish possibility of being transformed into mind flayers together anyway, might as well have some fun in the meantime. And honestly, if you can somehow perform actions that please everyone in your party, you deserve that many active romances at once. Keeping everyone happy is the hardest part of the game.
