Sometimes, saving the world from mind flayers and cosmic threats can be exhausting. That's why one creative modder has created what might be the most wholesome addition to Baldur's Gate 3 yet: a mod that allows players to hug their companions through a new spell system.
The "Embrace of Faerûn" mod, available on Nexus Mods, adds several new cantrips and spells centered around physical affection.
How It Works
The mod introduces a new spell category called "Acts of Affection" that becomes available to all characters regardless of class. The primary ability, "Warm Embrace," functions as a cantrip that can be cast unlimited times per day.
What makes this mod particularly impressive is the attention to detail in companion reactions. Each party member responds differently based on their personality and your relationship status.
Beyond Simple Hugs
The mod author hasn't stopped at basic hugs. Higher-level spells include group hugs, comfort spells for distressed party members, and even a "Reassuring Pat" cantrip for those moments when a full hug might not be appropriate.
Community Response
The Baldur's Gate 3 community has embraced this mod enthusiastically, with players sharing screenshots and clips of touching moments between their characters and beloved companions.
