Baldur’s Gate 3 mod restores more than 100 conversations and 1,000 lines of voiced dialogue from the early access version previously lost in the ethereal plane

I played the first act of Baldur’s Gate 3 a few times in early access, which is why I’m always slightly surprised on subsequent playthroughs that there aren’t a bunch of mind-controlled anglers protecting the dying mind flayer you encounter near the start of the game. They were cut in the final release, along with a bunch of dialogue and scenes, much of which has now been restored by modder HyperspaceTowel.

“This mod brings over 100 conversations and more than 1000 lines of voiced dialogue back from the dead”, says the description of Early Access Scenes Restored. It restores a lot of companion reactivity in particular, enabling extra responses to, er, what you see behind the barn door. It’s mostly dialogue for Astarion, Shadowheart, Gale, and Lae’zel, since Karlach and Wyll had different voice actors in early access, though a smaller amount of their dialogue has been restored by splicing existing lines of audio.
