New Mod with Dynamic Behavior System Makes Companions in Baldur's Gate 3 More Independent
An enthusiast has added more initiative to companions while exploring the world.
Modder ExcelsiorOne has released a new mod for Baldur’s Gate 3 called Ambient AI, which noticeably livens up the behavior of companions outside of combat. The modification adds a system of dynamic actions, thanks to which party members begin to react to the environment without direct player intervention.
Now, companions independently light torches, candles, and lamps nearby. When near chairs, benches, or beds, they can sit down or even take a short nap, restoring a small amount of health. In addition, companions examine paintings, statues, and mirrors, and study strange devices such as globes, telescopes, and ancient mechanisms.
The mod's capabilities do not end there. Characters pay attention to tombstones, use water pumps and blacksmith bellows, and can also independently break cracked walls, opening new paths. If there are no interactive objects nearby, the companions do not freeze in place, but simply stroll around.
The "smart selection" system deserves special attention. Companions collect useful items — weapons, gold, scrolls, potions — but do not clutter their inventory with random junk. At the same time, protective restrictions are provided: characters will not steal other people's things and will not equip the found equipment without the player's participation.
