Baldur’s Gate 3 Modders Working On Delivering A “Wyll Cinematic Universe”

Compared to all of the other companion characters in Baldur's Gate 3, Wyll's story is by far the shortest. As a result, Baldur's Gate 3 modders are working to rectify that, and want to remedy "Larian's mistreatment" of Wyll, the Blade of Frontiers by creating a Wyll Cinematic universe. Larian Studios continues to release patches that are chock-full of content, including Patch 7, which had many conversations and interesting cutscenes for those who are doing evil playthroughs. Still, there isn't really any content being added for Wyll, the Blade of Frontiers.

As a result, modders take the character under their wing and try to do him justice by creating a new cinematic universe for him. Two modders, Magnetuning and Aimryax, have made it their mission to DIY his story and have started working on a project that they've named the "Wyll Cinematic Universe (WCU)," which will be a series of mods that add to his story and conversations to provide more context for the Blade of Frontiers.

The mod details the steps you need to take in Act 3 to unlock this scene. It is currently locked firmly in the dock camp, and players will need to take a specific course of action to trigger the conversation.

As stated above, Wyll has the least content out of the six origin characters, with his time amounting to roughly eight hours, whereas Astarion, the fan favorite, has 12 hours of content. Compared to the other characters, he seems to be forgotten and left to trail behind the others. Even in patches and updates, there is still a disparity,
