It's not the kind of ensemble that can be bought at the store, and mercurygin_ notes the costume as her own creation, clarifying in a comment that it's made of EVA foam and thermoplastics. The photography, which goes the extra mile in dynamic lighting that accurately mimics a half-shadowed environment from the game, is credited to MilliganVick. Whatever combination of complex setup and editing wizardry was necessary to make the shoot happen, it definitely paid off.

Whether playing Baldur's Gate 3 as a traditional adventurer or Dark Urge, find Orin The Red at Bhaal's temple to beat her and her cultists in battle.
