Summary
A talentedBaldur’s Gate 3fan online has shown off their incredible Withers cosplay, which looks eerily like the decrepit character from Larian’s RPG. While Withers fromBaldur’s Gate 3feels like a slightly rogue choice for cosplay, the execution of this particular one shows it was well worthwhile.
Baldur’s Gate 3was one of the biggest games of 2023, with Larian’s RPG immediately cultivating a massive online fanbase. This has translated into a ton of different fan creations emerging from the community, usually focusing on some ofBaldur’s Gate 3’s most popular companions. There was even oneBaldur’s Gate 3fan who gave Shadowheart a PS1-themed makeover, showing what she would look like in a game released decades earlier.
Redditor fflewiathan shared their cosplay ofWithers fromBaldur’s Gate 3, and frankly, it’s pretty much flawless. It looks exactly like the character who hangs around camp inBaldur’s Gate 3, with one user in the thread requesting, “Can you post the cosplay next time?” It’s a valid question - it absolutely looks like an in-game screenshot, which has been achieved through “makeup and liquid latex work,” according to fflewiathan. However, the eyes have been edited digitally, and the background has been taken from the game. It all builds up to a near-perfect illusion of Withers as he appears inBaldur’s Gate 3.
Incredible Baldur’s Gate 3 Withers Cosplay
Ever sinceBaldur’s Gate 3was released last year, gamers have been captivated by the different characters. The distinct designs of the companions in the game make them an amazing choice when it comes to talented cosplay creators who want to dress up as their favorite characters. OneBaldur’s Gate 3player even created an awesome female Astarion cosplay, showing what the popular character would look like gender-swapped. It’s been cool to see these characters brought to life in such creative ways, and given their popularity, this will no doubt continue long into the future.
It will be interesting to see what route theBaldur’s Gateseries takes next. Without Larian Studios at the helm, Wizards of the Coast has to choose a new developer to take the mantle, and it won’t be easy. Luckily, whatever game comes may have some familiar faces on board. Just recently,Baldur’s Gate 3actor Neil Newbon confirmed he wants to return as Astarionat some point in the future, and having talent involved from the previous game would be a great way to inspire confidence in the next project. Whether this comes to fruition remains to be seen, although it’s an interesting prospect.
