In Baldur’s Gate 3, players can expect the big city of Baldur’s Gate in Chapter 3. One player has now set out to recreate the city in a simulation.
What kind of simulation is this? The player Impossible_Active271 enjoys playing Baldur’s Gate 3 just as much as Cities: Skylines. In the immensely popular city-building simulation, creative minds can create and manage their dream cities.
While famous streamers like Trymacs tend to struggle with city-building simulations, others can create entire metropolises in the simulation. The player Impossible_Active271 has now dedicated himself to Baldur’s Gate, the namesake city of what is probably the best game of 2023.
Here you can see how you can cast two spells in one go:
From roads to highways, from taverns to bars
How did he recreate Baldur’s Gate? Cities: Skylines does not have an option to build medieval buildings, so the player simply brings the city into the modern age.
Roads become highways, taverns become bars, towers become skyscrapers, and even the statue in the middle of the city finds its own version in Cities: Skylines.
The player has also thought of a harbor. Just like in the Middle Ages, a lot of trade takes place in the modern version of Baldur’s Gate. However, the old docks have been slightly upgraded and now feature not only warehouses but also silos for the goods coming into the city.
Here you can see the recreation:
How do players find the city? Players praise the implementation of Baldur’s Gate into the city-building simulation. Ixalmaris finds the work on Reddit simply: “Impressive”.
The user Mathizsias also considers the work on Reddit to be good. He wishes for a new game: “We need a better medieval city builder, that’s all I can imagine.”
Blackarm777 imagines on Reddit how the characters from the game would cope nowadays: “Now I can only think about how Gortash and Orin would get stuck in traffic while carpooling to work.”
While players like Impossible_Active271 express their love for Baldur’s Gate 3 in creative ways, some try to be real villains and attempt to complete the game by exterminating all beings: A player wants to kill every being in Baldur’s Gate 3, but the community knows what he could fail miserably at
