How to download and play the real-time battle mod

There is so much to love Baldur’s Gate 3. Players can make decisions that affect the story, select a party from several different companions, and customize each companion through talents, classes, and subclasses. However, one of the biggest appeals of BG3 is the incredibly committed modding scene. This has allowed players to make many changes, from smaller tweaks like adding additional races and classes to much more dramatic mods that change the way the game is played. In some scenarios, moderators even add new game modes, such as the roguelike mode “Trials of Tav”.

One of the many mods available for Baldur’s Gate 3 Players is the Real Time Combat Mod. As the name suggests, this mod changes the combat encounters in BG3 to play in real time instead of turn-based battles. Players can take advantage of a fully customizable QuickCast system, as well as revamped dash and jump mechanics and a mana system with scaling mana costs and regeneration. Everything you need to know to download and install this mod is in the guide below.
