Given the amount of detail required to bring Baldur's Gate 3 to life, one can forgive some of the textures being less than optimal but for those who can't look past the issue, this mod is essential. Larian Studios' massive RPG is more known for its exemplary writing, quest design, and combat than its visuals, which isn't to say the game looks bad but delivering photorealistic graphics isn't its core pursuit. The developers wisely elected to focus its time and effort in other directions, leaving the door open for fans to fix Baldur's Gate 3's most immersion-breaking feature.
Over on Nexus Mods, creator WestAard shared their extensive "BG3 Texture Upscale Project" which does what it says on the tin by taking low-resolution textures and boosting them to 4K. A common complaint about Baldur's Gate 3 is that some of the game's environments appear blurry no matter the graphical settings, a problem that stems from low-res textures being used for terrain and exterior structures. With the help of an efficient upscaler, WestAard's mod upgrades these textures, making every locale better defined and easier to read even with a zoomed-out overhead camera.
