The speedrunning community celebrates a new Baldur's Gate 3 speedrun world record marking a major milestone in the efforts to quickly beat the game.

Redditor Jirkislo titled the post "Cage Invasion," and it's fitting. Every companion in Baldur's Gate 3 has had their face replaced with actor Nicolas Cage's, as have the main villains in the game. They've even been given Cage-ified names such as Cagerion, Cageheart, and Cagelach, among others. Unsettling is the only way to describe it, yet there's a curiosity to it that makes it really hard to look away, as fans will likely want to see who comes next. Others in the thread felt that some of the creations blended alarmingly well, with one gamer even pointing out that he could make a perfect Raphael in any adaptation of the game. He's certainly got the dramatic flair for it.

Will There Be a Baldur's Gate 3 Nicolas Cage Mod?

Unfortunately, the user never shared how they created the images, whether it be via an AI face-swapping app or a Photoshop creation of their own. While Nicolas Cage isn't in the game itself yet, there were even some in the thread calling for it to be made into a mod. Baldur's Gate 3 has plenty of hilarious mods for gamers to try, but the idea of spending upwards of 100 hours with this band of Nicolas Cages is something many players might struggle with, in practice.
