It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
This game desperately needs and deserves a full Neverwinter Nights style toolkit. I hope we get there one day.
I think they said a while ago that it won’t be getting that unfortunately. It’s a shame because the engine really would be perfect for full blown custom campaigns and whatnot, or even non linear open world modules.
I always suspected it’s not because they won’t, but they can’t due to the licensing issues.
In the end Larian is a subcontractor of Hasbro, who’s preparing their own ‘virtual tabletop’ for a while now.
I just hope we get cross play before everyone gets tired of the game.
I just want 6 player multi like older Baldur’s Gate games
Boobs everywhere!
Back boobs, side boobs, thigh boobs, tent boobs, beholder boobs, bulette boobs, Elder Boob.
Y’know what, given some of the things I’ve beat meat to in the past I’d be down with the Emperor getting a royal rack.
I too am an Ilithussy enjoyer.
Y’all motherfuckers need Torm.
I want immersive boobs and dialogue that screams “she waved her boobs boobily”
New spells like Morgana’s Mighty Mammary Malice
Just image the things we can add boobs to now! I should pick the game back up.
Well this is the best news ever. I hope they’ll offer tools for creating new maps too as I’d love to see modders add their own quest lines.
For cross-platform support, direct level editing and changes to core game elements (like story, cinematics, dialogues, quests, and local gameplay adjustments) can’t be facilitated due to technical constraints and platform-specific guidelines.
Damn that doesn’t sound promising but they don’t specify if adding new areas will be supported.
That would be a really smart move by Larian, effectively creates an infinite market for the game. Say what you will about Skyrim and Bethesda but that game still shits money
It would be a smart move by larian, but there is worry that wizards of the coast/hasbro, owners of Dnd, would not allow that. Currently they are pushing their micro transaction subscription “Dnd beyond” tabletop game. While not quite the same thing as BG3, I wouldn’t be the most suprised if some core coop features from the base game aren’t fully Implemented.
The current license for DnD products allows for this.
How do you know the terms of Larian’s licensing contract with Wizards of the Coast? I’d be extremely surprised if they haven’t retained the right to have final say over anything Larian does with it.
DnD fan made stuff is covered under the OGL, which allows players to modify and create their own content under the 5e ruleset. That’s why many creators can produce (and monetize) their own stuff without having to pay a license
That doesn’t mean Larian has authorization from Wizards of the Coast to release modding tools allowing for custom content to be created easily.
I mean, they ARE releasing modding tools. And from their Website , it’s clear they also have no intention of preventing mods from outside their pipeline. Also, they don’t have to have ‘authorization’ from WotC to release modding tools FOR THEIR OWN GAME (but they do have to respect certain guidelines)
Changes that won’t be officially supported within our pipeline, like scripting changes or NSFW mods that wouldn’t pass the moderation process due to platform-specific restrictions, may still be packed locally with mod.io’s toolset and uploaded to other mod distribution platforms>
