>Larian ''accidentally'' releases a fully unlocked level editor for BG3 a year ago
>Zero substantive mods have yet to have been created with it

What happened?

Why would anyone want to make mods for a unfinished game

>>720509523 (OP)
People didn't even finish act 1 and you want them to mod the game?

>>720509523 (OP)
Modders are more interested in adding new classes and mechanics.

I think people are making like new areas focusing on combat, id install the game again to try those out but ive done like everything the base game has to offer now so im done with it

>>720509523 (OP)
never played this game and don't know much about it
but im guessing the value in these games is character and story
so someone who makes levels cant really bring much value to the table and wouldn't have much desire to

a writer would have to be interested in this game and get in-contact with a modder
or someone who is both a modder + enthusiastic story writer, which is rare

>>720509523 (OP)
>What happened?

I was gonna say it's because the game doesn't have fun gameplay but it's a million times better than Neverwinter Nights and NWN has A SHITLOAD of custom campaigns, so i've no idea

Probably because 99% of BG3 fans are just incels and femcels who wanted to masturbate to the porn and romance the fictional characters and then drop the game. So there's no actual interest in the setting or the gameplay or the story or anything other than a quick jerk off.

>>720509523 (OP)
I thought it was released a few months ago? either way it will take time for a worthwhile oneshot

>>720509628
I don't actually want to anything except to discuss the game and its modding scene and maybe get some tips on hidden gem mods, so I came up with a prompt that's bait enough for people to reply with inflammatory remarks about it being a dead game or for them to just make up bullshit against a fake out-group of BG3 modders that I just invented that bumps my thread so that people who also want to discuss the game and its modding scene in earnest also see the thread and can reply.

By the time anyone reads this post it will be too late and they're already trapped in here.

Nobody has that much time to work for no money

>>720509523 (OP)
Roughly over 90% of players only got to the first act
Not to mention that game was released as 'done' despite still missing around 75% of content, Act 2 and 3 were about half the amount of things promised, Act 3 being far worse

It was a desperate attempt by them when they saw how better free mods were than their own shitty, inferior updates.

but it's Larian so it'll be forgotten about and retards will buy their next scam and think it's kino despite being about 25% of what was promised

>>720509523 (OP)
People finally finished the game and realized that they don't actually want anything to do with it anymore.

I wanted to make a story set in Avernus where you start as an imp and every level promotes you to the next corresponding demon like it's digimon.
But I have a job and responsibilities, and I don't really care enough about DnD so it will never be made.

>>720510317
The game is already 400 hours long, what more do you fucking want?

>>720509523 (OP)
in another thread some modder said larian didn't provide any documentation, every time they update anything it breaks everything and one of the modding tools is maintained by a tranny in a discord but is only updated every 6 months

>>720509523 (OP)
Larian fans are not nearly as passionate and creative as, for example, TES fans. Even DOS2 had no good mods, despite not being a cinematic slop that doesn't work without full voice acting.

>>720510423
It's more like 2-3 hours, anon
Granted, if you're going for full completion it's around 100 hours due to how slow things are but withour Larian's purposely slow gameplay and design to pad out the game it's about 10-12 hours

>>720509523 (OP)
I think people just don't like Larian's editors, or people just don't have the same interest as before. They also released a pretty good one for DOS2, but no one fucking touched that.

>>720509995
>make a thread in a similar style
>only replies i get are people replying to the bait but no normal posters

>>720511249
Yeah our entire geopolitical system actually got accidentally created in the same way

Oops

>>720511408
so true sister

>>720510774
I'd love to see the 1 hour any%glitch speedrun you're talking about
Hell I'd love to see the 10 hour bullshit where you skip absolutely every side quest.

Truly the most passionate misinformation spreader I've seen on here, spreading straight bullshit for no gain.

this is shadowheart's voice actress
say something nice about her

>>720509523 (OP)
BG3 is a botted game that doesn't actually have a playerbase, just like Cyberpunk.
t. Someone who found a 2 year old broken perk in cyberpiss and found 0 threads on the internet about it

>>720511965
something nice about her

like most games, this is why bethesda excels, it makes games that are easily moddable and invite modding, where as nobody will ever mod witcher 3 or bg3

>>720509628
Literally 51.4% of Steam players have passed Act 1, so the majority of players have done so.

I guarantee there are way more triple AAA games with much, much lower percentage of players that have even got passed the first 3rd of the game.

>>720509579
To finish it

happened tons of times

DnD is a garbage system for retards so it's very boring to mod around it

>>720509523 (OP)
Chinese bot farms don't actually do anything besides buy and launch the game.

>>720513000
Yeah, I can totally see all three nerds that actually care about finishing it recreating the Upper City and remaking the entirety of the third act to accommodate for that lmao.

This game isn't going to have any major mods because it's a game built around voice acting and story and niggers getting uppity about AI means you can't have more shadowheart or whatever means people can't expand her for example. No one is interested in making more maps, and i have yet to see any actual new spells or classes added so who knows how difficult they are.

The best you will get is armor and coom skins.

>>720509523 (OP)
Wasn't there a group making ravenloft/curse of strahd in BG3?

>>720511504
Solasta is underrated.

>>720514539
>a group
It will fall apart and/or never be finished.

>>720509523 (OP)
No one made mod campaigns for DOS2 either and it had a full editor.

>>720509523 (OP)
>NOOOO YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR FREE ON OUR SHITTY GAME FUCKING GOYIM
you will never be todd

>>720514875
Most likely, yes.

>>720515180
Tale as old as time large scale mods like tha only work with a max of two very autistic people working on them, and those two need to be related like brothers for it not to have a 50% failure rate.

>>720514264
Filling in the missing classes/subclasses seems like an obvious choice

>>720515357
I was hoping for that and huge spell expansions but all "new" spells are just reworks of effects already in game and same with classes, nothing new or exciting.

>>720511504
Solasta actually implemented 5e better than BG3, the verticality on the dungeons with proper DC check

>yep time to flood /v/ with rpg threads then spend 10 straight hours screaming about bg3 again
What kind of person comes to mind

>>720515593
It was pretty cool having actual flight and walking on ceilings and stuff.
Also, flying vampire.

>>720515692
reminds me of the mental illness the one guy has who spends all day where watching for elf threads to spam his elf fantasies in and pretend they are real.

>>720515357
I don't have it installed anymore but it seemed like a lot of mods were adding in some new kits. They also all seemed OP as shit but that's probably just them cherry-picking the most broken Prestige Classes that were being farted out by WoTC to sell D&D manuals.

>>720516012
None of those any any new code or effects just edit the stuff in the game

>>720516012
>Prestige Classes
I wish those were still a thing.

>>720510317
you monster

So we're all agreed, can be beaten in about an hour

>>720516779
you mean cuties, 3 of them in fact

>>720509523 (OP)
as an amateur I can tell you with 30% certainty that the game has a really fucking weird file and data structure which makes big modding projects rather difficult

at least when you compare it to Todd's stuff

>>720511732
No one is autistic enough to stick to one game and play every side quests there are when the game storyline wasn't compelling enough, the modders won't be that enthusiastic either to add something new to the game unlike KOTOR 2.

>>720509523 (OP)
is it any good? it's probably unintuitive and shitty. neverwinter nights module editor was so easy i made my own dungeon back in the day but in depth and flexible enough for people to create whole campaigns with cutscenes/scripting etc.

>>720509523 (OP)
well, if you played with editors before, you know this one is complete shit like OS1 and 2. it's hard to use, limited, and obtuse.

>>720509523 (OP)
BG3 isn't a game for proactive people. Its a game for passive normie-adjacent social media addicts.

I know this sounds like bait or trolling but it is the real reason. You want lots of passionate mods you have to make a game that excites creative smart people or at least autists and nerds (which overlap strongly with creative smart people).

>>720515875

But it's fun though to transverse the dungeon without having to jump and failed jump check lmao

this cope gets better every time its posted lmao, just admit the game failed

>>720509523 (OP)
Pretty sure Trials of tav use it right? That's a great mod.

>>720518547
is that why their games are so janky too? their tools are shit?

I don't know shit about game dev'ing, but I fucked around with the NWN and the Warcraft 2/3 world engines back in the day, and they were both incredibly easy to use. Far as I recall, WorldEdit was the actual tool that the blizz devs used to make the campaign. I can imagine that if the tools they use to make the games are shit, then the games are naturally going to come out as janky, buggy shit as well.

>>720511220
>>720518547
Real answers.
>>720517571
No. It is ass to use, most of stuff editing happens in unobvious, bad version of excel. There are multiple unnecessary hoops to jump through to even add loot to containers. For fuck sake, in tes editors one fucking drags items into container and puts the container into the world.
In dos and bg3 one needs to create a loot table (yeah, it is not that obvious too) and add items ids manually in excel into that table and then add table to the container. No one likes their scripting language (3rd party script extender uses lua), but before any of scripting stuff bulk of people just turned away by hard to use simpler functions.
Reason for that is Larian has people, simple as. One guy making items while another focused on shitty loot tables and third guy is responsible for adding properties to objects, etc. Teamwork. And niggers itt expect all this to be done by hobbyists lmao.
Despite that, there are some mods done for bg3 with usage of editor's advantages over manual fucking with txt files. E.g. Spelljammer.

Can I get an invite?

>>720509579
Ask that to the Bethesda modding community

Any mods that restore cut content?

>>720521831
Yeah just keep scrolling the options on the penises, they have uncut ones too

>>720522967
I was gonna make a joke like this.

>>720509579
Can't you read, you retard?

>>720509628
>>720510317
No, he clearly does not want them to mod the game, he wants them to use its level editor. Holy shit, you retards actually can't read. And your numbers are made up and wrong too.

>>720511965
I don't care that she's obnoxious as fuck in real life, she's good at voice acting. More you can say about the average EN VA.

How do we rate Extra Encounters?

>>720510774
how the hell do you beat this game in 2-3 hours lmao

>>720509523 (OP)
you don't need to create levels to play the gay sex part of the game

>>720511872
lmao

>>720522967
>Yeah just keep scrolling the options on the penises, they have uncut ones too

>>720509523 (OP)
Because turn based combat SUCKS.
There's a reason NWN got endless amount of custom maps while nobody touches this.
