Firstly, thanks to Larian for at least giving a chance to modders to develop their projects Secondly, thanks to modders for their hard work Lastly, thank you for giving us the information we love to know🤝
what these idiots dont undersant is this is how you make your game eternal just look at skyrim the game sucks bugged filled trash yet the modders made dlc sized quest for free that nehesta would price at30 bucks
That Act 2 Expansion in particular, but the other ones as well, have me so so excited. I'm still hoping that someone will bring the scrapped upper city to life, how amazing would that be?
@@VeteranJoystick That's exactly what I heard as well, which is why I'm so hopeful. And maybe Karlach's intended good ending as well? That would make me immeasurably happy. :D
It sure was a shitty moment when Larian announced they won't be making a DLC, nor its sequel. It may be that the only worthy "spiritual" sequel we'll ever have of BG3 will be an upcoming Divinity 3, but man if there's an elder scrolls level of a modding community working on this game , pumping content free of any WoTC influence ... this game could stay relevant for a long, long time. I sure like what I see so far anyways.
Absolutely. And the early signs are so exciting. There’s literally hundreds or even thousands of people working on new content for the game right now, and that’s only going to grow!
@@Quantum_Bluntz Larian actually washed their hands. They dont want to be slaves working on BG4, 5 and 6 for the rest of their careers just bc of corporate greed.
That Act 2 expansion, would be made a million timea better if the community can get a hold of all the companion voice actors and through donations, pay them to add a bunch more lines. Or at the VERY least try to find and hire smaller unknown people that do really good impressions of the characters. All the other ones can get by with just text dialogue or even low budget voice acting but if youre gunna add to the actual games story progression, you need it to feel like it actually fits. I would 100% donate to that one purely for the reason of voice acting.
You and me both! Neil Newbon was actually a voice actor in the recent Fallout London mod, so I feel like there’s at least some small chance he may get involved in BG3 mods!
@@Jules_Diplopia oh shut up lol. using AI allows for creativity within the modding community that wouldn't otherwise be available to most modders. not everyone has hundreds or potentially thousands of dollars to go out of their way to pay voice actors for a mod for a video game that nets them nothing in return. we aren't full on game development studios, so it's the next best thing that provides a little more taste over just simple boring text. while the larger modding teams can access the actual real voice actors for their mods that'll stand out above the rest, its perfectly fine for smaller modders to use to get by lol. they'll just need permission from whoever's voice they're copying if they're doing it that way. the tools are there to use.
I know absolutely nothing about modding or anything in those likes but if this momentum for bg3 modding continue i would love to see like actual DnD campaign modded in. I'm imagining being able to explore Barovia and fight Strahd or something along those lines
oh it will DEFINITELY continue bro, the amount of people that adore D&D and are also insanely talented modders are gonna thrive on this game for years to come. Neverwinter Nights is a prime example. That game is still modded and played to this day, now they have a platform that is modern and potentially just as if not more able to be modded to their desires. hype asf for the future. i dont think we'll see a lot of actual campaigns though, but a lot of people's own creative projects instead.
This. I am glad to see some talented modders passionately working on this stuff. I'd love to see mods that even rework the old world and encounters. Anything where we don't know what's going to happen is exciting.
Console gaming made sense for like 10 years or so but not today. PC is better in every way, cheaper games, better graphics, better fps, mod support, the list goes on and on. You can hook it to your TV and play like a console too so it doesn't even have a downside..
I would really love to see someone create an arena style mod. You start at level one and simply earn exp from each fight, choosing your opponents, earning gold to buy better gear or consumables. Could also work at a horde game mode as well... idk
Do you mean like Trials Of Tav? If you haven’t seen that one check it out! I also covered an upcoming zombies, round based mode coming soon, it’s in a previous video on my channel! 😊
@@omegafish69 Yeah definitely something that would take a few years before it’s ready to be released. The lore potential is insane with all the ancient dragons that Elden Ring has. Would probably have to be an overhaul mod.
Iv been hoping for stuff like this since begining, if we can get quests, companions or even whole dlc's worth of content, this game will live forever. Cant wait.
@@VeteranJoystick Dont even care if they are voiced or not, just new companions, decisions, romances etc. would be absolutely mad. Thanks for the updates, Ill keep an eye out.
i am curious because all the cut content in the base game, when some projects will work to add this back in. but i think this will start right after we know for certain there had been the real last patch which added stuff.
Can the moders create NPCs with new dialogue etc? Maybe using AI for the voices? I dont know much about modding. Like how similar would a modded area with questlines compade to the standard game?
with the voices it would be 10X better to just hire or have volunteers for voice work like sstraight up ai should never be the decision, there are millions of people that can and want to do voice work even for free it's insane AI voices do nothing b
I've never played a CRPG DLC or a custom campaign mod, so there's one thing I'm wondering about. Would these be meant for maxxed out level 12 characters? Would you make a new game and go straight into them? Would you have to reach a specific point in a vanilla playthrough and use that save file to play a custom campaign? I'd appreciate if you (or another commenter) could shed some light on this!
a mix, some would potentially be a continuation, others would be their own separate adventure meant for you to start fresh. it entirely depends on the mod's intentions and the modders desires for it's play. i'd expect both, but probably more of a focus on starting fresh characters for them if I had to guess.
Yea I still think Larian ‘accidentally’ left some lock picks for someone to find and release the full modding kit while maintaining deniability for legal reasons
Not available right now, still in development. Either subscribe to the channel, or the channels I’ve linked below, or the BG3 modding discord to stay up to date!
Roleplaying with AI for 6 months or so, man i would kill for a ingame AI chat like talking to characters real time. It will be added to the game for sure but it would still take some months. There are quite good models already 7-11-22Bs which don't require a lot of resources to work and can be run along with the game. But feeding information into the model without confusing it is the real problem. There must be tons of convertion like adding a flag into every single action and feeding them with explanation into model. There aren't still any model which can look at raw game codes and figure out what is going on, but there might be one in a year or so as AI models are improving rapidly.
Be Honest will console be able to have a chance for these as well? i know they is a issue between some of the mods not sure the actually reasoning but you seem educated well enough for me to ask? This is really cool to see and would give such longevity for us console players as well..
Unfortunately it’s highly unlikely at this stage. Simply due to these mods being created with the toolkit unlocked, which is essentially a cracked version of the mod toolkit, and therefore not officially supported by Larian. It’s not a definite no, but I’d be surprised to see these on console. Keeping everything crossed for you though!
What I desperately want is end game content you get so overpowered by the end of act 3 the final boss is kinda disappointing, more hella difficult content to flex ur aquired loot would be the best
I don’t play this, but wouldn’t it be best to treat this game like its own “engine” and keep releasing various Campaign DLCs? Like just adding in new separate story lines you could play?
Larian is privately owned. They could, and it would be profitable, but they can decide what they want to do. Sven said that their hearts weren't in an expansion, so they decided to do something else.
Most gamers play on console nowadays, since they have a cpu comparable to a decent stationary computer. With the ps3 and ps4 there were a huge difference between consoles and a pc, what they could handle.
PC gaming has seen its biggest growth ever over the last year or so, it’s a massive market and console technology will always be a couple generations behind unfortunately!
Hi,(Creator of the Underdark and Promenada Waukeen here). It is how it work in the map development- first you build a "skeleton" and only then you slowly adding a little details, of course rn its gonna look not in the best shape, Main game maps were created for months.
I think people are too euphoric. Do they really think wotc and hasbro will do nothing whiley they use a modding tool to create their own content freely without paying? There is a reason why larian staff denies any connection to mods, same like yt denies any connection to the videos uploaded. "We only provided the platform" or else wotc / hasbro would sue em. Im a 100% convinced that the mod authors will get CADs (cease and desist) letters, to remove all the content created with an "illegally modified tool" that is their property.
There is practically 0 chance of that happening. If it did, it would kill any good will people have towards wotc and would be horrendous publicity. Besides, they already got a return on their investment, so why would they go out of their way to ruin future potential success that comes through these mods? The only reason larian doesn't mention is it's not officially supported. Also I'm pretty sure they added these features on purpose, it would not have been this easy to get otherwise lol
@@lemin5508 they did add the mod manager and creator for fans to play around within the bonds of the bg3 campaign, yes. What they are heavily denying is that they made it easy for fans to disable the set boundaries of the mod creator which enables them to create entire stories on their own, with a free tool independent of the bg3 campaign. THAT is what is denied at every turn, because THAT can get them in very hot water with wotc and hasbro. i do see it coming, its widely known that the hasbro leads responsible for the dnd corner hate dnd itself with a passion. there where memo leaks etc. you can look it up. something so simple as a CAD on mods that go over the intended boundaries on something they have full copyrights / rights in any sense. you can bet they will take action to ensure people a) either pay more or b) cant use it because it is outside of wotc / hasbros cashflow and they dont profit from it. and you cant blame them its their right by law. heck they could even blame the law saying they are forced to take action because otherwise their ownership would get muddied down which brings more problems down the road (japan for example has laws that force companies to go after fan projects or else they get in trouble with the law themself)
