Honestly all I want is to replace Laezels nipples with floppy peens. It’s all I ask for. It’s all I want. I love Baldurs Gate 3 but it’s missing this. I cannot hope to be satisfied fully in any other way. Im a reasonably happy guy with a reasonably good life but if someone was to make this I’d pay BIG money. I’m talking more than $5.

I didn't know I wanted this but now it's all I can think about.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 9 points 2 months ago

I know what I'm lucid dreaming about tonight

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

See??? I can’t complete my act 3 playthrough because Laezel is too bare!

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Does anyone have any mod recommendations?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

So far the mod selection seems rather shallow but more and more are coming every day

The mystic class seems really cool

[–] FenrirIII 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Wake me up when the giant breast mods start. That's when people will truly begin modding

[–] M137 3 points 2 months ago

That's been a thing since before the official mod tools.

Better Hotbar 2 is basically mandatory for casters. The of the Longstrider/Jump aoe mods are convenient. Kay's Hair Extensions and P4 Bangs Everywhere are nice if you really like customizing characters. I don't they've been updated to patch 7 yet, but a lot of the class/subclass mods are worth getting; Cleric Subclasses, Rogues Extra, Hexblade, Artificer. sumradagnoth8 and havsglimt on nexus mods have a bunch. 5e spells is also a must have.

Schlongs of Skyrim

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Look on the main page of Nexus mods. A ton of older mods are being updated for patch 7

[–] RangerJosie 31 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I reinstalled BG3 just because I heard about mods coming to console.

I bought it at launch. Played it until my saves deleted themselves right at the start of Act 3. I was broken. It was such a slog for me to get that far. I had to Claw for every inch of progress.

With mods tho. I can cheat. And boy I love cheating. I grew up with Action Replay, GameShark, Game Genie, etc. I've missed them terribly.

[–] Dozzi92 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Play the games how you want to have fun, and anyone who says otherwise is dead wrong. I've dabbled in "cheating" myself, whether it's giving myself 60 pts for starting traits in Zomboid, or building really unbalanced maps in AoE II and preventing the computers from ever advancing, it's fun to sometimes modify the rules to benefit me unilaterally.

[–] RangerJosie 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Games are about fun. As long as you're having fun then where's the harm?

I don't play online games much. And I've never even tried to cheat when I did. I know the difference.

But if it's a single player game and I'm having trouble? Hell yeah I'll cheat. Proudly.

[–] FordBeeblebrox 7 points 2 months ago

It bothers me that stuff like GTA V or Red Dead doesn’t have cheat codes. Memorizing the whole list for San Andreas made you a god when playing with your friends and taking turns. Single player should let you turn on all the wacky physics and crazy mechanics you want

[–] Dozzi92 3 points 2 months ago

Oh yeah, I wouldn't cheat if I were playing with other humans, but sometimes I want to explore depths of a game that time just doesn't permit, so I gotta skip the grind and get right to the part where I'm unkillable. And yeah, if you're having fun, that is the point!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I am a singleplayer cheater, and all the times in the past that I lost massive progress because of glitches and crashes is one of the major contributing factors to it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Did you ever find out how your saves got deleted? Been facing save-related troubles with a similar impact when cross playing between PC and ROG Ally

[–] RangerJosie 3 points 2 months ago

I just heard that right after launch it started happening and apparently they fixed it without much fanfare. At least on single platforms. Like I'm just on Xbox.

[–] frigidaphelion 3 points 2 months ago

I dont have an answer, just want to commiserate as I also had two different characters vanish to corruption or some such

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (7 children)

Klei, Take-Two, Mojang, pretty much built their games on community mods. Heck, even mobile and desktop user interfaces are based on community mods.

Can I make my own campaign yet?

[–] cmhe 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yes, but not with an unmodified toolkit, which opens levels as read-only, and disallows creating new levels. But there is a patch for the toolkit on nexusmods which unlocks the toolkit and makes the map editor and other stuff available. If you know what you are doing, you should be able to edit the main campaign or make your own.

I played around with it a bit, and all I can say, its complicated.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

That's what I want out of the game, really. A full toolkit a la Neverwinter Nights.

Fingers crossed for total conversions. Give me some non-5e rule systems. (Unlikely, I know. Double unlikely to get anything other than maybe Pathfinder, but I can hope)

[–] LouNeko 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Or importing new maps and characters, imagine somebody porting the Resident Evil Mansion or Raccoon Police Station with the Resident Evil Characters. Playing Resident Evil 1 with 5e rules would certainly be something. People have already done it with Men of War Assault Squad 2.

At least 1. And it's compatible with the big race mod that adds basically every single race that ever existed in D&D to the game.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Easier question might be, how many don't?

[–] CosmoNova 8 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Note that Larian essentially takes full ownership of anything you upload on their own mod Loader and that you can still install external mods despite claims from some players that you can't.

I've seen some wild discourse on the Steam forums in recent days so let me remind you: It will take some time for some mods to be updated so stay patient.

You may also run into issues with the update itself even if you never used mods. Larian is aware and recommends a full re-download and installation which of course can be very frustrating. Maybe it's worth waiting a couple weeks or months before jumping back into the game.

1. OWNERSHIP

By accepting these terms, you acknowledge and agree that you do not own or have any proprietary rights in the Game or any Mods you create, except as specifically mentioned here. Any Mods you create are your property only if they consist only of your original creative work. To the extent that any element of your Mod includes or is derived from the Game's intellectual property (such as code, themes, characters, names, stories, dialogue, locations, artwork, sounds, music, and visual effects), you agree that all intellectual property rights therein, whether they are registered or not, are owned by Larian Studios and its licensors.

I'm not sure I believe you about your first point.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That kind of ownership clause is pretty standard for mods, especially when the game officially supports mods. Game studios don't want to run into legal issues if they release some DLC or patch that happens to implement features that another mod included.

Every company does.

Reminds me of how a bunch of mods got integrated into Divinity original sin 2 as optional features.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Some of the UI mods are really good. Gives what can be a bit of a clunky experience some QOL features and look.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Just waiting for the achievement reenabling mod so I can play with some of the real nice QoL tweaks
