Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 Is Getting Official Modding Support

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.
Make mods sandboxed and add ability to create meta mods for tooling. Idk if that could be done securely but would extend the life of bg3 to forever basically
I would have to say that’s a given, even if you just use out of map.

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 sorry that wizards of the coast/hasbro, would not want or allow that. They are currently 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.

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.
