Does anyone have any mod recommendations?

MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org on 07 Sep 2024 21:29 next collapse

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

The mystic class seems really cool

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

M137@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 20:02 next collapse

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

Halsin and Astarion would be modest Ds I think

Gale however, F minimum

Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca on 07 Sep 2024 22:04 next collapse

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

WadeTheWizard@fedia.io on 07 Sep 2024 22:09 next collapse

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.

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

Easier question might be, how many don’t?

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.

Can I make my own campaign yet?

jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org on 08 Sep 2024 02:54 next collapse

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

CosmoNova@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 07:52 next collapse

Read through the documentation of their newly released modding toolkit and find out, I guess.

cmhe@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 08:48 collapse

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.

PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca on 08 Sep 2024 00:26 next collapse

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.

thesporkeffect@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 03:33 next collapse

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

CosmoNova@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 08:07 next collapse

I have doubts you will find it in their official mod loader at any point and have to use an external source instead.

MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml on 08 Sep 2024 12:07 next collapse

Why do they always disable achievements in modded games? Just let me cheat on singleplayer, not your beer.

The achievement enabling is part of the script extender

jjjalljs@ttrpg.network on 08 Sep 2024 02:13 next collapse

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@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 08:56 next collapse

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.

TachyonTele@lemm.ee on 08 Sep 2024 20:40 collapse

I read somewhere the modding tools are extremely limited because the DnD company doesn’t want people to mess too much with the game.

Someone already figured out how to “unlock” the full thing.

Should we tell them about the Pathfinder thing?

CosmoNova@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 08:02 next collapse

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.

ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml on 08 Sep 2024 14:34 next collapse

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.

p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 08 Sep 2024 16:20 next collapse

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.

fishbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 09 Sep 2024 14:57 collapse

It’s also a way to essentially say, “hey if we release paid dlc, you can’t call it a mod and release it for free”.

CosmoNova@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 20:28 next collapse

Luckily you don’t have to believe me because, as I said they essentially take ownership as they have stated here. There are very rare cases where this exception is the case or even possible. I mean this clause doesn’t start with ‘You own your mod, unless…’ for a reason. It starts with pretty much ‘You do not own anything unless…’. Larian are developers, not good samaritans. They’re hoping to get something out of this and given their next game will be even more expensive, I’m sure this little silver mine will come in handy down the line. Just taking a look at the mods that are trending tells you they take ownership of almost everything by default.

TachyonTele@lemm.ee on 09 Sep 2024 01:02 next collapse

Yes, because you’re using their game, and thier tools, their platform, and their IP to make and release the mods.

It’s not some conspiracy.

CosmoNova@lemmy.world on 10 Sep 2024 08:06 collapse

Who said it is? Jesus Christ some of you fand really are like a cult.

TachyonTele@lemm.ee on 10 Sep 2024 13:38 collapse

Living in reality is not ‘like a cult’.

ChairmanMeow@programming.dev on 09 Sep 2024 06:34 collapse

Larian are now the proud owners of the “Daddy Halsin” mod. Truly an asset to their IP!

Wait you’re looking for evidence? And using logic? Sir this is Lemmy.

Jolteon@lemmy.zip on 08 Sep 2024 19:26 next collapse

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

TachyonTele@lemm.ee on 08 Sep 2024 20:38 collapse

Note that Larian essentially takes full ownership of anything you upload on their own mod Loader…

Every company does.

CosmoNova@lemmy.world on 10 Sep 2024 08:07 collapse

And you’d be surprised how many people forget that and then are surprised when they’re taken advantage of.

TachyonTele@lemm.ee on 10 Sep 2024 13:38 collapse

Who’s taken advantage of? What are you talking about.

MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml on 08 Sep 2024 12:03 next collapse

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

daddy32@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 13:11 collapse

Which klei games have the strongest modding?

MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml on 08 Sep 2024 14:05 next collapse

Hard to say. For Rimworld, there are lots of engine-level mods/fixes and expansions, so i guess this one?

daddy32@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 14:11 next collapse

That one is not from Klei :) I’m asking because I like all the Klei games I’ve tried, but didn’t get much into modding with any of them…

MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml on 08 Sep 2024 14:20 collapse

Oh, right. Really thought it’s from the same studio as ONI and Don’t starve.

From the two, i think oni has more modding?

Mossheart@lemmy.ca on 09 Sep 2024 01:48 collapse

Rimworld is from Ludeon Studios.

a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 09 Sep 2024 14:34 collapse

i would say Oxygen not included has the largest amount of mods with the most impact of the Klei games - Don’t Starve has some nice mods too though

daddy32@lemmy.world on 10 Sep 2024 20:17 collapse

I’ve checked and Invisible inc has a still active modding community too!

Facebones@reddthat.com on 09 Sep 2024 06:14 collapse

This is me. I don’t give a single fuck about achievements, unless ive really enjoyed myself and (usually) only if I’m most of the way via my regular playthrough. Requiring multiple playthroughs is an immediate turn off, too many other games to get to lol.

RangerJosie@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 20:55 collapse

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.

Ardyssian@sh.itjust.works on 08 Sep 2024 23:05 next collapse

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

frigidaphelion@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 23:20 next collapse

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

RangerJosie@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 23:53 collapse

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.

Dozzi92@lemmy.world on 09 Sep 2024 02:28 next collapse

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@lemmy.world on 09 Sep 2024 02:32 collapse

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.

Dozzi92@lemmy.world on 09 Sep 2024 03:05 next collapse

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!

FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world on 09 Sep 2024 03:55 collapse

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

rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee on 09 Sep 2024 13:46 collapse

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.
