![]() We know that the Early Access saves won't carry over into the full version of Baldur's Gate 3, so there is no harm in experimenting with what's there right now. Gotta Give Kudos Thanks to figs999 and Norbyte for the Patch3ModFixer. It's a shame that the Origins cannot be accessed through conventional means in the Early Access build of Baldur's Gate 3, but fans can at least have a glimpse at what Larian has in store for the full version of the game with the help of the latest mod. Baldur's Gate 3 Module for Candor This module enables Baldur's Gate 3 support in Candor Mod Manager. It's unclear how many Origins and companions will be available in the full version of Baldur's Gate 3, but it's clear that Larian has some great ideas up its sleeve, such as the vampire Astarion. Once selected, the companion associated with the Origin won't appear in the game, so you'll have one less party member to select. It's possible to change the skills and starting stats of the character. The "Listen to Origin Story" button cannot be selected, you cannot change the appearance of the character, you cannot change the race of the character (though you can change some features, like selectable cantrips), and you cannot change their class (but you can change their subclass). Overall, the EA game-space is interestingly designed, and the story elements are a reasonably complex weave that looks like it will produce an interesting game, provided you can overlook the weakness of some of the 5e rules and combat ( personal opinion, I can't judge if you would share it ).There are some limitations to this mod. Each of the companions takes a position, from heroic through to brutally pragmatic, and they have their own relationships within the world, but their reactions to your choices are not quite the simplistic good/evil you might expect, and I have not found it particularly difficult to have whichever combination I want in the party. The evil companions are also not so obviously evil. If you like playing traditional paladins, you will probably find it easy to choose not so much if you are a more neutral sort of player. There are a number of "situations", both large and small, where you can choose to support one faction or another. You can certainly BE evil in the game by acting as a complete jerk, and randomly stealing/killing, as you can in many games, but in EA, the good/evil positioning is not always so obvious. There seem to be a lot of mods that make DOS2 easier or harder in some way or other you might find some combination of BG3 mods that allows you to enjoy the game mechanics.Īs for good/evil gaming and the existing companions in EA, this is not as clear-cut as in years past. Some of what you want may appear, some not. Additional classes and character capabilities Data manipulation mods ( that change stats and chances of things happening like HP, DCs, damage ) User Interface/Control mods ( including party size and maybe organization/movement ) Mods types I would expect, based on DOS2 examples are : Clearly, some games do attract modders capable and willing to sink extreme amounts of time into makeovers, but there isn't so much evidence of this with Larian. When asked about realtime for the campaign, the modder stated that it would require so much work that it was unlikely to happen. The closest I have found is realtime combat in DOS2 Arena Mode. Various claims have been made that DOS2 has a rtwp mod, but I have not found one on either the Steam workshop or Nexus. Looking at what has been possible for DOS2, I have to say that I'd guess no-one will do a rtwp makeover. That's why I am not a fan of the game right now, but have not walked away from the game either because I remain cautiously hopeful these things will materialize somehow. These would be somewhat the minimum I would need (either as changes made to the game or as mods) to be able to have an enjoyable experience playing the game. You're in luck sir, some of these are already available, so even if it's kinda hard to implement them now, you can bet your ass they'll be available in full release May be some others I can't think of right now. Paladin of Lathander is my all-time favorite character to play in D&D. Oh, and if what I hear is true that Lathander is not among the good gods available in the game for clerics and paladins, I would LOVE a mod adding in Lathander. Reduce DC of dialogue skill/ability checks Get rid of most environmental elemental effectsĪ true pause function during exploration (in single-player) Gathering and moving the party the way most other games do it Of course my #1 mod would be a RTwP mod, but that I don't hold out much hope for. Yes some of that, especially if the "good" side of things ends up weak/lame. I would need mods that change fundamental characteristics of the game. However, for me, mods adding in new clothing or even new classes or races and the like are just superficial fluff. I agree that it is too early to say where the modding scene will go for this game.
