Baldur's Gate 3 level editor is cracked open by modders, bringing homebrew campaigns one step closer
A modder has cracked open some disabled abilities in the official modding toolkit for Baldur's Gate 3, making it possible for modders to create new levels.
If they silently ignores this (as they seem to be doing?) it just screams "have your cake and eat it," in regards to whatever WotC imposed on them.
Technically they did not violate the contract. Maybe.
What? You want us to fix this, WotC? Well, you see, that would be quite expensive...
Yeah, this is almost definitely entirely because WotC doesn't want a generic DnD engine for people to share content without paying them.
Now I'm really interested in what people will pull of. I was allways sceptical about customs campaign because I think poeple underestimate the amount of work this will take in this engine. I'm happy to be proven wrong tho
Just another way console gamers have drawn the short straw. 😭
Isn't this part of the bargain one makes when choosing a console over a PC, though? On the one hand, hardware upgrade and homebrew/mod options are slim-to-none. On the other hand, there's less up-front hardware cost, fewer hassles, smaller footprint, and no game compatibility issues.
This isn't Larian's fault, obviously. It's an industry-side issue that's down to Sony, Microsoft, etc. gatekeeping their stores. I don't think it's a fair bargain when the barrier to mod support for consoles seems less a matter of technical considerations and more a product of big corporations not knowing how to monetise or control fan-made content. I'm a console gamer because I've made peace with the lack of Mac support. Feels like the industry wants to punish non-PC gamers sometimes.
