Official modding support is coming, but getting there will take some time.
Oh boy, I can't wait to wild shape into Thomas the Tank Engine
If they pull this off like Bethesda did all those years ago with Morrowind, BG3 could become an eternal classic. Thank goodness they stood up to the plate given Bethesda’s abysmal fall from grace.

You just know that they won’t launch before TES:VI and the inevitable shift to the NEXT engine… oh man.
It will likely be the same as Divinity
Which if you play DnD online your group should have
It blows my mind that mod support isn't a top, day 1 priority.
It massively increases the replayability and longevity of a game.
You also get bug fixes for free from the community.
Making a game mod friendly is a pretty challenging task IMO. I understand why its not a priority for day 1 because first it adds no value on day 1 generally, since it takes time for people to play and then design and implement mods. Second, if your game is barely getting over the finish line, as many AAA games lately seem to be, then you should probably have allocated those resources to making sure basic functioning is good before you add mods.
BG3 really needs a "With fewer shitty puzzles and traps" edition for the main campaign.
some unfortunate takes i see from this accouncement:
theres no mention of the level editor itself being released which would make new campaigns and major edits to base campaign design impossible, beyond editing data like enemies and spells which unofficial mods can already do
also their last game DOS2 had some stupid proprietary audio format so you couldnt add new dialogue (i belive they fuckin nuked any way to export any audio to the editor), which may still be a thing in BG3
No mention of it doesn't mean it's not in the plans, just means there's no mention of it
