Its a bunch of titty armor modders on their discord with unwarranted self importance who wrote an "open letter to Larian Staff" and one took down the main framework mod as if its holding the game hostage. People are just posting up mirrors because lol its a mod of someone elses game and its files on the internet. They're on strike. They want more "empowerment." its hilarious. You can look it up yourselves, I'll not link directly, but it even has this gem: quote:Signed, I am absolutely glad Larian has told them that their mods are not the priority and essentially told them to go gently caress themselves.

Also our wildshape druid took offense to scratch growling at him. Hasn't been a great playthrough for pets.

I think a lot of younger gamers are encountering the concept of modding for the first time via this game and don’t have the experience of knowing that patches breaking mods is just how it always works and you just have to deal with it because it’s not the dev’s responsibility to support your third-party content.

Relentlessboredomm posted:By this do you mean refreshing them all? deleting and re-adding? Ok so the person who wrote the guide to establishing a baseline took it down. This has nothing to do with titties like the above OP is claiming but is some typical discord BS someone was rude in a position of authority. They gained that position after dating a community manager everyone starts fighting. Dude issues generic apology and bans are upheld. I didn't read any of that because admittedly discord is super loving cliquey so when the green names start fighting the blue names I can only post gifs. Pushing to live on a Tuesday so you don't have a weekend of chaos seemed like the smarter thing to do but the "we demand kisses" audience was too loud. Also they could just use beta branches This depends a lot on what you have installed and I'm going off memory because it wasn't archived but I've had to do this a bunch. YMMV Open your appdata\local\larian studios\baldurs gate 3 folder. Go inside the folder that says mods and delete everything or just drag the contents to a spare folder on your desktop or something. You also need to go into player profile in the same bg3 directory and delete modsettings.lsx Go into your steam install directory in the Baldurs Gate 3 Folder find the folder called data leave the individual files alone delete every folder that isn't "Localization" \ Go to the bin folder in your BG3 steam install If you have installed Party Limit Begone Multiplayer Patch then you need to remove all Baldurs Gate 3 exes. So bg3.exe Bg3_dx11.exe and whichever one has the .backup name. If you have script extender installed then you need to remove Dwrite.dll If you have Native Mod Loader installed you need to remove bink2w64.dll then rename bink2w64_original.dll to bink2w64.dll Verify the intergity of your files on steam. It will detect the EXEs are missing and download them again. Launch a game and start a new campaign on the nautiloid to make sure the game is clean. Invite your friend to see if they can join. From there you have to install your mods in small batches to see which one is causing the issue.

In the good ol days you could just tell steam "I'm fine with this version of my paid content" The update on launch toggle has definitely tripped me up. But I'm not on twitter so don't @ me

Should have expected that from Lae'zel, really.

Geekboy posted:I have now completed the game at least once with every class. I just finished up a honour mode run as, though I did not mind leaning into the OP builds to do it after a more casual approach in previous runs. Did Asterion MC as Sword Bard, Karlach Monk, Laezel TB Barbarian Thrower and Shadowheart light cleric until her story wrapped up in act 2, then Minthara Paladin the rest of the way. I normally don't do the honour mode sort of thing, but I did really like how it forced me to commit - I lost Gale to a couple bad roles immediately and thought about restarting, but I had managed to get the Everburn Blade and didn't want to bother. Then I really seriously thought about restarting when the Owlbear cub bugged, I guess because I killed the parents in the wrong order? I didn't want to miss out on that guy, but plowed on anyway. I managed to get every other outcome I wanted right up until mid act 3 when the wheels came the gently caress off. Recruited Yurgir to help vs Raphael, the jerk uses the first turn of the combat to knock Korilla down to single digit health then he hides. I use half my barb thrower's first turn to throw Korilla into the corner and knock her out. Raphael uses the next turn to one shot Hope making saving Korilla loving pointless anyway, and thus began the most intense loving 40 minutes of video games I've played in a long rear end time. 10+ revivify scrolls, all my superior potions, skin of my teeth I get through it. Boy did I feel loving stupid for my post a couple pages back kinda laughing at someone who thought killing the pillars made Raphael stronger. I had badly misunderstood what happened, I thought it just dropped his AC lol. Then I hosed up the Minsc fight, still don't know how, he fell down knocked out and died to a tick of fire damage the next turn. He hadn't taken fire damage, and there didn't seem to be any source near his body but I likely overlooked something. Byebye Jaheira too, there was no conversation option for "I don't know what happened I tried to so loving hard to save him I have no idea how he died" Then to cap it off I got cocky in the Iron Throne and Ravenguard paid the price. Limped across the finish taking no chances at all through the last few encounters but came away feeling more satisfied with that run than any video game I'd played in a long, long time. I've had many thoughts about the most broken items across my time playing bg3 but I think the real answer is https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Helmet_of_Arcane_Acuity -- why yes I would like +10 to spell attack rolls and +10 to spell save DC as soon as I've taken an attack action with a couple inspirations on my bard. I do though want to backup whoever said not to bother with Minthara until she's patched better, everyone else was such a dick about me becoming a Vampire Lord I thought at least Minthy would have my back but nope, just the same stupid spoiler comment she'd been saying about the Emperor since act 2. She occasionally has comments to say when you're out and about and a couple fun interactions in the wyrms crossing area, but the dialogue when you speak to her directly was bugged out almost 100% of the time to be the same.

Since then, they've hired a new PR & Communications director, so we're hopeful that there'll be positive change soon.

I actually tried to read the open letter you signed, but I couldn't finish it because the sense of entitlement overwhelmed me and I fell upon my fainting couch demanding a scented hand-kerchief to mop my perspired brow. No one brought me a scented hand-kerchief and now I am considering writing an open letter to purveyors of hand-kerchiefs to complain. Edit: I read most of it. I am impressed how annoyed I have become over an issue that does not concern me at all.

What is better, a throwing barbarian/rogue/warior or a full throwing eldritch knight? The barbarian is the better over multiple rounds and can inflict knockdown. The fighter has a better first round of combat burst and more utility. I lean the barbarian but the warrior can probably do better optimally geared.

I’d probably give the edge to the barbarian myself, since prone also lets you shut down some legendary actions so having more people who can apply it is good, but they’re pretty close.

Geekboy posted:Wyll is the romance I doubt I'll do again because he's just such a good boy and it's ... pretty boring. Look, if you want the knight in shining armor he's definitely your guy. He is probably more interesting as an Origin character choice than a team member. He's a perfect protagonist. Kinda too perfect. I did Wyll for my evil run. I think weirdly he's actually an interesting origin for it. First off, he makes the sting of losing a companion from playing an origin run a bit better because he'd leave on an evil run anyway. He also has a few interesting RP opportunities because you can play him as a total hypocrite.

The issue with modders gettin angry (even in a polite way) is that the larger ones have a community of followers following them who will dogpile any developer or other modder who gets on their bad side. I've seen this happen so many times in other games. The cycle repeats itself. Folks get even more angry when Larian inevitably has to rush out a hotfix or change a release date or whatever. The safest move is to say nothing.

The cub reveals itself to be a terrible monster after you kill its mother anyway. Am I supposed to be able to summon the cub outside the camp by the way? I don't think I have the option but he's been in camp long enough for me to have had the stroke both Scratch and cub event and everything.

Just finished a power trip run where I ascended Astarion, romanced minthy and generally tried to get everyone their hearts desire regardless of the consequences. Betrayed Orpheus right at the end to become mind flayer queen at Minthys urging, and you don't get an epilogue , even just one with Minthara. Just mind flayers killing everyone, you on a throne on the brain and then nothing.Bah

Only mod I use is one adding WASD movement, because it's insanity to me that the game doesn't have that as an option. I'd even accept using the joystick to move as long as there was an option to keep the hotbars up, but no, any time I grab my controller to move it freezes for a few seconds and the hotbars disappear and I get the radial menu. First world problems I know, but I haaaaate point and click.

All the voice changing mods I've seen modulate an existing actor's performance. Femme Gale doesn't replace the actor with AI, it just pitches up his voice and changes the character model. To me, that is fine. It's a little sus, as the kids say, but so are the "everybody wears lacy underwear all the time" mods and nobody seems to have a problem with those.
