Official Baldur's Gate 3 mod support is on the way, but since it was announced, "threats and toxicity" towards Larian over BG3 has gone up.

    Honestly can’t say I’ve seen any toxicity in the Bg3 communities, except that kerfuffle with the anti LGBT mod stuff. Wonder what sort of toxic feedback they’re getting

      Well, there was also the mod that changed Wyll to be white. There are absolutely gonna be all flavors of bigots trying to “dewoke” the game or some nonsense.

      It’s a game about dragons and inter dimensional aliens. Stfu about what medieval Europe.

        Yeah, but that’s not aimed at the devs. What sort of toxicity would be getting pointed their way, is what I can’t figure out

      They’re also probably the edgelords who screech and cry about their homophobic mods being removed. Because God forbid they see a gay/ lesbian character. 🙄

      From my limited perspective, it seems like the community wants mod support, but they were mad about some combination of these things:

      • Updates and hot fixes don’t come quickly enough
      • Updates sometimes break a large number of existing mods
      • Not enough new features or explicit support for certain mod features being promised
      • Things they promised not working as well as people hoped

      This isn’t everything, but it’s what I observed for myself. As you can see, there’s some contradiction here, and some of that comes from different people in the community, and some of it comes from people who just want to be mad at everything

      For whatever it’s worth, most people seem to be just enjoying the game and are excited for anything new coming for it.

        In other words, things that are normal about game development, especially for games that are still getting updates. Of course an update will break mods, of course there’s going to be some miscommunication, of course there’s going to be bugs in a game this complex and fixing them takes time.

        I’m just glad Larian recognizes that most of us knows how this sort of thing works and to call out that handful who have nothing better to do than to spew their hate on the internet.

        I play on macOS so I’m basically 3 weeks behind everyone’s version and yet I’m super happy with the official mods support, even if I have to wait 6 months to finally get it. I don’t get why people would act like this. This game is awesome!

        There’s some real weird bugs happening in patch 6 and Larian had to roll it back.

        Like that is genuine criticism of pushing untested patch and they admitted to it and will have real QA going forth.

        So it’s not all black as people might have you believe. I never modded it and my Calasor fight got completely bricked. It happens, but really took the excitement from that wonderful arc…

    Sounds like the same kind of people who went crying to Nintendo about Palworld.

    Prosecute someone. Make an example of the stupid neck beards making death threats because their mods aren’t working. We’d all love to see it.

    I swear I’ve seen this guy in an old portrait pack for NWN… Holding a mouse close to his face.
