There's a youtuber by the name of Max0r who has a video called "I Cast Bullet". It's a comedic video review thing and Max0r uses a few mods in it. It's garnered quite alot of attention. Was almost certainly the premise of including Gale with a gun in the writer's room.
@@DarkElfDiva undoubtedly, but availability can be a factor as well. This is one of those projects that they're clearly glad to bend over backward to keep being a part of due to the level of exposure it has brought all of them. Also it's clearly a load of fun for everyone involved.

Well yeah. As the great multiversal hero Samwell El Jeckzone said: "And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you." He's the only cleric who can summon a ranged Spiritual Weapon.
You hear stories about games that ended up total disasters because they realized during the dev process they needed to retool some things, and their parent companies were fully brick wall on even calling a single VA back into the studio to record a few new lines, because they didn't want to waste the money. Larian pushes a free update, after they've gotten all the awards and don't even need to prove themselves, makes a whole completely unnecessary cartoon about it, and gets the entire cast to crack some jokes about entirely user-generated content.
Almost as if a team of passionate devs getting the green light to just do whatever will actually dedicate their effort to figuring how to appease their community, and spend money in ways that will get the game way more success than any 101 marketing campaign ever would.

The fact that Larian Studios is so cool that they’ll make a fun animated short for their free updates and mod support to an already stable-at-launch game is insane. I love them. I want to work for them some day. They’ve shown how to be a gaming company.
I love how it's clear all of the voice actors freaking loved playing these characters, so much so that they keep coming back for these silly shorts. I can tell they're all having a lot of fun!

There's nothing I love more than diving into modding and seeing "Balanced UI Mod (Tweaked for all Controls)" next to "Astarion but Hee Hee" and it just turns him into Michael Jackson (that's a real mod btw). It truly says so much about the beautiful community this game has created.

How to recognize game developer who cares - instead of cries about modding, allows mods but on their terms.
