Some of them kind of seem to be all the way up their own ass, or at least the ones who bother to speak to such peasantry. The interactions I've had, indicate that they can't differentiate or handle criticism towards Larian, and tend to take it personally.
I mean these are professional coders and they are just as capable as the ones hired by the company. Calling it “fanmade” kind of minimizes it because this is not something the average fan can just pull
Yes that is exactly what I missed in the game. Why can't we try and kill as many of the army that will attack Baldur's Gate? There should have been an immersive way to follow the army and do some damage, save some villages etc...
I always thought it was weird how we just completely avoided the fact that we’re basically traveling the same way as the army was and we just wind up basically at BG unscathed or any interaction with the army. I was like “uhh okay” 😅
@@SimmaChode Yeah after playing the 3rd act and watching some videos about Larian Studio's development issues it's clear, they ran out of money and time after the second act. They wanted to do so much more and yet the resources limited them to the current game, which is a damn good one still. Would have been great to see them bring out dlcs and expansions after Launch to fix it, but I also understand that they don't wanna work on this IP any longer....
OK, new NPC's will work perfectly, you just need to find decent voice actors. Seen mods with great quality VA's before. You'll have to be careful that your mods don't change how the party would react in the future story-wise, or that they'd have a reason to act differently...you could even add a few of those NPC's in Act 3 to meet again and comment on what has been done, just to make it seem more connected. And as for the party dialogue...I hope you can do some very careful splicing of voice lines to create new dialogue. Because that's very important in a game like this. You want that connection, and the interaction and comenting on the events from Shadowheart, Karlach, Astarion, etc. The good news is, most characters have hours of dialogue so most common words will be there dozens or even hundreds of times with different inflections to coincide with different moods, and so you won't even be stuck using the same way it was said over and over again (either that or use all of that dialogue to train an AI, but that doesn't feel very ethical)...the bad news is, that would require a LOT of work. Probably creating a database of each word spoken by each character then sorted by roughly what kind of tone it's usable for. All of that is just to dress up the experience, since you'll still need to program enemies, path the map you have to make, plan for loot...
I just had a hasted Karlach solo* the Avatar of Bane and never drop below 100hp, no healing. I'm not sure adding more time to level is going to improve overall gameplay
The maps and extra combat/loot would be cool and all but i think most people love baldur gate for the story. So if this doesnt add more dialouges and cutscene. It doesnt really provide much than just delaying the story progression. I hope it does.
@@VeteranJoystick I tried searching for the mod creator in nexus mod but have no luck. Found someone with the same name of twitter and youtube, but the stuff related seems more towards halo. Could you point me a way so i could get myself updated with the mod development?
I'm hyped as long as it doesn't get riddled with fetch quests or walking simulator quests, like: go to A and do 1, run all the way to B and do 2, go back to A and do 3, Go to C and do .....
Honestly, what makes baldurs gate what it is, it's not the gameplay, comabat or exploration. It's the interaction with your companions and their reactions to everything you do. Without that, more maps are just useless. Hopefully future campagins will include Ai voicing to fill that gap.
I was thinking the same. I applaud the mods for their hard work and skill but without additional dialogue, cutscenes and game consequences this doesn’t do anything for me, so I can’t share the excitement but I’m glad for the ppl who are
And the thing is they have to make all that and npcs with side quest, enemies and chests with loot drops, and even hidden treasure. That’s a ton of work
@@VeteranJoystick All for zero profit, its kinda insane. but i guess they gain experience working in a improv dev team and also passion for a great game.
@@MonoDreehave u never seen skyrim mods? there’s a mod coming out hopefully next year that will recreate the entirety of oblivion in skyrims engine and it will be free. also have u never heard of fallout london? an entirely new storyline with its own voiced quests, map, choices, lore all in the fallout universe. and its out! for free!!
@@euclid4703 i have heard of and seen all those things. the still doesn't stop me from being in disbelief that they do so much work. the passion is impressive
That would beat the purpose of it. You can customize other characters why do you need to customize the emperor so bad to the point of erasion of the story lol
@ I just don’t like putting all that effort into a character I’m only going to see a few times, they could have easily made it a side character that works for the emperor instead of being catfished by the emperor.
This should have been in the game to begin with. But excited for the mod. Hopefully it’s not too buggy like some of the ones that were made for Skyrim.
@@Jack-yv3po AI GENERATED? 😂 Brother that’s my voice, and footage I’ve recorded or been sent from the mod authors. If you use your ears and listen you’ll learn they’re all still in development, so what link exactly are you expecting? It’s not available to download.
Modders are some of my favorite people!!
Literally keeping games like Skyrim, Fallout 4 alive and relevant.
Mine too! Legends.

I can’t wait for more to come out
You and me both!
I hope we all can help fund this creator to encourage more projects like this from him and other modders
holy crap. Fanmade Act 2.5 is crazy
I mean these are professional coders and they are just as capable as the ones hired by the company. Calling it “fanmade” kind of minimizes it because this is not something the average fan can just pull
What????? that's beyond every expectation.
Thank you modders.
I hope this get ported to ps5 mods

Ngl I hope that the mod adds more Halsin dialogue. Would be interesting to explore magical ideas about the seasons
I'm really hoping for this sort of modding. I'm so glad there are cleverer people out there. I just don't know how the storyline will work.

Yeh for sure. There’s some awesome voice actors involved already. Still a long way off release and a lot of work to do but it will be worth it!

These mods are all adding new cutscenes and are voiced by voice actors! Will be a while before release but worth the wait!

Shit. This is huge. Still a long way to go, but man does it sound good. Can't fucking wait 🔥🔥🔥
Larian did the lords work by giving us the keys to the kingdom and said "have at it. Impress me!"

I hope we get this on console as well, because it looks amazing ❤️
How are we gonna get the voice lines thou?
I'mma wait for hell dlc
Will it come to consoles mod manager
And the thing is they have to make all that and npcs with side quest, enemies and chests with loot drops, and even hidden treasure.
That’s a ton of work
It’s a massive community. Some projects have 100 people working on them lol

Don't tease us like this. I guess i know what is going on my "Have to Have" list.
When we getting a mod that makes that custom character we make for our dreams into a real person instead of a mind flayer catfish?

Thought it was an official uncut content dlc not a fanfic mod ☹️
Console or no?
Unlikely 😢
So cool
PC mods are damn Crazy😂😂😂😂
....wandering around in a bland forest is exciting?
🤦🏻♂️ It’s literally in the earliest stages of development. Be patient.
I assume it will be on pc only
Yes, at least initially I’m afraid 😢
Will be coming to Mac (probably not but figured it’d be worth asking)
I’m not sure currently, will keep you posted 😊
Bro I can barley store bg3 on my laptop
I feel your pain, my friend
Avalible only on maybe xbox ps5 will not get theat 😢
Is this mode getting published on nexus?
It will do when released 😊
@@VeteranJoystick is there a way to follow the modder's work and support them?
How to find it?
@ If you head to my channel and look at the main video, all the creators are linked, and you can also join the BG3 modding discord to get involved 😊
I pray it comes to console!
🤞
Ps5 consule must be included.
Console support please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Cant wait for them to start using AI to make new cutscenes
I can't imagine anything more insulting to the creators
Watch they pull a Cyberpunk 2077 and make the mod a new addition to the game
This should have been in the game to begin with. But excited for the mod. Hopefully it’s not too buggy like some of the ones that were made for Skyrim.
it isn't a expansion don't lie. Miss using words is a stupid thing to do.
its making act 2 bigger. expanding the map.. so yeah.. its an expansion. you okay, bud?
Y'all even used "next up"
@@november9046 huh?

Thought after patch 7 that was it no more
These are mods, made by the community
Larian confirmed patch 7 isn’t the final update, more is coming
DLC isn’t expansion. Just call it dlc.
@@KingKrabvoldIV I’ll call it what the mod is called thank you, it’s called Act 2 Expansion.
