May I ask what's wrong with supporting mods according to those people? I don't get it
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. 🙄
Was suspecting something like that...
Maybe it's like
"Damn you Larian! If I can mod the game, I'll never stop playing and my life will fall to pieces! You bastards!"
Having 40 mods made this game playable to me. Vanilla was broken and boring. Needs the spice that is mods.
I honestly don't see how. Could you give some examples of what made it broken? Because aside from a better inventory management system being nice, I hadn't encountered anything that made me think "this game is unplayable in vanilla!"
A few examples I recall. Shadow heart romance was locked out and bugged I had to use a mod to fix it Switches didn't work in that underwater level. Quest items being able to sold was super dumb.
Broken?
Boring? @Spacehooks@reddthat.com are you talking about Baldur's Gate 3 or Starfield? 🤔
I'll accept boring as a criticism because the game definitely isn't for everyone but I'm questioning what mods could even change that
They almost have to be confused and talking about starfield, since until this news, all "mods coming" had indeed been about starfield.
Base game character development was not fun to me and I ended up downloading tons of feats, clases, races, clothing, and spells that were more practical or matched what I want see and severely increased enjoyability. Also added mod to see what people are going to like what answer.
Certain gameplay items where not fun. For example I had a mod that made jumping movement cost and not an action so I didn't get punished for no reason walking to someone in combat.
Can't recall the rest. feel free to disregard my personal experience. I simply did not enjoy it and I would have hated it withi
From my limited perspective, it seems like the community wants mod support, but they were mad about some combination of these things:
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...
Apparently the idiots are mad that official mod support hasn't come fast enough and that official patches break unofficial mods.
That sounds like a great reason to threaten someone /s
