  • How do Baldurs's Gate 3 mods get to consoles? With over 2000 mods available on PC, we know a lot of you are eager to see some more of them on consoles. Bringing mods to consoles and Mac works a little differently than on PC - they have their own technical limits and guidelines, so we follow a specific process to make things happen smoothly. What is that process, you ask? Let us roll a quick INT check and break it down for you.

    Current console mods can be found here: baldursgate3.g...

    Seriously appreciate the effort to actually test all the mods for the respective platforms. I imagine most people don't have 4 different machines at home to test themselves, but it's also great people who install the mods can be sure they work!
    As a PC player all these limitations seem extremely tedious, and then I remember mods on consoles are rarely ever a thing at all. Which makes the effort Larian is going to seem even more amazing.
    Seeing the approval process is required for every update, would it be good for a new mod to first be available for Windows only, wait a while to see if people encounter any issues/have more requests, potentially fix it, and only *then* submit it for consoles/mac?

    Once more you prove to be a fantastic studio. How many other studios are around that put this much effort in a game, effort that isn't paid for by DLC or any kind of monetization but just because of love for the product and the people that love their game?
    We might not have many game studios in this little country but you can't deny that a true world class one originated and has it's HQ located in my home city.

    @chrispy_091 19 дней назад +1

    This approach is infinitely better than what a certain other developer did. Manually curating every mod has got to be a colossal pain to do, but we definitely appreciate you guys for doing it! Running around with a literal shotgun is something I never thought would happen on consoles and it is amazing!
    ((I hope that we eventually have a mod on consoles that adds more era appropriate guns like muskets. I know a few exist on PC already...))

    It's odd that this game has nudity, but we can't have more nudity on consoles. As if on PC only adults were playing 😅
    Sony and Microsoft policies are a joke in this sense

    • @Cynicz13
      @Cynicz13 25 дней назад +3

      They have been for ages but the reason consoles are more concerned about it is because parents most often will buy younger children consoles before a PC. Now a possible solution to this is parents signing whenever they purchase 17+ or up games so they can't blame the seller for their child seeing content that they disapprove of. They sign for it and have the record in the store. It's on them for buying it and not doing proper research on the game ahead of time. It then puts parents at fault for buying a game if their children are not of the age required for purchase. It's baffling something like this hasn't been implemented.

    • @KarolaTea
      @KarolaTea 25 дней назад +1

      Wait, don't you have to show ID if you buy anything with an age restriction anyway? Whether you leave a signature or not. Law will depend on the country, but I'm guessing you're generally not supposed to give 18+ media to underage children? You can probably make an exception as the legal guardian, being able to judge how mature the child is and provide parental supervision/guidance... but then yeah, that's on you.
      Console brands probably just want a 'clean' image.
      Meanwhile a PC isn't purely used for games, it isn't just a toy, it's something you do work on, and watch adult videos on. Why would Microsoft/Apple have any policies as to what you can do with your computer. If you're on PC you're not restricted to the in game mod manager either, so whatever restrictions are there are probably only down to WotC/Larian.

    • @ShugoAWay

      Yeah the empty week was probably because they were putting in the unnecessary 100 mod limit (there already was a data limit in the corner of the screen and it only punishes the folks that enjoy small mods like new standalone armors, mods that have too many dependency (like the mirror that now takes 5% of all the mod spots)

  • @MuttonTheDragon
    @MuttonTheDragon 25 дней назад +3

    The 5 mods that may or may not exist but I desperately want on console:
    1. Pact of the Tome fixes. In BG3, pact of the tome gives you two worthless cantrips. Unless you have Shadowheart or pick up the Harper amulet, in which case you have three worthless cantrips. The mod would fix the pact so you can pick whatever cantrips you want.
    2. Fizban’s Dragonborns. We already have all kinds of cosmetic mods for Dragonborn, but allowing Fizban’s work to come to Faerün would be huge for my scaly bois.
    3. Aberrant Mind Sorcerer: just saying, imagine roleplaying as a commoner, but the tadpole you get at the start is stranger than normal and it gives you sorcerer powers.
    4. True Polymorph. It’s just character customization that doesn’t change your stats, but it allows you to change your race appearance. A halfling with the abilities of an orc, for example. And no, it’s not disguise self, disguise self doesn’t let you fine-tune your appearance.
    5. Buttstarion. It doesn’t add more nudity or new shaders. It just copy/pastes the existing texture for Astarion’s butt onto his face.

    But anyway, I wonder what mods we will get still..
    It would be nice if not all mods disabled achievements, especially as on PC there are actually mods to reactivate achievements..
    So one could enjoy an entirely new round of gameplay while earning the last achievements..
    Or at the very least, cosmetic mods should not disable achievements

It's what bugged me about Bethesda moding on consoles 50% of pc fallout and skyrim mods are skimpy in some way. I can understand shaders it's a hardware and graphics problem. But if bg3 already has Nudity why not open the flood gates 😂.

    Easy make the mod centered around Astarion and your mod gets top priority no matter if it works or not.
    Why else would hansome astarion get approved over many other requested mods that have been in limbo for far longer.
    Or
    Make a popular meme like "bone daddy" which was also pushed over other mods.
    Or
    Replacing a character with gortash because its a popular meme that ppl wanted to romance gortash.
    Otherwise expect your mods to sit in limbo for several months with no answer
