Well this is the best news ever. I hope they’ll offer tools for creating new maps too as I’d love to see modders add their own quest lines.
- That would be a really smart move by Larian, effectively creates an infinite market for the game. Say what you will about Skyrim and Bethesda but that game still shits money
  
  It would be a smart move by larian, but there is worry that wizards of the coast/hasbro, owners of Dnd, would not allow that. Currently they are pushing their micro transaction subscription "Dnd beyond" tabletop game. While not quite the same thing as BG3, I wouldn't be the most suprised if some core coop features from the base game aren't fully Implemented.
- For cross-platform support, direct level editing and changes to core game elements (like story, cinematics, dialogues, quests, and local gameplay adjustments) can’t be facilitated due to technical constraints and platform-specific guidelines.
  Damn that doesn’t sound promising but they don’t specify if adding new areas will be supported.
- Make mods sandboxed and add ability to create meta mods for tooling. Idk if that could be done securely but would extend the life of bg3 to forever basically
- I would have to say that's a given, even if you just use out of map.
Boobs everywhere!
- Back boobs, side boobs, thigh boobs, tent boobs, beholder boobs, bulette boobs, Elder Boob.
  
  Y'know what, given some of the things I've beat meat to in the past I'd be down with the Emperor getting a royal rack.
- I want immersive boobs and dialogue that screams "she waved her boobs boobily"
  
  New spells like Morgana's Mighty Mammary Malice
- Just image the things we can add boobs to now! I should pick the game back up.
This game desperately needs and deserves a full Neverwinter Nights style toolkit. I hope we get there one day.
- I think they said a while ago that it won't be getting that unfortunately. It's a shame because the engine really would be perfect for full blown custom campaigns and whatnot, or even non linear open world modules.
  
  I always suspected it’s not because they won’t, but they can’t due to the licensing issues.
  In the end Larian is a subcontractor of Hasbro, who’s preparing their own ‘virtual tabletop’ for a while now.
I just want 6 player multi like older Baldur's Gate games
I just hope we get cross play before everyone gets tired of the game.
- Cross play would be sick -- had a friend go ps5 instead of build a PC due to limited budget. Tried my best to say saving for PC will be way better in long run but here we are.
I knew waiting to play this game would be the right move, it just keeps getting better over time
