I guess romanced Astarion has a problem with it if you hook up with Mizora now.
Lame.
Hoebag vampire has no business judging that shit. (Though Mizora's gross and I imagine she would give you all sorts of diseases.)

Think I prefer it that way, because every single drow and their spider is a brooding rebel against their evil culture

Played Durge for all of a few moments before realizing there's deaths and murders you can't avoid, and it was honestly interesting. Why not have a super racist and basically disadvantageous companion? Like you enter a smaller town and have to wipe it clean unless you decide to boot the fucker out.

Don't even get me started about Nu-Drow. Lets just ignore all the other cities from the past lore and only have Menzoberranzan and make Red eye Drow bad Loth Drow and not Red Eye Drow good Eilistraee Worshipers fighting to free their brethren from Eilistraee's evil mother. What are the other members of the Drow pantheon doing your guess is as good as mine.

Before they become playable via books they had good stats high resistance to magic and some okay spells. Now all they have is their weapon training, superior darkvision a plus one charisma and the spells keeping the sunlight debuff. They are now one of the weakest races in the game. Goblins, fucking goblins have more potential than a Drow GOBLINS!

Despite shooting several arrows at the camp mirror, it still won't let me change Tavarice's hair!
She's out there trying to be all Dark Urge-y while looking like a half-elf 1992 Mary Page Keller!
This sucks.
Sure I could restart but I don't wanna. lol I'd rather bitch and hold out a tiny bit of hope that the game comes to it's senses.

You need to check her every customisation choice, screenshot it, write it down, than you need to hit randomize and restore the originals, and the edit will work.

I was so sick of that stupid hair! lol!

Baldur's Gate 3's latest patch dropped and there's some drama because the toolkit they released was garbo and lacked a lot of features Divinity Original Sin 2 had like making custom levels and editing dialogues.

However some guy discovered these features are in the toolkit they're just deactivated. And upon reactivating them it works.

It genuinely baffles me Larian is so inept at doing P/R as they have fumbled the toolset for this game since launch and they're still fumbling this bullshit right now. Like they are banning anyone who discusses this on their discord.

I heard map and dialogue making were axed by Hasbro. They don't want modders making free expansions or stories.

That's the rumor however Larian has fumbled this entire situation so badly it makes me think it's actually a mix of Larian's cosmic levels of ineptitude, and arrogance after winning so many awards.

For starters before the game released they said they'd support modding. People were already figuring out how to mod the game before this as it ran on the same engine as Divinity Original Sin 2

Then after launch CEO Swen says that there'll be a toolkit releasing after the PS5 port in September. He also does an interview talking about how the toolset is really raw and that anyone who wants to use it to make something will need a team of developers.

Then they just stop talking about it until earlier this year when fans started continuously asking them about it. They finally said they were working on "cross platform mod support" as if anyone asked for that bullshit. They refused to answer anything about the toolkit.

Then they decide they're abandoning the game and they're not going to release a dlc. They also say they're not going to work with Wizards of the Coast ever again. Swen changes his tune about the toolset and says "nah the toolset is shit we're not releasing it" and says "we're not a tools company" as to why. Saying that his tools are shitty and nobody should use them. Also they wanted to focus on things supported by the cross platform modding support. Because Sony refuses to let them support mods with custom assets.

Then this toolkit releases and it just does shit that was already figured out by the fan community months ago. But half of it is disabled and easily re-enabled within days of the toolkit's release. And now they're banning discussion of it. The toolkit itself is indeed busted as some of it doesn't work out of the box. Like you can't save dialogues because it relied on a translation server they would get automatically sent up to. And according to some of the people working on fixing it, it would've taken an enormous amount of work to properly strip the editor of all of its functions because of how layered all of the features are.

It's just at every avenue they keep giving us cagey vague answers to direct questions. It's like they're allergic to giving basic yes or no answers. For some comparison CDPR said earlier this year that a toolset for The Witcher 3 was coming out this year and then 5 or so months later it drops and it's peak.

Larians hands were tied, but it doesn't mean they couldn't make it deliberately easy for modders to bypass the restrictions they were forced to put in.

I assumed this was mostly the case as well, and the expansion toolkit basically just having an on or off switch for all the stuff people want feels like deliberate incompetence in Larian's part.

It will be interesting to see if anything significant actually gets made with these. Some custom levels? Custom companions?

It'll probably just be coomshit.

I don't think it was. According to people who are working with it right now the toolkit was so layered and every feature relies on something else in the toolkit that it would've taken twice as long to strip everything out properly and account for the bugs that would cause. And they just chose the easy route of turning it off instead.

That's all fully possible once the toolkit gets properly fixed. It's full of a lot of bugs due to not being properly built for use outside of Larian's studio. A good example being dialogue files don't save because they were supposed to be sent up to a localization server.

D&D based games have a really good track record with really big projects. Like a team remade Runescape in NWN2.

I will argue to death that fiendpact warlocks are just normal people with DEMON/DEVIL aids.

Yes this means tieflings are aids babies.
 
I've always wanted to ask Laezel what's the point of githyanki having genders if Gith chooses any wither they have a penis or a vagina to lay eggs. How do male gith lay eggs? Mpreg through ass? Githyanki shouldn't care about having sex if they procreate asexually. They shouldn't even have genders or just be all female like some snakes so it would make sense why they lay eggs. Githyanki are stupid.

Githyanki were humans (human-like) that got enslaved by mindflayers and turned into what they are today so it is not completely unreasonable that the evil frog people still have a small amount of sexual dimorphism.

Laezel is already very odd for a Githyanki as it is. She is not evil which is odd considering practically all Githyanki are evil. She and pretty much every Githyanki often add words from their mother tongue when speaking which is a big no no since it's suppose to be something only used between other Githyanki and common for everyone else.

I chalk it up to Larian or more likely the "loremaster" WOTC provided don't know or care to know about the world. Understandable as the Githyanki are boring and extremely one dimensional as a race and people. The races they ally with (Demon, Devils and Ephelomon) are far more interesting to interact with.

So the asexual mpreg egg laying thing was a Larion thing? And here I thought it was just another DND perversion.

No they have always laid eggs they're former frog mind slaves idk why they lay eggs, but they do. It could be astral realm or from mind flayers experimenting on them none of the books explain why they do.

I am also not that well versed in the astral realm or the Githyanki as I do not like them as a race or even as an enemy or antagonist because as I said before they are boring.
