That Act 2 Expansion in particular, but the other ones as well, have me so so excited. I'm still hoping that someone will bring the scrapped upper city to life, how amazing would that be?
@@VeteranJoystick That's exactly what I heard as well, which is why I'm so hopeful. And maybe Karlach's intended good ending as well? That would make me immeasurably happy. :D
@@williamross6477 It would be an insane project... so many NPCs, so many "points of no return" LOL. Fighting chromatic demon and demogorgon or even irenicus first fight on the asylum.. i need it!!
This. I am glad to see some talented modders passionately working on this stuff. I'd love to see mods that even rework the old world and encounters. Anything where we don't know what's going to happen is exciting.
I know absolutely nothing about modding or anything in those likes but if this momentum for bg3 modding continue i would love to see like actual DnD campaign modded in. I'm imagining being able to explore Barovia and fight Strahd or something along those lines
oh it will DEFINITELY continue bro, the amount of people that adore D&D and are also insanely talented modders are gonna thrive on this game for years to come. Neverwinter Nights is a prime example. That game is still modded and played to this day, now they have a platform that is modern and potentially just as if not more able to be modded to their desires. hype asf for the future. i dont think we'll see a lot of actual campaigns though, but a lot of people's own creative projects instead.
Iv been hoping for stuff like this since begining, if we can get quests, companions or even whole dlc's worth of content, this game will live forever. Cant wait.
@@VeteranJoystick Dont even care if they are voiced or not, just new companions, decisions, romances etc. would be absolutely mad. Thanks for the updates, Ill keep an eye out.
That Act 2 expansion, would be made a million timea better if the community can get a hold of all the companion voice actors and through donations, pay them to add a bunch more lines. Or at the VERY least try to find and hire smaller unknown people that do really good impressions of the characters. All the other ones can get by with just text dialogue or even low budget voice acting but if youre gunna add to the actual games story progression, you need it to feel like it actually fits. I would 100% donate to that one purely for the reason of voice acting.
You and me both! Neil Newbon was actually a voice actor in the recent Fallout London mod, so I feel like there’s at least some small chance he may get involved in BG3 mods!
@@Jules_Diplopia oh shut up lol. using AI allows for creativity within the modding community that wouldn't otherwise be available to most modders. not everyone has hundreds or potentially thousands of dollars to go out of their way to pay voice actors for a mod for a video game that nets them nothing in return. we aren't full on game development studios, so it's the next best thing that provides a little more taste over just simple boring text. while the larger modding teams can access the actual real voice actors for their mods that'll stand out above the rest, its perfectly fine for smaller modders to use to get by lol. they'll just need permission from whoever's voice they're copying if they're doing it that way. the tools are there to use.
not only this will let people to remake bg 1 and its expansions and bg 2 and its expansions, but also will let them create their perfect adventure to play with friends in an d&d rpg style and to port some adventures from the books to the game, it will be insane what can happen.
Console gaming made sense for like 10 years or so but not today. PC is better in every way, cheaper games, better graphics, better fps, mod support, the list goes on and on. You can hook it to your TV and play like a console too so it doesn't even have a downside..
@ggoddkkiller1342 Nobody likes a fanboy of any platform. It has downsides like way more expensive to buy a PC (don't even lie and say you can get a comparable PC for 500 dollars you can't) games are made for consoles then ported to PC, meaning PC games usually have way more issues. Console games are plug and play, PC games need a lot of configurations. And even upgrading your PC isn't cheap. No downsides is just a lie. I'm saying this as a PC and Console gamer both. It's facts. Mods are overrated as well because when you actually take an objective look the vast majority of games on PC either has no mod support or minimal. Games like Skyrim and BG3 are not the norm.
@@Mystra The problem you are absolutely clueless what you are talking about. A 1000 dollar PC would beat any console out there by far and you can always upgrade it in future. 1000 dollar is more expensive than consoles but PC games are far cheaper too, you would gain 400-500 dollar difference back in a year top and begin saving money. Your 'Games are made for consoles then ported to PC' is another false information. If the game is released on console first then it is true like Last of us etc. But vast majority of games are made for PC and most weren't even released on console so only God knows how you are claiming such a nonsense. The subject game, BG3 is also completely made for PC and runs far better on PC with better graphics, performance + full mod support. Once again you are completely clueless what kind of mods there are and repeating a nonsense. There are DOZENS of games with great mod support like GTA5, Bannerlord, Fallout 4, BG3, Warhammer, Cyberpunk etc. And there are HUNDREDS of mods. Some of them are entirely changing the game, for example you can turn Bannerlord to GOT or LOTR map and play in your favorite IP! Even if games don't support mods they can be still modded by replacing files and there are great improvements for so many games, for example you could replace Mass effect textures with high resolution ones and play with great visiuals YEARS before EA literally released same thing and tried to charge money for it. You can even do that for console games, for example you can improve graphics and textures of NieR Automata and play with far better visiuals THAN you can ever have on console, same goes for FF7 etc as well. With a PC you can literally play EVERY SINGLE game released on consoles, gameboys etc with emulators if they aren't released on PC while you can not play a single not supported game on consoles! Downsides of my @ss, just LMAO! I'm sorry but you are exactly what you described a console fanboy who has ONLY wrong information about PC and therefore repeating a biased nonsense not facts..
The Act 2 expansion is the only one that really grabbed me from this video. But all the featured modders are certainly doing hard work, given how little time has passed since the toolkit went live
Thanks for the update! Curious, are there custom scenarios available already? Or are they still to come? If the later, when would we expect to see them? Our group loves the mechanics and itching to play more!
Hello, im the creator of Path to Menzzoberranzan(Promenade Waukeen and Underdark maps) even with 75 people(this is our team now, its still growing) the time needed for projects like this can be year-2, however,we will release some beta tests with locations we finished,so i believe youll have enough of entertainment:)
Interesting projects for sure. One question: why do you have a wide screen view zoomed in like that? It makes it kind of difficult to see what's going on...
Hey all, I just wanted to mention I am making a music mod for BG3, which expands on the soundtrack. If anyone has a mod that needs custom music please reach out!
Yea I still think Larian ‘accidentally’ left some lock picks for someone to find and release the full modding kit while maintaining deniability for legal reasons
Hopefully we will get some quality new campaigns soon(tm) ... there is so much classes and races to try :) But nature themed staff making fireballs - really? :D
I've never played a CRPG DLC or a custom campaign mod, so there's one thing I'm wondering about. Would these be meant for maxxed out level 12 characters? Would you make a new game and go straight into them? Would you have to reach a specific point in a vanilla playthrough and use that save file to play a custom campaign? I'd appreciate if you (or another commenter) could shed some light on this!
a mix, some would potentially be a continuation, others would be their own separate adventure meant for you to start fresh. it entirely depends on the mod's intentions and the modders desires for it's play. i'd expect both, but probably more of a focus on starting fresh characters for them if I had to guess.
I would really love to see someone create an arena style mod. You start at level one and simply earn exp from each fight, choosing your opponents, earning gold to buy better gear or consumables. Could also work at a horde game mode as well... idk
Do you mean like Trials Of Tav? If you haven’t seen that one check it out! I also covered an upcoming zombies, round based mode coming soon, it’s in a previous video on my channel! 😊
Can the moders create NPCs with new dialogue etc? Maybe using AI for the voices? I dont know much about modding. Like how similar would a modded area with questlines compade to the standard game?
with the voices it would be 10X better to just hire or have volunteers for voice work like sstraight up ai should never be the decision, there are millions of people that can and want to do voice work even for free it's insane AI voices do nothing b
i am curious because all the cut content in the base game, when some projects will work to add this back in. but i think this will start right after we know for certain there had been the real last patch which added stuff.
My only concern is if the quality will stand up to the rest of the game. I’m talking voices. Otherwise, it’ll all feel a little empty, ya know? I’ve seen some comments on here that some modders have some very talented VAs volunteering, and that’s a great START. BUT what about the OG companions? *Having them fully integrated into the new content and reacting and commenting like they normally would.* That’s the most important part. And that takes cutscenes, new animations, lip synch, AND most importantly, good writing that stays consistent with the rest of the game and doesn’t just turn into someone’s fanfiction. The characters should be approached with the SAME level of RESPECT they’ve already received from Larian’s excellent team that brought them to life. And of course the voices problem again. Getting the original VAs to do it would be amazing, but if they won’t (or can’t for legal reasons) then what? AI is its own mess that’s probably not a good idea. And I’m not overly thrilled about the idea of imitators, either. Would have to be a damn good imitation. Near flawless. Or else the immersion will just shatter, and we’re back to the empty feeling. Ah, I’m a little worried about this one. Skyrim had the benefit of being less . . . complicated. These mods have great promise. But I really hope the modders are thinking about all the details I’ve highlighted here.
Suggestion: Going through the game files and recycling unused or not often heard dialogue could help with adding in some voiced OG companion reaction moments. Nothing specific or iconic because that would be noticeable, but for example, Astarion has over 5,000 lines of recorded dialogue, I think? Bound to be something useable in there. And with some careful editing, you could take it a step further and splice different lines together to make something “new.” You would just have to add in the right pauses to make it sound natural so it didn’t SOUND spliced. Could work pretty well depending on what’s needed. Of course, it won’t help with everything, but it could be a good way to bridge the gap for some things.
@@omegafish69 Yeah definitely something that would take a few years before it’s ready to be released. The lore potential is insane with all the ancient dragons that Elden Ring has. Would probably have to be an overhaul mod.
Hmm, seems like a genius idea! I just wonder... BG3 is succesful mostly bcs of its voice acting and genius narrator. Without, it risk being dull despite all the work put in there. Does anybody know if it will be voiced?
Not available right now, still in development. Either subscribe to the channel, or the channels I’ve linked below, or the BG3 modding discord to stay up to date!
I am just hoping someone gets really serious about a submod for Trials of Tav and really fleshes it out. It's so addictive and fun! Really makes me sad for the canceled turn based tactics Divinity game.
What I desperately want is end game content you get so overpowered by the end of act 3 the final boss is kinda disappointing, more hella difficult content to flex ur aquired loot would be the best
Be Honest will console be able to have a chance for these as well? i know they is a issue between some of the mods not sure the actually reasoning but you seem educated well enough for me to ask? This is really cool to see and would give such longevity for us console players as well..
Unfortunately it’s highly unlikely at this stage. Simply due to these mods being created with the toolkit unlocked, which is essentially a cracked version of the mod toolkit, and therefore not officially supported by Larian. It’s not a definite no, but I’d be surprised to see these on console. Keeping everything crossed for you though!
Roleplaying with AI for 6 months or so, man i would kill for a ingame AI chat like talking to characters real time. It will be added to the game for sure but it would still take some months. There are quite good models already 7-11-22Bs which don't require a lot of resources to work and can be run along with the game. But feeding information into the model without confusing it is the real problem. There must be tons of convertion like adding a flag into every single action and feeding them with explanation into model. There aren't still any model which can look at raw game codes and figure out what is going on, but there might be one in a year or so as AI models are improving rapidly.
I don’t play this, but wouldn’t it be best to treat this game like its own “engine” and keep releasing various Campaign DLCs? Like just adding in new separate story lines you could play?
Larian is privately owned. They could, and it would be profitable, but they can decide what they want to do. Sven said that their hearts weren't in an expansion, so they decided to do something else.
very impressive ... but without voices I am not sure how much I can enjoy a campaign. The voices are such a key part of the BG3 experience. I know prior RPGs were almost entirely text and they were fun anyway, but that was fully isometric so you never actually saw the faces of the characters except in portraits. Here looking at a mute character face will be a little off-putting. But I will definitely give them a try. And if anyone can pull off the face animations and add voice talent, well then it will be well worth buying -- but sadly once they sell something WOTC will shut it down or charge enormous licensing fees.
Most gamers play on console nowadays, since they have a cpu comparable to a decent stationary computer. With the ps3 and ps4 there were a huge difference between consoles and a pc, what they could handle.
PC gaming has seen its biggest growth ever over the last year or so, it’s a massive market and console technology will always be a couple generations behind unfortunately!
Hi,(Creator of the Underdark and Promenada Waukeen here). It is how it work in the map development- first you build a "skeleton" and only then you slowly adding a little details, of course rn its gonna look not in the best shape, Main game maps were created for months.
I think people are too euphoric. Do they really think wotc and hasbro will do nothing whiley they use a modding tool to create their own content freely without paying? There is a reason why larian staff denies any connection to mods, same like yt denies any connection to the videos uploaded. "We only provided the platform" or else wotc / hasbro would sue em. Im a 100% convinced that the mod authors will get CADs (cease and desist) letters, to remove all the content created with an "illegally modified tool" that is their property.
There is practically 0 chance of that happening. If it did, it would kill any good will people have towards wotc and would be horrendous publicity. Besides, they already got a return on their investment, so why would they go out of their way to ruin future potential success that comes through these mods? The only reason larian doesn't mention is it's not officially supported. Also I'm pretty sure they added these features on purpose, it would not have been this easy to get otherwise lol
@@lemin5508 they did add the mod manager and creator for fans to play around within the bonds of the bg3 campaign, yes. What they are heavily denying is that they made it easy for fans to disable the set boundaries of the mod creator which enables them to create entire stories on their own, with a free tool independent of the bg3 campaign. THAT is what is denied at every turn, because THAT can get them in very hot water with wotc and hasbro. i do see it coming, its widely known that the hasbro leads responsible for the dnd corner hate dnd itself with a passion. there where memo leaks etc. you can look it up. something so simple as a CAD on mods that go over the intended boundaries on something they have full copyrights / rights in any sense. you can bet they will take action to ensure people a) either pay more or b) cant use it because it is outside of wotc / hasbros cashflow and they dont profit from it. and you cant blame them its their right by law. heck they could even blame the law saying they are forced to take action because otherwise their ownership would get muddied down which brings more problems down the road (japan for example has laws that force companies to go after fan projects or else they get in trouble with the law themself)

@@VeteranJoystick
Wow that's exciting!!
@@VeteranJoystickThis game is still gonna be relevant 10 years from now.
@@VeteranJoystick It won't have the incredible performances from the actors!
with the voices it would be 10X better to just hire or have volunteers for voice work
like sstraight up ai should never be the decision, there are millions of people that can and want to do voice work even for free it's insane
AI voices do nothing b
I want to see the DnD starter kits like Dragons Of Ice spire peak made real.
YES!
That act2 expansion sounds really interesting! Can't find any more info for it though...link anyone?
It’s still very early in development. Head to the BG3 modding discord for updates 😊
i am curious because all the cut content in the base game, when some projects will work to add this back in. but i think this will start right after we know for certain there had been the real last patch which added stuff.
Yeh that work is underway! The original tutorial has been added back in already. More to come!
A rude "Bard"-tender, huh?! 😜
I see what you did there, and I LIKE IT 😂
My only concern is if the quality will stand up to the rest of the game. I’m talking voices. Otherwise, it’ll all feel a little empty, ya know? I’ve seen some comments on here that some modders have some very talented VAs volunteering, and that’s a great START. BUT what about the OG companions? *Having them fully integrated into the new content and reacting and commenting like they normally would.* That’s the most important part. And that takes cutscenes, new animations, lip synch, AND most importantly, good writing that stays consistent with the rest of the game and doesn’t just turn into someone’s fanfiction.
The characters should be approached with the SAME level of RESPECT they’ve already received from Larian’s excellent team that brought them to life.
And of course the voices problem again. Getting the original VAs to do it would be amazing, but if they won’t (or can’t for legal reasons) then what? AI is its own mess that’s probably not a good idea. And I’m not overly thrilled about the idea of imitators, either. Would have to be a damn good imitation. Near flawless. Or else the immersion will just shatter, and we’re back to the empty feeling. Ah, I’m a little worried about this one. Skyrim had the benefit of being less . . . complicated. These mods have great promise. But I really hope the modders are thinking about all the details I’ve highlighted here.
Suggestion: Going through the game files and recycling unused or not often heard dialogue could help with adding in some voiced OG companion reaction moments. Nothing specific or iconic because that would be noticeable, but for example, Astarion has over 5,000 lines of recorded dialogue, I think? Bound to be something useable in there.
And with some careful editing, you could take it a step further and splice different lines together to make something “new.” You would just have to add in the right pauses to make it sound natural so it didn’t SOUND spliced.
Could work pretty well depending on what’s needed. Of course, it won’t help with everything, but it could be a good way to bridge the gap for some things.
Definitely waiting for those custom maps & campaigns. Can only replay the main game so many times before it gets boring as shit.
I’m so damn excited for all of these I can’t choose
@@alexandersmith6869 you and me both dude!
I NEED IT NOWWWW
Good vid man but the aspect ratio is a bit weird to watch
I would actually pay for someone to bring the world of Elden Ring into BG3. Now THAT would be a statement
I don't doubt that could happen within a few years
For some reason I think modders will make Los Santos from GTA San Andreas first lul
@@mephilaz_3881 Wonder If vehicles would be possible
@@omegafish69 Yeah definitely something that would take a few years before it’s ready to be released. The lore potential is insane with all the ancient dragons that Elden Ring has. Would probably have to be an overhaul mod.
I'd love to elden ring combat in the bg3 world
Just as a heads up, that modding discord link is dead
How do you add the new campaigns
Do you think any of thes campaign mods will come to console mod io?
Unfortunately it’s unlikely as they’re created in the unlocked version of the mod toolkit, which isn’t officially supported by Larian 😢
@@VeteranJoystick ahh well no issues I can easily get it on steam somepoint but ty for the updates
I love all of these projects, but i wonder if someone will ever try to do an Avernus expantion
Just to kick Mizora's and Zariel's butt
Would love that!
What do you think the odds are for these types of mods to come to consoles?
Unfortunately not very likely as these probably need their own shaders and that’s not allowed on console
@@evangardner9222 yeah I’ve been hearing about that. Do you know what custom shaders are? Lol is it like their own color scheme and such??
I want to see the Ravenloft campaign setting
that would be awesome!
Hmm, seems like a genius idea! I just wonder... BG3 is succesful mostly bcs of its voice acting and genius narrator. Without, it risk being dull despite all the work put in there. Does anybody know if it will be voiced?
@@demaciaguy1580 all fully voiced. There’s hundreds of people working on these projects 😊
I hope they create Borovia and lord sthrad
I am a bit confused. Are these mods playable right now? and if not when will they be? how can we be notified?
Not available right now, still in development. Either subscribe to the channel, or the channels I’ve linked below, or the BG3 modding discord to stay up to date!
@@VeteranJoystick What's the name of the BG3 modding group on Discord? Thnx
I am just hoping someone gets really serious about a submod for Trials of Tav and really fleshes it out. It's so addictive and fun! Really makes me sad for the canceled turn based tactics Divinity game.
I’m just so depressed that I’ll never see these coming to PS5 😢
Can I get another invite to the BG3 mod server, the one in ur bio don’t work
Plz create Dragonlance mod!!
What I desperately want is end game content you get so overpowered by the end of act 3 the final boss is kinda disappointing, more hella difficult content to flex ur aquired loot would be the best
Ravenloft adventure
Pls tell me he is called Bardtender.
How long do you think until someone adds the entirety of Skyrim?
12 months at this rate!
I'm waiting for WOTC to start smashing the modding community with a lawyer hammer
Be Honest will console be able to have a chance for these as well? i know they is a issue between some of the mods not sure the actually reasoning but you seem educated well enough for me to ask? This is really cool to see and would give such longevity for us console players as well..
Unfortunately it’s highly unlikely at this stage. Simply due to these mods being created with the toolkit unlocked, which is essentially a cracked version of the mod toolkit, and therefore not officially supported by Larian. It’s not a definite no, but I’d be surprised to see these on console. Keeping everything crossed for you though!
@@VeteranJoystick thanks getting back with me ! Appreciate the info!
@@__Infinity_Hearts__ Anytime!
Are these going to make their way to PlayStation
Hi is this mod coming on console or just PC?
Likely just PC, at least initially
Assuming PC only and not on PS5?
discord modding link expired.
R any of these coming to console
Unfortunately it’s unlikely as they’re created in the unlocked version of the mod toolkit, which isn’t officially supported by Larian 😢
Roleplaying with AI for 6 months or so, man i would kill for a ingame AI chat like talking to characters real time. It will be added to the game for sure but it would still take some months. There are quite good models already 7-11-22Bs which don't require a lot of resources to work and can be run along with the game. But feeding information into the model without confusing it is the real problem. There must be tons of convertion like adding a flag into every single action and feeding them with explanation into model. There aren't still any model which can look at raw game codes and figure out what is going on, but there might be one in a year or so as AI models are improving rapidly.
Holy wow
Such an exciting time 😁
I’m willing to pay someone 500$ if you can manage to port Kotor 1 into BG3. I NEEEEEED IT
I like your style sir! 🤩
god i fucking wish bruh. im dying for a SW game in this style.
Can someone please port a goblin playable character mod to the Playstation 5
Every other game I own watching me start a new character in BG3: 🥲
Haha I can relate
Legit.😂
Does it have a name
Not currently. All still a work in progress
They need to place more props.
Why don't you go build it then? Oh wait, you can't.
Give it time. There’s are all still WIP
Headache from back injury and your moving background didn’t help 🤪
I don’t play this, but wouldn’t it be best to treat this game like its own “engine” and keep releasing various Campaign DLCs? Like just adding in new separate story lines you could play?
Larian is privately owned. They could, and it would be profitable, but they can decide what they want to do.
Sven said that their hearts weren't in an expansion, so they decided to do something else.
very impressive ... but without voices I am not sure how much I can enjoy a campaign. The voices are such a key part of the BG3 experience. I know prior RPGs were almost entirely text and they were fun anyway, but that was fully isometric so you never actually saw the faces of the characters except in portraits. Here looking at a mute character face will be a little off-putting. But I will definitely give them a try. And if anyone can pull off the face animations and add voice talent, well then it will be well worth buying -- but sadly once they sell something WOTC will shut it down or charge enormous licensing fees.
Hello,we have a lot of talented VAs that working in the industry. Face animations are gonna be tricky,but i believe we already found the solution.
@ Glad to hear that! I very much hope WOTC does not try to get involved.
@@doloresabernathy9809 That's been too much time,i believe, and hope its not gonna to happen.
So nothing ready to play yet looks like.... ... .. .
this all looks super boring. might be a good idea to let things mature to the point that the hubs look on par with anything in base game
These are all still early WIP, a long way off release
Most gamers play on console nowadays, since they have a cpu comparable to a decent stationary computer. With the ps3 and ps4 there were a huge difference between consoles and a pc, what they could handle.
lmfao
PC gaming has seen its biggest growth ever over the last year or so, it’s a massive market and console technology will always be a couple generations behind unfortunately!
Sorry these look so unnatural and clearly need more time in the oven. The environments in the main game feel way more immersive
@@TheRyndiculous Which is why they’re all WIP and not released yet…
Hi,(Creator of the Underdark and Promenada Waukeen here). It is how it work in the map development- first you build a "skeleton" and only then you slowly adding a little details, of course rn its gonna look not in the best shape, Main game maps were created for months.
Let's all move on to Dragon Age Veilguard now. It'll be here on the 31st.
@@msguccidiamonds Lol. Why don’t you just let people enjoy what they enjoy?
Ain't nobody gunna be playing that
Why would I wanna play that? They don't even care about the story enjoy your fan fic game
how about no, DA looks so mid. The people who were responsible for Biowares Golden Age are long gone.
I think people are too euphoric. Do they really think wotc and hasbro will do nothing whiley they use a modding tool to create their own content freely without paying? There is a reason why larian staff denies any connection to mods, same like yt denies any connection to the videos uploaded. "We only provided the platform" or else wotc / hasbro would sue em.
Im a 100% convinced that the mod authors will get CADs (cease and desist) letters, to remove all the content created with an "illegally modified tool" that is their property.
There is practically 0 chance of that happening. If it did, it would kill any good will people have towards wotc and would be horrendous publicity. Besides, they already got a return on their investment, so why would they go out of their way to ruin future potential success that comes through these mods? The only reason larian doesn't mention is it's not officially supported.
Also I'm pretty sure they added these features on purpose, it would not have been this easy to get otherwise lol
@@lemin5508 they did add the mod manager and creator for fans to play around within the bonds of the bg3 campaign, yes.
What they are heavily denying is that they made it easy for fans to disable the set boundaries of the mod creator which enables them to create entire stories on their own, with a free tool independent of the bg3 campaign. THAT is what is denied at every turn, because THAT can get them in very hot water with wotc and hasbro.
i do see it coming, its widely known that the hasbro leads responsible for the dnd corner hate dnd itself with a passion. there where memo leaks etc. you can look it up. something so simple as a CAD on mods that go over the intended boundaries on something they have full copyrights / rights in any sense. you can bet they will take action to ensure people a) either pay more or b) cant use it because it is outside of wotc / hasbros cashflow and they dont profit from it.
and you cant blame them its their right by law. heck they could even blame the law saying they are forced to take action because otherwise their ownership would get muddied down which brings more problems down the road (japan for example has laws that force companies to go after fan projects or else they get in trouble with the law themself)
