But this is what they did with their other games too. They opened up mods on it after a bit, allowing everything up to total conversion mods allowing players to use the game resources to play their own campaigns.
Act 2 isn't the weakest part of the game, it's just where you spend the least amount of time. I think most people agree that Ketheric is the best bad guy in the story, he has a sympathetic (or at least reasonably understandable) backstory and of course JK Simmons' performance is enthralling (no pun intended). That being said having more side quests or other NPCs to engage with sounds like a lot of fun so I'm really excited about the mods.
Not really, act 2 is just not that interactive and fun like Act 1 and 3. It feels very tedious and unenjoyable. I wish they had more npcs to talk to in act 2
No, Thorm being awesome has nothing to do with ACT2 being weak. Act 2 has worst and smallest map, least interactive activities, annoying exploration gimmick (shadow curse), boring missions etc. But yes, Thorm is the best villain on pair with Rafael in this game, too bad he’s killed off so quick.
BG1's campaign in BG3's engine would be a dream come true. The combat is much more flexible and richer in BG3, it would be a dream to play the original campaign again in this new engine.
Oh trust me the amount of comments I got about it in my last video were far higher than I expected. I certainly don’t think it’s better than act 1, but it’s still solid. The whole game can do no wrong for me personally haha
@@VeteranJoystick what is considered "Act 2" in this conversation? If you mean the Shadow lands and Kethric Thorm then I don't see how that's considered the worst when people constantly praise it.
Ketheric is the best antagonist in the game, but Act II itself is so bleak & depressing, I just want to get it over with so I can get to the city, out of environment that's frustrating to navigate, & pick up the OP items I've been waiting for since the beginning of the game. I'm over Act I, also, but at least that looks pretty & isn't a pain to get around in. I desperately want a New Game Plus mode where I can spend 15 minutes answering questions to set the world state, then start in Rivington.
Would love someone to bring deekin back from neverwinter nights. He was the best companion of any game i ever played to that point .. Miss that lil kobold.
When you mentioned modders bringing in a fan-favorite area from Dragon Age Origins into BG3, my mind immediately leapt to two locations: the mountain dungeon that holds the Sacred Ashes, and the Deep Roads. Both would be excellent additions to the game, one being a forbidding frost-touched landscape host to a fringe cult offshoot of a normally benign religion, and the other being a dust-choked series of stories-tall tunnels, filled with packs of demon-cursed zombies weaving their way through the cracks of the lower mantle, trying to break into dwarven cities. Anywho, guess we have the human origin joint now, rip Orzammar my beloved
@@VeteranJoystick Hell yeah, especially if you end up dragging along three friends who don't know anything about the series: it may be the only time they experience Origins ever, and they're doing it in one of the closest things you can get to an actual custom story house game of D&D. I can't wait for my console shooter buddies and I who're waiting on crossplay to experience stuff like this. Although their ADHD might get to them and they never touch it again after two hours of gaming lol, but I can hope.
@TheSensei88 Torture? Nah. Origins still holds up with characters and story. I recommend it to anyone who likes dark fantasy. I've played the game over and over and over again- At least around thirty times at this point. Being able to see it in high resolution, possibly with some tweaks to the story and making things more coherent? Oh, I'd sell my soul for that.
ACT 2 is alright, its just the shadow curse part that is a bit annoying on your 20th play thru - everyone just wants to get to act 3 to test new builds
I would absolutely love to see an online persistent world community, the likes of NWN1, rise on the BG3 platform, and this seems like a step in that direction!
I'm hoping there is already a team of modders working on a port of Curse of Strahd. I could hope for Dark Sun too... but that might require too many custom assets.
Yes, COS is heavily requested and I’m sure it’s being worked on in some capacity. We’ve also got the dungeons of the mad mage campaign which I covered previously, that’s a huge undertaking.
Also there is a campaign already on nexus called "A night out". It's more... lusty I might say, but still a campaign! Short, but dev is working on it to extend it. If someone reads it, please give it a go - if you are in that kind of things ( warrning! 18+ content. )
To me it's the highlight of every campaign, that's where most builds come online, it's not overwhelming like Act 3 and it's not insanely long like Act 1, I always find it massively enjoyable. Act 1 is the one I find the most repetitive (notably because levels 1-4 are by far the most boring in D&D and I already played the shit out of it in EA)
Wow best coverage I’ve seen of these campaign mods!! It’s awesome! Shows how heartbreakingly stupid WOTC is to let this game go without DLC. They could have made a deal with Larian but screwed it up, or hired someone else to follow through - like any of these modders!. instead they let it sit on the shelf.
@ maybe but every business decision depends on what they were offered by WOTC. We don’t know. but even without Larian WOTC could get a new studio to do the DLC using Larian’s work. The mods show how that could be done in a short time. WOTC did not want to pay for it, apparently.
That hub for other campaigns is neat idea ... but I would probably go with something more thematic ... there was Sigil - City of Doors for example? I did never saw it and dont know much lore about it but it sounded cool and like something exactly for that purpose :)
Bg3 could lay the groundwork for a dnd campaign designer game similar to super mario maker. Imagine it’s like fortnite creative maps and you can publish your own campaigns.
Probably not gonna happen, but as a dragon age origins fan, i cannot stop thinking on how fkin awesome would be if someone recreates at least a little part of that jewel on bg3's engine
Calling Act 2 the weakest part of the game is wild. Act two is where the storyline and character power both hit their stride. The goals and progression are cleaner, you start seeing the growth (or devolving) of the companions, and it's large enough without feeling like a rambling mess. Act 1 is a giant tutorial and Act 3 is a slog.
Depends how much/what they change. If they conflict with each other then probably not, but if they affect different parts of the game or they’re entirely seperate areas then yeh they should work together for the most part 😊
@SharonCrader dont hold your breathe, they are cookin but slow cookin, the pace really depends on how much moonglasses gets updated and features unlocked. moonglasses kit still has hicups to get working virtualtextures and custom mesh imports to in order to begin to start adding new enemies models, ai tactic and sound effects. i really wish this clicky bait style of video format from this content creator would stop pitching these moonglasses videos as they are around the corner, when its not the case, its playstation granade slop in comparisons to his actual bg3 mods reviews which are really good, these could be more far reaching as YT shorts, or maybe at least interview some of the modders for substance. this channel will prob hide this comment like he has done to all my prior comments in the past.
I’ve never hidden a single comment from anyone in my life. Chill out man 🤦🏻♂️ Did you even watch the video? One is releasing in a few days, another in a couple of weeks, some of them are a bit further out. Next time watch the actual video before judging 💙
@@VeteranJoystickI could be wrong, it could be a different person but that name takes me back to early days. I couldn't see a link in the description to anything of his was it all posted on a discord server?
Why not look at the description? There are links to the channels and for one of the mods. Most of them don’t exist yet, which I explain in the video. There’s nothing to link.
@@VeteranJoystick damn it. These are awesome. I’m an old guy now and can’t figure out how to get the mods to work from Nexus. Hopefully some start to show up. Thank you much for responding. Awesome channel and content.
Same. Being stuck in the city was kind of lame. It would’ve been cooler if they had content outside in the wilderness too or in the upper city at least
Glad to see modules/custom campaigns are an option now so I wont have completely wasted my money on this game. Minor spoilers ahead. I was liking the game and having fun then I started the sub quest for the Tiefling chick and wow some of writing was completely brain dead. If I remember correctly dude could figure out what was broke and how to make a new part from the sound but she had to install the part of her mechanical heart herself? It probably wasn't exactly that but something close, I just remember it being so fucking dumb I lost all interest is the game.
@@doloresabernathy9809 Not a joke I ran into writing so braindead compared to the rest I lost all interest in the game. A big part of it was she was also the only female character that didn't annoy me. It also felt like I was in a reverse harem and the only people that actually like BG3 are girls and gay dudes obsessed with the vampire since they are the only people I see/hear praise the game other than people that make money making youtube vids. But the reality is I just ran into something that I personally thought was so dumb I couldn't suspend disbelief. I had also just found I had to feed the wizard magic items, neat idea but annoying as hell in practice. I also heard the writing fell off after act 1 and she was a character added last minute. I'll probably give it another shot in a year or so after a bunch of patches, hopefully they or a modder will fix up the writing in that part and any others that bad that I didn't get to.
@ You seem to Be trolling since its obviously absurd to think that only gay men and women like the game. Im neither and find it the best game in the 45 years Ive been playing games. Your character can be the most masculine he man you want if thats what you like to look at, no judgment. And there are three male party members other than Astarion. Personally I prefer to look at female characters. But you have total player choice. i agree the scene with the heart is disappointing and seemed like a cop out when they could not get the graphics to work for installing the heart. But the writing in general is awesome by any standards in any medium.
@@doloresabernathy9809 I said it "felt like" not "was only" woman and gay dudes that like it. Thinking they are the same is like thinking probably and definitely mean the same thing. I never said anything about character appearance, I said the Tiefling was the only female party member that didn't annoy me. If its based on looks the best one is the elf since I'm not into the alien or body builder chick look and honestly her character model didn't look that good. To me it felt like all the female party members are side characters compared to the guys which is why it felt like I was in some mediocre reverse harem anime. If anything based on your last message it seems like you're the one trolling or your reading comprehension was lacking at the moment you read mine. Either way I've stated and clarified my opinion on the game and am not going to waste anymore time writing replies.
First mod of the list could end with your party having to cross the Chiontar by boat to explain why you spend all the game until then on the north shore, yet you start chapter 3 somehow south of wyrm's crossing.
Can you imagine if someone would recreated the whole BG1 and BG2 games in this engine? WOW....
Honestly it might be closer than we think! So exciting 😊
Pretty sure there are 2 separate modding teams working on each one.
Heck yes!!!
very unlikely to ever happen. these projects take years of not decades and most times they get cancelled
@@t.t6294someone like you always gets proven wrong, so its okay.
Larian: We have no dlc planned.
Modders: Fine. I'll do it myself.
But this is what they did with their other games too. They opened up mods on it after a bit, allowing everything up to total conversion mods allowing players to use the game resources to play their own campaigns.
They left us the tools for that express purpose xD
Hey, it worked for Bethesda (see: Fallout: London) and other studios/games (including apparently others by Larian), so why not Baldur's Gate?
I want nothing more than a particular epilogue expansion set in avernus and a certain factory.
Justice for Karlach!!!!
Act 2 isn't the weakest part of the game, it's just where you spend the least amount of time. I think most people agree that Ketheric is the best bad guy in the story, he has a sympathetic (or at least reasonably understandable) backstory and of course JK Simmons' performance is enthralling (no pun intended). That being said having more side quests or other NPCs to engage with sounds like a lot of fun so I'm really excited about the mods.
agree!
Act 2 is easily the worst part of the game.
Not really, act 2 is just not that interactive and fun like Act 1 and 3. It feels very tedious and unenjoyable. I wish they had more npcs to talk to in act 2
No, Thorm being awesome has nothing to do with ACT2 being weak. Act 2 has worst and smallest map, least interactive activities, annoying exploration gimmick (shadow curse), boring missions etc. But yes, Thorm is the best villain on pair with Rafael in this game, too bad he’s killed off so quick.
I personally find act 3 the least enjoyable
I hope somebody releases Curse of Strahd with BG3 engine at some point, it would be so cool
THAT’S A DREAM COME TRUE IF IT HAPPENS
I’m waiting for that too!
I’d love to see all the dnd campaign books as mods honestly
BG1's campaign in BG3's engine would be a dream come true. The combat is much more flexible and richer in BG3, it would be a dream to play the original campaign again in this new engine.
MODDERS!! GIVE ME RAVENLOFT AND MY SOUL IS YOURS!!
The modders: "What's better than a Devil you don't know?"
Yes I agree
It will be the Neverwinter Vault days all over again, AND I LOVE IT!
🤩
Pretty incredible concept! Neverwinter Nights still has playability to this day.
Act 2 was the best act in the game for me. Haven't seen anyone complain about it tbh
Oh trust me the amount of comments I got about it in my last video were far higher than I expected. I certainly don’t think it’s better than act 1, but it’s still solid. The whole game can do no wrong for me personally haha

Imagine if someone remade Curse of Strahd with BG3!
They could just as easily do Tomb of Annihilation as well. I’d love to see curse of strahd and more. There’s lots of potential
I love that someone is making a hub! I thought of that exact same thing when considering a bunch of campaigns!
Would love someone to bring deekin back from neverwinter nights. He was the best companion of any game i ever played to that point .. Miss that lil kobold.

There is! There is currently a discord server with a whole team already working diligently. They have been working on it for about 2 months now.
I wish I made money to help donate to all these modders.
Dude this is going to be insane,I'm here to watch it unfold
You and me both!
The Red Knight is a Faerunian lesser war deity, focusing on strategy aspects of it. She doesn't really have a connection to hell.
Thanks for the insight!
@@VeteranJoystick I suppose, technically, there is the Blood War, but that isn't really something she makes a big deal about.

Will have to check it out!
Oh wow... awesome work modders!!! Thanks for the update!
Act 2 is the best act in the first playthrough. But it is a bit repetitive after 2-4 playthroughs.

"Act 2 being the weakest part of the game".... Are they high?
Can’t please everyone I guess lol
lmao i literally said that out loud. my dogs were very confused.
