Larian Studios Forums Active Threads Since Yesterday

I find that DLCs are hard to make compelling.

Like, when they're just a small addition to the end of a game, it can feel kind of forced and shallow. Especially when they introduce skills and equipment that have to be direct powercreep in order to make them desirable for characters that have just gone through an entire game worth of optimisation and gearing up... (Which can also get even worse when this extra powerful stuff can be accessed mid-way through the game then after you finish the DLC and go back to the base game the balance is all out of whack as you're a walking god compared to what everything is scale for)

While larger things can feel like they could have just made a new game instead, fleshing out the content that little bit more and using the opportunity to rework and polish any features that stood out (Or integrate new ideas that arose).

Even more so if said DLC happens to be a brand new campaign anyway, meaning it has no reason to be attached to the base game besides reusing the assets to make it (Not that this really stops you making a new game. Take Spellforce 3 for example, each "DLC" is its own stand alone game with a stand alone campaign and bunch of features. But if you own them all, you can access them all together and play custom games with features from all of them)

I've honestly never been excited about a DLC as a result. Even though I've played some that were enjoyable, the announcement of DLC just isn't interesting. I'd often rather get a new game instead.

For example, Grim Dawn is getting a big expansion next month, with as much new content as 40% of the current game (Which is Base Game + 2 other large expansions). But even this just pales in comparison to the announced Grim Dawn 2 game which is just inherently more interesting due to the larger scope of new features and content it can provide (Compared to the expansion for the first game where it's going to be bogged down by all the flaws of the first game... I.e. All the issues derived from it being a modified version of Titan Quest's engine)

The bigger problem is how they handwaved her not able to touch someone, because it would burn the person, but her clothes, bedrolls, Clive and everythin gshe touches can deal with it very well.

I love Karlach, she is one of my favourites, but this drives me crazy

Ideas for future games, always good to get out there.

Nipple sliders.

Oh yuck. I just thought about images AI produces.

There might be an issue with losing XP with each death. The total amount of XP is fixed, so if you lose too much, you're gimping yourself more and more.

That might be a fun difficulty challenge (people have finished the game with 1 hp, or no higher than level 1) but that seems like a major challenge in excess of honor mode, not in between honor and tactician.


I may have a solution: I just installed the brutal difficulty mod. It's harder than tactician (and Honor mode's normal fights, which use tactician) but does not have Honor mode's legendary actions.

I was sad because I wanted brutal + legendary actions, but it might be to your liking.

It has some fun upgrades to enemy AI. For example, when they down one of your party members, they don't keep at it until dead, which is something a dev does to be irritating, but they then attack the rest of the party. This is the correct tactical move as once everyone is downed, not dead, you lose.

Your magical Camp Coffer of Infinite Depth should be the same anywhere you camp. That sounds like something is broken.

A Patreon creator operating under the name "TalesofStar" is selling cosmetic outfit mods entirely made out of models and textures extracted from Bg3 (among the many other games they have been stealing from). These files are offered through paid monthly tiers and individual purchases both on Patreon and on their personal website where this creator also posts previews of those files, clearly stating in the description that the assets were ripped from the game. Due to a recent DMCA all those images are now purposefully blurred, but I have saved screenshots to document all of it:









This person has been charging quite a lot of money for access to those files entirely made of stolen assets for quite some time, both as a single purchase and by monthly memberships, distributing them through their external 'member hub' to circumvent Patreon regulations, and blocking all Patreon users who question them or are deemed "problematic". With their setup TalesofStar likely earns more money than the people who work as Character Artists and created the assets, literally stealing their work.

I already got in touch with Patreon about it and have been told that they don't accept reports of copyright infringement unless they are sent directly by the owner, so I am hoping others will be joining me and report this thief to Larian and/or Wizards of the Coast until Patreon is forced to acknowledge that everything Talesofstar is selling is stolen.

Hi everyone, I don't know if there is still active help about this game, especially since hunger from beyond is additionnal content but I hope someone will be able to help me wth this.

Well I am trying to reunite all pieces of the devourer set. For the third part, on nameless isle, I followed all instructions: follow the red arrows, get into the cave near Zor's temple, put a small flame rune into the dragon skull. Every time, I get bitten by the dragon and attacked by undead fanatic lizards. But no way to get the leggings. I tried several things: going in alone after firing everyone in my party, even Delorus, different rune sizes, reloading several saves, thinking maybe I did something that prevented the script to run correctly...
But even alone, if it is the first thing I do when I set foot on the isle, I get attacked, and no pants.

I read somewhere that being attacked is the behavior when we put the wrong rune in the skull. I don't really know what to do since I always put a flame rune. I thought maybe since my game is in french, the name of my rune is not the correct one but it would be rather strange.

Well here I am, stuck and condemned to not be able to finish the devourer set. I could not find anyone on the internet seeming to have the same problem.

If someone has a hint, or knows about this, I would be glad to get some advice !

Have a nice day everyone
