Update: Part 2, Chapter 18 is now published. The Hellraisers attack Nevrik's Keep, hoping to save Karlach's heart of flesh. But what trap(s) do the devils have in store?

BG3.5 - Hellraisers (Fanfiction)
Baldur's Gate 3.5: Hellraisers - an original fanfic story that is a sequel to Baldur's Gate 3 Fanfic: The Afflicted. It picks up immediately after the events of Baldur's Gate 3 as characters from the previous fanfic - Fiovay, Kai, Aelun, Vlyn, and the other members of their party - travel to Avernus. Their quest is to save Karlach but also to hopefully find and rescue Darson, Aelun's father, from the clutches of Demogorgon.

First time playing a new game of BG3 since the Feb update, and a few hours in I'm starting to get horrible lag/stuttering/frame issues. I didn't know about this bug or I wouldn't have updated. I feel like I should have bought the game on GOG so I could roll back patches, but this is the first time I've seen an update cause more problems than it fixed...

Does Larian *know* there's an issue? Have they told us if they're working on it? It's been 10 days, so I'm sure they know, but some communication would be nice. Would just like to know if I should uninstall the game and go get it on GoG, or if it'll be fixed in the next couple of days.

Thanks Taril your right! I thought about it a bit and pretty much figured it out. LoL Thanks again!

Danke dir für die Info 😊.

Beim nächsten Mal durchspielen (wird wohl noch ein paar mal passieren 😂) werde ich Screenshots machen und aufschreiben, wo der Satz kommt.

LARIAN!
Please make the version v4.1.16995620 available on Steam though Game Versions & Betas.
Only Patches 7 and 6 are curently available there.



Let us play the game, while you work on the next Hot Fix.

I forgot one more mod : You need to change Gale's voice to female. There are a few versions that you can use here : https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2702

I used voice style A myself.You can find YT vids where you can listen to all of them and select the one you like most.

Some further encouragement :


Before BG3 I never installed a mod for any game, so it was all a completely unknown for me also. It turned out to be quite straightforward and I have about sixty mods active now. Here are a few tips to get started :

In order to install Nexus mods, there are 2 ways. One is a tool from Nexus itself, which is called Vortex. People who use this say it automates and simplifies everything. People who don't use it say it often makes wrong decisions and screws up. I don't knowh how good it is, because I only used the other, more manual way with the BG3 mod manager.

That is an executable you can download, and I suggest you check out one or a few youtube video's that explain the interface. They're not long video's, it really isn't rocket science.

When you get BG3MM running, you can use this program to download and install script extender (in the menubar "tools" item). That will also automatically update it if needed.

Then you're all set up to install your mods. Go to the mod page in Nexus, read the description attentively, as well as the requirements. Then go to the "files" tab and download the file(s) needed to your PC. Normally these are .pak or .zip files.

So my procedure is then to click on BG3MM menu "file->import mod", select the downloaded files. The names of the mods now appear in the right pane of BG3MM.
Then to activte them, you drag them from the right to the left pane and set the loading order right. Mods are loaded one after the other, so if there are dependencies or overrides then you need to drag themup and down in the list. For the 3 mods you need I don't think it's a thing, but I would put the enhanced edit mods first and the galepal mod after them. The voice mod is a bit special, it goes directly to an override section. No need to do anyhthing more for it.

Then, and this is the thing that most beginners (me included) forget, you must go in menu "file" and click "save order" and espcecially "export order to game". If you forget that last one nothing will happen.

And that's it. Just one more thing. I said it before, but can't repeat it enough : Read the description. Nothing so annoying for the modders as users that complain there's a bug, it's not working, but they didn't do what the description told them to do.

With the mod installed, Gale automatically gets the female body type 1 and the standard mods look. With the enhanced edit mod you can remodel it immediately. You don't need to go to the magic mirror. There's an icon in your command bar that you can click at any place to start the procedure.

In my current PT, I have a normal Tav, but run an all female squad, so these are (from LTR) Wyll, Astarion and Gale.
