i hate to say but I think WOTC will make it difficult to release a campaign editor. i know previous games like NWN2 had them but I just have a bad feeling...
I don't think it will be as open as DOS2's editor
Don't say that. I mean really? BG3 editor not as open as DOS2 one? That would be a disappointment.
I'm not fully familiar what is the licence status. WotC or Larian owns the rights to Baldur's Gate? So Larian doesn't have full rights? I'm confused.
From the official announcements I rather got the impression, that the creation of BG3 is a big strain for a company like Larian and they struggle with main technical issues of the game. Nothing about the licence problems was mentioned. So they would rather focus 100% on the main game production, rather than side-steping and preparing the editor for release and open yet another bag of problems. The editor would be based on the unfinished game, which is still undergoing fundamental changes. That was my understanding.
Still, can we mod anything about BG3 even without the editor?
