So I hit level 5 on my new Barbarian run, and I have a ton of content to still do before I head to the Under-dark (I am using the LvlUp mod by Oiff and it works fine for melee but requires additional help for cantrip progression). It requires MoreFeats to be installed witch is Awesome sauce in itself...Polearm Master is delivering steady opportunity attacks + bonus action attack (As it should). Great selection of feats!
There should be no such thing as balancing until Larian has implemented the higher levels and multi-class. The difficulty now will be like story mode for many.
I am loving Barbarian so far! Warlock is so great, but its nice to break out of the pen and paper rut of making warlock variants. Warlock is so good, that I could see it complimenting Barbarian, however I am thinking that Barbarian Rogue (Totem / Thief) might be a good pairing. Fast hands, Evasion, Expertise, Uncanny Dodge, Sneak attack dice for bow will only make a tanky class be more tanky and spanky.
If you want to mod this is a good tutorial .
Be warned the mod directory has been moved to an obscure location, but can easily be opened by running the BG3 mod manager and selecting "Open Mods Folder" from the "Go" Pull down menu.
Also, watch carefully where she clicks to start the download for the mod manager, because the highlighted text says something like latest version...NOT download.
Lastly, you can't just unzip the folders and dump them in there. You unzip, open them and then place the .pak files into the Mod Folder. I am not even sure why the jsn files are even there, but you may need to read the "Read Me" txt files if you download certain mods. Install them one at time if some work and others do not. Half-elf variant worked fine with me. It requires the Patch3ModFixer to be in the folder (as do others), but it won't even show up in the Mod Manager list...don't worry about that and just make sure it is in the Mod folder.
It took me a while to get the hang of this Mod Manager because on my first play through I manually entered the mod information into my profile. That was surprisingly painless at the time, but this is easier to swap out and try new mods.
Unity Mod Manager should work just fine by official launch.
This Youtuber has very good reviews of some mods...this video gives a background of the events between BG2 and BG3. This is the official pen and paper adventure that is being referenced by Larian to base the background of their story.
