BG3; modding the game.

In the tradition of these games, Larian have published sufficient to allow mods to be written. Here are my notes and links, with my view of “how to” and some links to several “how to” videos.

Playing with Shadowheart in BG3

I am traveling with Shadowheart and am curious about the best build to use for her. I’ve had a look at a couple of optimisers’ takes on Shadowheart. In this little note, I look at the newcomers and then review an older perspective which comes primarily from Treantmonk. I look at those who comment on…

Hero Wars

Originally attracted by the dungeon puzzles, I became hooked. A fantasy setting … complex character management mechanics. But I became bored with it; there’s insufficient agency in levelling up, and/or even party membership selection. I gave up with this. I have kept my links & notes online …

VIKING BERSERKER (Bear Warrior)

This is a mirror of the Epic Guild page, which it seems has now disappeared. I have added a link to my fan video of a shifter/werebear below/overleaf which was originally posted in my article, Rendering New Age Video, on this wiki.

NWN – Some Modules

There’s only so many times one can play the official campaigns and after about 4 years I began to look for additional content. Obviously I have the Kingmaker Expansions, but for various reasons I decided to look further. This page is impacted by the bioware hack and also by the collapse/destruction of the original vault….
