Can you imagine what the mod scene for this game will look like in a year or so? It's going to be amazing.

@ivanafterall @theangriestbird @canis_majoris Did they announce mod support?

I would expect some news in the coming weeks.
@dingus Can't wait to have the first two BG remastered à la Skyblivion. Maybe.
My gut feeling is sometime around the original release date? If memory serves, DOS2 got it like the day after launch
Mmmm good point! I'm imagine some of the bigger 5e 3rd parties straight porting their magic items, spells and monsters into the game (monsters would be for custom campaign eventually).
Sure, but people were really mad earlier this year because Wizards of the Coast, the company that owns D&D tried to pull some licencing related shenanigans that would have massively fucked over the community. People were boycotting the movie a couple of months ago over that. It's interesting, that Baldurs Gate seems to not be affected by this at all.

Trogdor ended up being the big bad of my brother-in-law's homebrew campaign that he ran for our family D&D group

It's not small, it's just further away.
Hey momma, I'm not small I'm just really really far away, hoo-ha!
I honestly have no idea how that posted, so when I got your reply I was very confused.
Well, I had already bought BG3 in Early Access before the OGL debacle, and before Hasbro (WotC's parent company) sent the Pinkertons to intimidate some small time Youtuber into giving back some unreleased Magic: the Gathering cards that he had been erroneously sold early by a distributor. So I couldn't very well boycott it when I had already purchased it and played like 30 hours of it.
I'm still not buying new D&D books or MtG cards.
You don't need to justify your purchasing decision to me. I am not even calling for a boycott of the game. I know people at Larian and I wish them all the success they can get.
I am just surprised that this whole thing seems to be completely absent from the larger discussion about this game. I would have assumed, that it would have been at least a footnote.
