168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 7 was released last week, adding the long-awaited modding toolkit to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Larian Studios' beloved RPG. Though Larian has previously stated they can't officially support a level editor because of "cross-platform technical constraints" and because Baldur's Gate 3 is a licensed product, the developers didn't make it very difficult for the community to unlock the level editing features of the toolkit.
Siegfre, a user on Nexus Mods, has released an . This functionality includes level and save editing, something that fans of the ga♏me desperately wanted. The possibilities are now endless, with the community able to create entire expansions and campaigns.
