Don’t forget we moved!

Baldur's Gate 3
-
@Cobalt The data mismatch warning happens for pretty much all mods (unless you have a mod specifically to remove it). So if it’s JUST that left, you can safely ignore it.
-
@SpaceKhomeini You should only need the Script Extender at this point(unless the mod specifically states you need both). In Patch 2, I believe, Larian built in it’s own mod fixer, because Larian is one of the few devs that supports mods. Also, the Script Extender allows you to still get Steam Achievements while using mods.
I mean hell, in the Definitive Edition of Divinity 2, they include a number of mods that come with the game itself.
@Cobalt The data mismatch is an artefact, but I believe the mod that removes that is the Improved UI mod. I forget off the top of my head which one removes it, but I think it’s that one. So long as you’re launching the game through the BG3 Mod Manager. Vortex is usually my go to for modding PC games since MM2 is not longer supported, but in this instance, BG3MM works so much better.
-
Improved UI does indeed include getting rid of the data mismatch; I think there’s at least one other mod that will do it, too.
The discussion about whether you still need the BG Mod Fixer always seems to be in flux. There was indeed a fix, but I know people still sometimes reported issues that were cleared up by having the BG Mod Fixer mod, so I’ve kept it. Whether or not you need the Script Extender is dependent on what kind of mods you have; if a mod needs it, it’ll specifically say it.
I also use BG3 Mod Manager. I’ve never experienced needing to launch the game from the mod manager, though; everything has worked fine for me still launching from Steam.
-
I’ve generally launch any game I mod through the mod manager if I’m modding it. In my experience that generally tends to create more stable play, but I figure that’s a YMMV situation.
The general consensus I’ve seen is that Mod Fixer and the Script Extender do the same thing, only the former is an actual mod and .pak file that’s loaded into mod order whereas the latter is a .dll file that’s inserted directly into the game’s Data folder. I think Script Extender is more stable, but I agree that some mods might still be dependent on Mod Fixer, depending on when the mod was created and if it’s been updated. I also agree that it’s been debated at length if only one is needed or both are. At this point, I just think it depends on the mod.
-
I don’t often show off characters I make, but I’m actually pretty proud of the Duegar Durge I created recently.
I need to toy around more with the free cam mod.
-
These horny npcs need to cool it!
|the emperor thought it had a chance with me?! When I have Astarion?! Awkward. -
ultimate power move is banging Mizora while romancing Wyll -
@Testament I saw the cut scenes for those, it’s so heart breaking.
-
OK, look. Listen. I’m on Act 3 and it’s great and all but I really really want to play one of the origin characters and try a different Durge game and I know I’ve restarted 100 times (at least) and still haven’t finished the game once but that’s normal, right? RIGHT?!
-
I’ve literally never finished most RPGs with origin systems I start for this exact reason and no it is totally fine and great
-
@Wizz You’ve convinced me, I restarted as Wyll
-
@bear_necessities Apparently playing him and romancing Karlach is a stellar experience.
So of course I’m rolling as Karlach and coming at it from the other side.
-
@bear_necessities I have ten different characters. Only two are in Act Three. Yes, this is normal.
-
I’ve mentioned elsewhere that this game has sort of acted as a temporary replacement for MU*ing for me.
You get the full experience. Really!
-
Gale: Banned from another well-known large game for alleged sex-pest behavior. He’s on his last chance here. Oh shit, it’s your first night in camp and he’s already paging you. Oh, he’s just doing so to tell you about his cat. That’s charming.
-
Lae’Zel: Resident combat twink and self-appointed antagonist player, claims she does it for “roleplay reasons.” Exceedingly unpleasant to deal with IC’ly at first but surprisingly willing to deal with consequences and more of a collaborative roleplayer than you think. If you bother to scene with her.
-
Wyll: Current Wyll grabbed this character on roster, isn’t really feeling it. People were polarized about the last Wyll, but staff booted him. Nobody talks about why.
-
Shadowheart: She’s super chill but stoned all the time, might not respond to pages for days. Is async ok? She sure hopes so. Gets very excited when she discovers pics of her PB with different hair.
-
Karlach: Everyone loves Karlach. It’s kind of unfair, she apped a little late after the main core of active players and missed out on some of the big plots and character ties, plus her main arc with Wyll got thrown for a loop when he got rostered. She posts a lot of great vignettes.
-
Astarion: He’s an edgelord who already got warned once but seems genuine about trying to be better. Also he’s one of those guys who transfers the same character from MU* to MU* but somehow nobody notices. At least he seems self-aware.
-
Halsin: Inoffensive guy who doesn’t get in the way for the most part, but isn’t really active. One of those people who apped a giant dude whose stats don’t make any sense. Also, he’s clearly just here for the TS.
-
Minthara: Sure she died by falling down a pit but that’s ok, her player has a million copy-paste alts just like her. She’ll try to get you into a TS scene but it’s super-creepy.
-
Jaheira: The legacy player from Alpha who’s just obsessed with getting their old alpha buddy (Minsc) back. Everyone else has moved on. Every conversation involves referencing a bunch of shit and people from ages ago.
-
Minsc: Hasn’t MU*ed in years, Jaheira’s incessant pressure and his own frequent drinking habits convinced him to log back on, is surprised he’s having so much fun. It’s been so long the hamster schtick seems fresh again.

@SpaceKhomeini jfc i’m dying
-
@SpaceKhomeini I don’t know how to feel but I’m laughing and crying at the same time
ETA There are relatable names echoing in my head for every one of these wheeze
-
@SpaceKhomeini oh my god, i see myself and i don’t like it

Yeah, I’m not going to pretend I wasn’t picturing someone in each case.
<.<.>

If it makes you feel any better so did I, heh.
But I’m definitely not poor Karlach here. She really is the best of us.

Patch 4 came out today and it’s about 15GBs of updates and tweaks. Which feels like it’s a game in of itself.
But I noticed this.
Booooo, shit game, 0/10.
