Baldur's Gate 3 PATCH 8 OUT NOW! New SURPRISES and Updates!

Gamers, we did it. Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 is OUT NOW! With plenty of new surprises and updates! Most interesting to me is the partial level editing which lets mods authors change the world of BG3, adding new NPCs, items, etc! This opens things up to have some modded quests in the future. I can't wait to see what all comes next with balders gate 3's modding community and this is a amazing final patch for the game. Twelve new subclasses, cross-play play and photo mode is a lot to add to a game as big as BG3. Patch 8 is finally here and there are so many exciting things to come with it, let me know what you're most excited to see!

That's pretty fucking cool that they actually added some of the super helpful modders to the games credits

[thseed]

Larian is currently GOAT status. It never ceases to amaze me how decent they are. Adding awesome modders to the credits is an unheard of level of respect and appreciation that would have been unimaginable coming from any studio. Period.

First and foremost, praise Larian, they’re a light in a very shady industry
Second, time to take photos of my necrotic goon squad dancing on my enemies corpses, we coming for you Wulbren 😂

Author who made Adjustable Party Limit and Tactician Enhanced here, I'm so happy to see you talking about the new toolkit features!

They actually announced that they were going to be adding a lot of this stuff privately to us mod authors last year, and ever since the Patch 8 playtest started we've been having a blast with it. What they ended up giving us is even more than what they initially promised, and not only do the new features allow for various new types of mods that weren't possible before, but even many of the quality of life changes they implemented are game changing in my opinion. Additions such as the Translated String Key editor make it so implementing text into a mod takes only a quarter of the time it used to.

There's still months of work to go before I release my special update for Tactician Enhanced that utilizes some of these new features, but in the meantime, I'm unbelievably excited for what other authors are going to create with these tools!

One more thing: while some features are still strictly off limits (such as the ability to add entirely new levels or new scenery root-templates), a lot of things the toolkit can't explicitly do can be done with workarounds. If you configure an item root template correctly, you can effectively create new placeable scenery. And while we don't have the ability to directly edit dialogs or timelines in the toolkit, authors like Milo have shown that it can still be done manually. Since we can place NPCs in the world now, I expect you'll start seeing the very occasional mod that adds an NPC with new dialogs. Larian has made it clear they're fine with us adding things that aren't possible with the toolkit manually so long as we don't use the unlocked toolkit to do it (since that can cause issues). I plan on taking advantage of these myself in that Tactician Enhanced update I mentioned.

I believe we're going to see the best mods we've ever seen for BG3 in the next few months, and I'm extremely excited!

ImpUI hasn't been required since Patch 7, modders just kept relying on it as a dependency, but it's good to see Larian pushing folks away from it officially. It's beginning to create more headaches than less with compatibility, awesome news.

[Gangerworld]

There's a special place in hell for those who harass console mod authors.

[EKCO]

A big thank you to the the modding community that somehow made an already perfect game even more fun.

[NewYorkSith]

Here’s an idea for a build. The Hulk: Half-Orc Path of the Giant Barbarian

[lukecoulton]

As an Xbox player I was thrilled we were getting mods at all let alone the huge selection we have. I'll never be mad, it's awesome and free. Nothing to complain about!

[tomesofawesome]

What about race mods? Have they been fixed yet?
*Watched video".
THAT'S THE ONE THING I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

[massivesandwich]

It’s upsetting that we can’t have race mods on console, buts that’s like, complaining about the dessert in an 8 course 5 star meal, I’ll always appreciate larian for how well they’ve treated us

[TobiasTStoolage]

We need to be able to disable mods from our playthroughs on PS5. I made a mistake and downloaded too many and now I literally can't play some of my saved playthroughs because we can't disable old mods that we don't need.

[AeronW]

So happy yet sad for this last patch!😭

[myrkflinn]

Shaggy reviewing video games. Im all here for it 😂

[Tyrannotaur]

I am so happy it is finally here!! Larian did an amazing job with this patch and with the animated short.
Going to finally be able to crossplay with my friend later if all things go well. I love the photomode, was messing around with it to get pictures of all my character from the 5 runs I already did. Also finally trying my hand at honour mode with all the new subclasses. It's gonna go horribly bad I'm sure, but wanted to give it a shot finally lol. Thanks for all your coverage and builds. You're awesome!

[Cheriemorris-xo]

Hi Jay, thank you for all your work with BG3. I love the game and having you to discuss and help with all that’s new is a great thing. Really appreciate the time you must put in to do this. My babies (Frenchies) even enjoy listening to you each morning. Cheers from Aus.

[andrewmorales]

People who make these mods are amazing. Amazing video as well.

[azombiemybaby]

Mod authors are doing the Absolutes work.

[kamilookout]

if anyone is having UI issues on their modded playthrough, go through all the UI mods you have installed and disable em. should work then

[arthmontenegro]

Hey Jay, thanks for your work with BG3, because I love this game!
