[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9296155, member: 18"] A DM mode unfortunately goes way beyond what a level creation kit could do. A DM mode requires the DM to be able to assume control of NPCs and the world and make things happen. Larian, Swen in fact, specifically and clearly stated that they had absolutely no interest in doing that with BG3, even later on. So I think it's safe to say there will never be a DM mode for BG3, unless someone goes far beyond what even normal modding could do. But if they release their "creation kit" equivalent, people should at least be able to make levels, area, adventures, and so on. The trouble is, history relates that they mostly won't. If you look at games where people [I]can[/I] create adventures and areas, almost none of the mods for them do - it's incredibly rare because it's incredibly high effort, and gets higher-effort every year. Indeed. I agree re: hoping we can see some nuance. WotC wants squeaky-clean worlds, PG-rated worlds, which is funny for a game about fringe members of society going out risking their lives killing people and monsters and taking their stuff. Larian actually hit that middle line between grimdark and too-clean pretty well with BG3. Whereas they did not with DOS2, which was pure grimdark. [/QUOTE]
