It’s just a shame that the official mod tools are so neutered in the name of Wizards being able to protect their brand. No custom asset support, no map editor, no cutscene editor, no new NPCs or dialog, etc.
Basically, you are limited to making new gear (but limited to gear models that already exist), tweaking spell effects, and custom dice skins apparently.
One can hope, but some features like a level editor may be too much to bet on.
At the very least, the official mod tools don’t seem like they’ll be adding anything that modders haven’t already figured out how to do themselves, so we’re no worse off than we were.

I have a sneaking suspicion modders will find ways to expand that repertoire.

Fuck WotC. I hope to support Larian on their next project, but I only bought BG3 begrudgingly on the basis of how much I dislike wizards.
What the hell. That’s dumb af
