Questions about deletions, and mods.

[GL - MB]

1. Is there a simple way to delete characters from within the game, or do I have to locate the files and delete them from the folder?

2. Will a mod-manager be implemented in the game the way Conan Exiles has it? It's so much simpler to have an in-game mod-manager than to operate one from outside it (for me). I've had a difficult time wrapping my head the around the current mod manager for this game. It's my deficit. Not shading anyone. It's a personal problem.

Looking forward to seeing the Druid in action.

I am not sure what you are looking to do where deleting characters from the game, a side from killing them off. Because of the trigger based story line structure you could break other threads in the game.

For the most part the PAK files are read and loaded into tables during game start. I could see those tables being accessible during play if someone was willing to spend the time sorting debugging the core to access and change those variables and scripts.

Personally i hate all the mod solutions out there currently. They all just dance around the file over-ride method built into the game. Folders and files under the Baldurs Gate 3\Data folder in the correct places override their like files contained in the PAK files in the same data folder. The Documents\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods folder is supposed to do the same thing but in an amendment fashion but it does not work for Steam, yet.

Extracting PAK files and placing the correct file in the correct folder location then editing them is far easier to work with. You can edit things on the fly and delete them and the change is gone. Plus you can extract other peoples mods, see what they did, and make those changes to your files as needed.

Are you talking about saved games? Click on profiles at main menu and delete from there but note you must create a new profile and switch to that before you can delete an existing profile.

Yes. I have a large list of saves, and I want to clear it out. I create new characters to test the builds, and play through, but they are building up, and I don't see an option to delete the characters.

Theres a cross next to the profiles when you mouse over them, click that to delete

The answer: Load Campaign - Select Save - Click "X" under the screenshot on the right side of the panel. "X" will be center-bottom. Hovering over "X will display 'Delete Save'.

I found the answer posted on the Larian Studios forum. Answer was provided by tourmaline.
