Modding for BG3 illegal?

[woops]

Modders have not purchased a license from Wizards of the Coast. It is highly likely that making mods is ILLEGAL and people could go to prison for making new content that is based on DND. This is probably also the reason why Larian isn't ever releasing a mod editor.. the fan creators would simply all go to prison when they release unlicensed campaigns.

Hacking isn't modding. FFS.

For reference:
"Bowser's guilty plea stated that despite "tens of millions of dollars" in sales, he personally made an estimated $320,000 over seven years. Team Xecuter's devices, Bowser admitted in his plea, were primarily designed to allow pirated ROM playing."

Plus people keep missing that he was selling them.

Which is different than non-commercial modding.

Yes it's illegal, if you change a character's haircolor, Larian will call your local police station and have you arrested for life.

Yep. For reference, take a look at OP's posting history.

Its gotten to the point you need mods to make some games work or some games to even start. Some games need them for the content they are missing or just extra features.

I couldn't imagine a world without mods, without the restore content mods for Kotor1/2 without the mod needed to start a Tales of Game I played in the past, without mods to make Skyrim what it can be. (Cause honestly, Skyrim rose to popularity due to mods) Civ 5 modded.

Beat Sabre would be a dead game no one plays without mods.

The best thing devs can do is support them and especially, let steam workshop have its go. It only helps and supports game, and honestly, makes the devs of the game money.

If they were ever "illegal" Many studios might shut down and we'd have many less official games to play.
