Do you think we'll get a level editor?

[MapleShroud]

Considering their making this game pretty sizeable with no real limitations on modding support do you think it would be a good idea for them to release a level editor for custom dungeons/quest lines?

This would be my biggest wish, after removing explosive barrels.

Its my belief that adding this would really make a nice way to really play dnd online with your friends. I can already see a lot of people willing to make their own large scale dungeons. Its already a benefit to that theirs multiplayer support

Would be a great idea and an easy way to immortalize the game. I am certain they're aware of the possibilities of having such a tool in the hands of the players and I find it very plausible, especially if people actively wish for it.

unless wotc will say "NO" to Larian, cuz they wanna sell their new VTT

well if they don't create a custom level creator similar to Solasta then atleast they said they have plans to add modding support by supplying us with modding tools which you could create level with regardless, although it will be alot more difficulty due to it being a game engine rather then a specifically created map maker.

This is why I want a level editor - I have a lot of experience with the Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2 editors, and little else, although I did pkay around a little with NWN a long time ago.

Then again, maybe I'll just ask GPT to do it for me.

while i agree level editor would be great, if I had to choose it would be the engine since that can make everything, you can do anything larian can.

Fingers crossed we get both.

I doubt there'll be a simple level editor. The Divinity Engine mod tools are significantly more powerful and accomplish the same thing; it would be a redundant to have a second, weaker set of tools.

This is really the only thing that makes me doubt if a level editor or a GM mode will exist. wotc is really trying to push the VTT, I'm not sure if they'd want the competition for themselves if BG3's GM mode takes off.

Is there any new information about this?

There was an Italian interview with the team and the answer was as such,
"Not at launch, maybe not at all. It is very very difficult to implement." There are referring to the DO2 one which is an advanced editor which uses the game engine. So it will depend on how much people want it and how much wizards of the coast want to interfere.

yeah I have a feeling WoTC won't let Larian do it, but Larian won't stop modding tools from developing a level editor.

From what I read the modding tools won't be a simple level editor, as all in the game is hand crafted. But you will get access to all the building blocks. Kinda like get a box of lego I guess. What modders can do with this down the road, is another tale.
