This week,CD Projekt Redannounced thatThe Witcher 3is getting an official mod editor.

“Were planning on releasing it for free in 2024.”

But, I’m more excited about the potential of this kind of tool coming to other games.

But as much as I liked that expansion, I still felt likeNight City was frustratingly closed off.

I’m jealous, but not jealous enough to become that kind of player myself.

Act 1 is some all-time good gaming and, so far, Act 3 is just as rewarding.

This is where a mod could come in.

The Shadow-Cursed Lands feels, appropriately, a little barren.

Again, that’s thematically appropriate, but it makes the middle-section very combat heavy.

I would love for my second trip through Act 2 to be bolstered by more quests.

Unfortunately, in Baldur’s Gate 3’s case, this kind of update is extremely unlikely.

I guess I’ll just have to dream about a more populated Shadow-Cursed Lands.

Or pray that Larian adds more content for the inevitable Baldur’s Gate 3 - Definitive Edition.
