NWN 2 MotB remake in BG3 engine and 5E plox

I'd rather it stayed 3.0/3.5 for NWN, but that's just because that is my favorite system.

A party of level 40 characters is just about unstoppable.

I bet Larian is like, "Oh no, Hasbro this is terrible! We locked down the editor best we could, but those conniving hackers broke the protections to make creative custom content for our game. What will we ever do? 😏"

I am not sure how much credit I want to give Larian here yet, because the editor for DOS2, under their IP, also had a somewhat locked down editor.

I really hope that it wasn't just an accident on their side, but malicious compliance on how they 'locked down' their editor, and they will offer similar open mod tool in their future games.

We might see if they continue to release patches for the mod tools, while not patching that 'mod'.

"Jailbroken" is a bit of an exaggeration. It is just a mod for the editor.

They didn't put any technical hurdles in place to break out of in order to remove the restrictions. They used .NET which is easy to decompile and patch, as seen with all the unity mods out there. They could have used obfuscation, which would hinder the effort a bit, but didn't.

"Jailbroken" is also the wrong word, their is no jail, when we already have full permissions to change whatever file we want.
