Larian says it's going to expand the Baldur's Gate 3 mod toolkit 'to give you even more freedom,' so there goes another 100 hours I've lost to modding

Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 marked the last of Larian's major updates, but that doesn't mean we can't get a hotfix or modding surprise as a treat. As part of the RPG's second anniversary community update, the studio shared a few bite-sized fixes and a quick breakdown of more BG3 player stats. But most notably, the developer revealed that it isn't done working on the official modding toolkit...
