I get that a lot of people's Baldur's Gate 3 experiences were different from mine, but one thing that surprised me? How many swear the game's mod scene was essential to their experience. The big changes like new spells or classes always felt out of place in this RPG system I'd grown to love so much, while the small quality of life tweaks that really appealed to me always seemed like too much of a bother to get working. Now that the in-game mod browser makes installing them a no-hassle, one click process, I get it. BG3 modding, I apologize, I wasn't really familiar with your game.
Compared to the general population of PC gamers, I definitely fall on the more "preserve the original vision" end of the scale—at least ever since some combination of weird custom elves and script extender shenanigans left me with a permanently haunted Elder Scrolls Oblivion install in 2008. Total conversion projects or cut content restoration notwithstanding, I usually only go for fan patches and small tweaks or additions.
