But in order to maintain the same level of dialogue, we need people to understand that these conversations take time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Which is fair. I can&apos;t imagine the unenviable task of untangling a deluge of feedback (something Dowse calls a &#8220;giant web of noise&#8221;) that large\u2014nor the task of making changes to a sprawling RPG like Baldur&apos;s Gate 3. &#8220;If you truly want to know things about the game, please don\u2019t chip away at the people who connect us all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dowse adds that &#8220;99.9% of our community are the absolute best and it\u2019s because of them\u2014 thankfully\u2014that my community team perseveres.

If we cannot do that, and we have to draw distance, it\u2019ll really suck for everyone, especially us and definitely you. Please help us to work for the greater good of the millions of people who are involved and chill.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&apos;s a double-edged sword that comes with this kind of approach\u2014especially with a game that&apos;s this popular. Developers gain a lot by listening closely to feedback, talking with their players, and putting a face to their names on social media. On the other hand, they also open themselves up to the masses at large. While only a small portion of said masses are nasty, the law of large numbers kicks in very quickly: 0.5% of a million people is still 5,000 angry strangers yelling at you.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, mod support is coming, but &#8220;until then, BG3 does not yet have mod support \u2026 Our focus is to patch the game while working on future mod support.
