"Modding"?

Post by silverd »

So is my understand correct that you can't actually "mod" LoG2?

I'd really like to replay LoG2 but with a few modifications.
Right now this doesn't seem possible at all, we'd have to recreate the whole campaign just to add an extra item or change a set bonus?

Is it really not possible to import original campaign into the editor to change a few things, aside from the limited stuff you can do with the lua console?

Something like the Master Quest from LoG1 would be a whole lot easier, and that was the best "mod" for LoG1 by a long shot.

I know. Which makes a Master Quest equivalent for LoG2 much less promising (besides the fact that the author doesn't have time) because LoG2 is so much larger.

I mean, I just don't see why they did it this way. It would be so much fun to replay the campaign with added bells and whistles, items, sets.
It will be months if not years by the time someone makes a dungeon of equal scope that would be worth spending a weekend playing.
And in the meantime there is only the default unmoddable campaign to replay over and over :\

Eh, just ranting :P

Uh? What would be wrong with having a copy of the campaign as a custom dungeon you could import into the editor to improve upon it?
I beat the game with 77/77 17/17, there is nothing else to do.

It's an amazing game, that even has an editor, but you can't really do anything with it short of making your own huge campaign if you have that kind of time... I think it's a shame, personally, don't know what would be wrong with editing the campaign at your heart's content.
Every other game that has an editor allows editing its own campaign. Shrug.
