📋 About This Mod
PATCH 8 COMPATIBLE: YES
Jewels: please contact me so I can hand off this update to you! Thank you (:
Jewels' Discordant Instruments is my personal favorite of their mods, and IMO their absolute best one. It’s a beast of a mod, adding over 100 pieces of equipment that are so immersive and well-done, they just belong in this game. It’s a must-have for me. But a big mod often means big bugs, and I’ve encountered a number of them in my time playing with this. Unfortunately, the last update Discordant Instruments received was over a year ago. (You could say BG3 has changed juuuuuust a bit since then.) It’s time to get it back up to speed!
This mod addresses a number of outstanding issues with Discordant Instruments and functions as a replacement, not as a patch. This update will get handed over to Jewels if/when they return to modding. All UUIDs are intact so there shouldn’t be a problem with updating saves mid-game. Existing translation mods are 95% compatible, save for some text corrections and new additions I’ve made.
Why Patch 7? Because instead of finally updating my game to Patch 8 on my dedicated weekend off, I got the flu. 👍 While I can’t personally test for Patch 8 compatibility yet, I did try to account for various Patch 8 changes. Officially tested as of the v1. 4 update!
Here’s what this update adds:
-
[]Better Patch 7+ compatibility by cleaning out ModFixer[/]
[]Fixes for many passives that were broken or never fully implemented[/]
[]QoL changes, like reducing combat log spam and improving trinket synergy[/]
[]Damage rider sanity checks à la Honour Mode[/]
[]German translation (thanks to Verdanndi!)[/]
[]Text corrections and additions[/]
[]A desperate attempt to fix an issue with some boss trinkets not dropping[/]
[]NEW: Patch available to remove class and deity restrictions on trinkets[/]
