📋 About This Mod

In vanilla BG3, the Silence spell has all of its effects rolled into a single status. That means that one can't be deafened without also being silenced and vice versa. This mod separates the SILENCED status into SILENCED (affects dialogue and casting), SILENCED_MOVEMENT (should affect making detectable noise), SILENCED_THUNDER_IMMUNITY (thunder immunity is not an effect of being silenced or deafened, it is an effect of being within an area of silence), and DEAFENED (mostly a flag to handle immunity to things like Luring Song).

Also creates two pseudo status groups SG_Deafened and SG_Silenced. They should respond to the important uses such as HasStatus(), RemoveStatus(), and StatusImmunity(), but adding your own statuses to them is a little different (see below). There is also an IsDeaf(entity) check to save you some time/effort.

Instead of the normal method of adding SG_Whatever to data "StatusGroups", to add a status to one of these status groups, use the following:

data "OnApplyFunctors" "ApplyStatus(SG_Whatever)"

data "OnRemoveFunctors" "SetStatusDuration(SG_Whatever,-1,Add)"

data "RemoveEvents" "OnApply;OnStatusRemoved"

data "RemoveConditions" "not HasStatus('SG_Whatever')"

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Un-Deafening Silence is a small utility mod for Baldur's Gate 3 that splits the SILENCED status into separate conditions like DEAFENED, enabling individual reference and use. It also adds a 'Deafness' passive for permanently deaf characters or races, plus two pseudo-statuses. With 29 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche tool for modders and roleplayers.

✨ Key Features

Separates SILENCED into multiple statuses (e.g., DEAFENED) for individual use.
Adds a 'Deafness' passive to facilitate permanently deaf characters or races.
Includes two pseudo-statuses (details not specified).

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Tiny but dedicated following (29 endorsements) — clearly fills a niche for status-effect tinkerers.
  • Last updated April 2024, so it's fresh and likely compatible with current game patches.
  • Opens up roleplay possibilities for deaf characters without breaking core mechanics.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only 29 endorsements means it's barely tested by the community; expect potential bugs or conflicts.
  • The 'two pseudo' feature is incomplete in the description — you'll have to dig into the files to understand what they do.
🎯 Is This For You?
For BG3 modders and roleplayers who want finer control over status effects, especially for creating deaf characters or races. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls — this is a backend utility, not a content mod.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod tweaks status effects, test it in a save before committing — it might interact with other mods that modify SILENCED.
  • Check the mod's forum posts or comments for any hidden instructions, as the description is sparse.
  • If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other status mods.
