📋 About This Mod
Does what it says on the tin.
Annoyed with speaking with all those self-important patrons? Annoyed even trying to speak to them because they keep moving and you can't activate? Yeah, me too. Now just ask one patron about both items to progress the quest.
Breaking the Bank - Ask Once is a small gameplay tweak for Baldur's Gate 3 that removes the need to speak to multiple patrons to learn about Dumbrosky and the ES Award. With 124 endorsements and 28,438 downloads, it's a niche quality-of-life improvement for players who find the repeated dialogue tedious.
