[Mod]Deviously Cursed Loot (BG3)

[408p]

Is there a way to trigger these events? I've opened a bunch of chests and none of them have triggered.

You can configure the trigger chance in the MCM. By default, it is 5%, so you will need to open 20 different chests on average to trigger a curse.

If you are unsure if it works, set it to 100% for testing purposes.

Only significant containers count, like chests or sarcophagus. Only containers that have never been opened before have a chance to trigger a curse.

Yesterday I had found a mod:

Assuming the author wouldn't mind - perhaps the assets could have been of some use?🥴

Oh, shiny!

Speaking of mods with assets that may be of use: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/10346

I saw this one on the nexus today. Looks like it mostly has collars, but it also has wrist and ankle cuffs.

[Garfieldcat]

Haha, yeah just saw it as well and rushed in here to mention it  
That's probably the closest thing to DD we could get in BG3 unless someone truly dedicated would bother making linked stuff with collision physics etc. 
LazyIcarus had plans for BG3, but currently his mod seems to be on hold.

Guess I really ought to figure out how to deal with assets, right now I really don't have a clue, so don't expect too quick progress.

But in theory we have a couple nice collars for the first curses and leg restraints for the hobbled curse, that's nice. 🙂

Excellent mod. I liked it so much I even added a new curse based on Lewd Idle and Walking Animations mod that was posted here recently. You're free to add it to the base mod or make something similar! Thanks again for this mod.

Wow, very cool! 😍

Thanks a lot, I've added your curse to the mod.

Truth be told I'm not playing/modding BG3 much at all anymore, so if you have further ambitions in expanding this mod or putting your own spin to it, be my guest.

Dirty Dancing(?) curse is way too punishing. 5 turns stunned?

Awesome, I'll keep that in mind.

numbers could deffo be tweaked, I didn't put much thought in balance when playing around with it.

...and I didn't test it, only looked at the code before merging. Aren't the release conditions a DC 20 wisdom saving throw each turn or receiving damage?

Definitely needs tweaks to duration and spread before its usable in anything other than story mode.  Due to the curse lengths and the ease of spread for the dancing one, I just spent 15-odd turns trying to get through the 3 ogres in act 1.  My very first curse was dirty dancing, entire party, 2 crits to remove.  Problem is, it lasts way too long, strips equipment and seemingly has no cooldown stage to "catching" it again from another party member - kind of frustrating when 3/4 of the party is melee, and the 4th is mostly melee, especially with fights taking so long.  And even after all that, no-one had made a crit because they were barely able to attack, so next fight would be the exact same thing.

 

Seriously, very fun in principle, was hilarious watching Lae'zel twerking while they were trying to hit her, but when it lasted for so long, I had to use virtually every spell slot and healing potion I had, ended up just re-loading as the dancing + stripping meant it was 7 turns to actually be do anything, assuming you didn't get caught in another round of "joining in".

 

There are already a ton of options built in, which are great, can we just get options to change the 'active' variables like duration, spread chance and anything else happening during the actual combat?

Possible, though probably simpler to just tune the stats to keep them reasonable.

[kaladal]

Whatever is easiest.  I'm trying to selectively enable/disable it to get rid of the ones my party has atm, that needing crits one is a beast though.  Should be able to re-enable it fully with some heavy modifications using the sliders already built in, and provide some more feedback then.

 

Worth noting that most fights take a handful of turns, so anything that takes a character out for more than a couple of them can cause real problems unless you are one of the min-maxers that solos Honour mode.

 

Also stripping equipment is a massive pain in the ass, not just because you have to re-equip during the fight, which costs another turn just to equip a single weapon, but means you have to set up the hotbar again.  The standalone option is fine, the player can control that, but it would be great to remove the stripping from the vines and dirty dancing so they are less rage quit inducing.

Ahaha sorry I was on vacation and totally forgot about this thread. Here, I nerfed the crap out of the curse, (no longer affects summons, easier WIS save DC, and the lesser version is now a helpable condition.) Hopefully this should be less rage inducing. Feel free to tweak the numbers.

 

Here are the relevant statuses.

 

new entry "LEWDDANCE_LESSER"
using "Lewd_Animation_EFFECT"
data "Boosts" "Advantage(AttackTarget);Disadvantage(AttackRoll);ActionResourceBlock(Movement);ActionResourceBlock(ActionPoint);Disadvantage(SavingThrow,Dexterity);DialogueBlock()"

Hey king, is there a way to make the curses chest opening member only? I like the idea of this mod but only in an d/s kind of setting.

I don't quite understand your proposal. Do you mean only the person that opens the chest can get cursed?

[XXLBR]

Yeah, or any way to prevent specific party members from receiving curses,

[Synthy]

So I know this is a dead thread. Hoping you still hear it. Have you considered like collars of submission and or bimbofying things? feminizing. I feel like you made a good base. But like living armor would be... Pretty hot. Especially considering the eldritch theme of the game.

[Siudhne]

I'm not actively modding right now, but thanks for the ideas.

[AstaWolf]

Just wanted to say that there is still interest in the mod progressing incase you needed any incentive

Very kind of you. 🙂

While I was digging through the starting chest with modded items, which are also found in various chests, just to equip my Tav, I cursed everyone at the party. Isn't that how it's supposed to work?
