Baldur's Gate Creation Contests?

[Kaliesto]

Usually in various modding communities that sometimes there will be contests in attempt to introduce original content, but do you all believe there is enough interest in something like this for Baldur's Gate? Surprisingly even old communities like Morrowind still try to make new stuff.

 

New Creatures, new portraits, new areas ( and maybe to help replace recycled maps by Mod Author Request for certain mods), etc.

There is a lot of new and original contents still produced for Baldur's Gate. The new EE generation has encouraged a lot of new and (some old) modders to spawn new ideas.

- A lot of big old mods have been modernised (Northern Tales, Dark Side, Check the Bodies, Vault, The Darkest day etc)

- large new mods adding significant contents were produced (Southern Edge, Sandrah Saga, Deep Gardens etc)

- uncountable new NPCs and their stories are created

- there is a constant flow of new kits, spells etc

 

Contests have rarely produced valid material that sustains. Just think of those *One-Day-NPCs* once created in a contest. Good mods need their time and are released when the author feels like it.

 

If any game and community has survived over time due to constant input of new mods and new ideas, then it is Baldurs Gate.
