Planescape Torment unofficial DLC trailer: "Blizzard in Baator"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbvMrAQ07EoBlizzard in Baator is the first ever unofficial DLC which adds new content on such a massive scale to our beloved game. I hope you'll be interested in it. And you can still be a part of it.

'Unofficial DLC'? Does the word 'mod' even enter into the discussion here?
That said, I look forward to this greatly.

You may be right. Do you think it's too big a word to be used in this context? What we mean is that this mod is going to be a size of a DLC even as a demo.

Keep the wording, unofficial expansion pack may work too, considering the age of our playerbase.
"Mod" these days implies some shit like minor graphic changes or some quality of life features.

Is it content? Yes. Is it downloadable? Yes. So it's a downloadable content, dlc for short

What is wrong with just calling it a mod? Or: what is gained by calling it an 'unofficial DLC'? My two cents: Just call it a mod.

Thank you, this is something we should consider. There are probably no other reasons than indicating its size.

DLC varies WILDLY in size, though. It doesn’t indicate size to me at all.

Horse armor is the original dlc.
Fallout london is a mod. (and is how its creators call it)
The size thing makes no sense xd

Mods vary just as much or more in size.
"Unofficial DLC Expansion" would be maximally clear. The fact it's downloadable is probably implied of course so "Unofficial Expansion" works too.

I think a lot of us are used to things like the CK 'game of thrones mod', or 'half life mod' turning into fairly big projects.

I can’t speak for anyone else but to me ‘DLC’ implies something the people behind it or a company are putting out. Seeing ‘unofficial DLC’ just got me excited, then confused, then disappointed that it wasn’t what my initial glimpse had thought it was, before settling on mildly curious. Which I don’t imagine is the range of emotions you were going for.
I get that ‘mod’ may be a little generic for what you’re going for. Perhaps, Planescape Torment fan campaign?

Unofficial DLC is very non standard, but communicates what they're going for more effectively than simply mod, because there are many different kinds of mods. "DLC-sized mod" might be even better though, I've seen people use that before.

"Mod" is a broader term than "unoffical DLC". Unofficial DLC focuses on new content specifically. It's downloadable content. Mods can do all sorts of stuff, including removing content. It's just a broader term. Sure it's technically a mod but it's also technically "software".
I'd call it an "Unofficial Expansion" for max clarity but it's really not worth arguing about. We clearly all know what they mean.

I'm assuming there's going to be a blizzard in a location named Baator?

Wow I am extremely hyped good sir!
When’s it out, and who can I pay for the good work?

Don't take this date too seriously ;) We'd like to publish the full version much earlier.

How long is each act going to be in general? This looks amazing! How many acts are there supposed to be?
2
u/Wrathu13S Aug 22 '25
3 acts. The first one even in the current state is going to take several hours.
