Better Hints and New Loading Screens v1.2

You have seen "The Dead Three..," hint three thousand times? You are familiar with control, but game keeps reminding you keybinds every other load? You tired of vanilla loading screens? Look no further, this mod has new hints and new screens.

New hints: I have 2 versions for you, both include 47 hints:

  1. Tidbits about lore - short, 1-2 lines long, mostly about locations, orgs and deities of Faerun. For players new to BG series.
  2. Chosen NPC quotes from BG2 - one-liners from Minsc, Jaheira, Edwin, Jan and others. For vets primarily. 

New loading screens: 40 of them, midjourney-made, relatively generic, but (I hope!) - all immersive. Will add more later, as well as actual artworks related to BG3/Faerun/Forgotten Realm.

Installation:

New Hints: choose one pack, drop .pak from archive to user/appdata/local/larian studios/baldur's gate 3/mods. r install archive with BG3 Mod Manager or Vortex.

New Loading screens:

  1. Install .pak from New Loading Screens archive like you did with hints. 
  2. Unzip Loading Screen Textures archive and drop Data folder to your game Root folder (...\steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\).
  3. You need both files installed, but don't mix up! Archive with .pak goes to your /user/ folder, archive with /Data/ folder - to Steam/GOG game folder!

Uninstallation:
Remove BetterHints.pak, NewLoadingScreens.pak and folder ...\steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Public\Game\GUI\Assets\LoadingScreen\).

Download:
