Mr King Posted June 12, 2017 Author Posted June 12, 2017 Looks more like they're trying out a new way to market DLC. Ok Bethesda games have been aptly described as an inch deep and a mile wide before. Now that they will have the community churning out content they can charge for, I can only image that is going to get better and not worse.... Plus mods DLC with all of that good old fashioned Bethesda quality assurance
Brian Kennedy Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I'm sorry that a video game has your panties in such a twist.
Mr King Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 I'm sorry that a video game has your panties in such a twist. lol I thought after your hissy fit you blocked me? You want a link to that "bondage" mod?
Brian Kennedy Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 No thanks, actually have an IRL (is that what you kids call it?) sex life.
Mr King Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) No thanks, actually have an IRL (is that what you kids call it?) sex life. Nice, high five! lol Edit to add - by the way Harold I apologize for the tone of my reply. You did not say anything , and have not ever said anything, that warranted me being a sarcastic dick to you. I just got done chewing someone a new asshole in real life, and was still pissed off when I put fingers to keyboard to reply. Edited June 13, 2017 by Mr King

You did not say anything , and have not ever said anything, that warranted me being a sarcastic dick to you. I just got done chewing someone a new asshole in real life, and was still pissed off when I put fingers to keyboard to reply. No problem. My point was that unlike previous monetizing schemes for mods this one is, or at least appears to be, entirely optional. You can buy stuff from the official store or not as you choose. Currently Bethesda, as far as I know, has only sold campaigns/new areas as DLC, but with this they can start selling skins, and various digital doodads. I suspect that a lot of the stuff will be developed in house but they will approach select community mod designers about creating stuff for them as well. Personally I don't mess with mods all that much so it's no big deal to me but I can understand why people get worked up about it.
Fritz Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Dunno about FO4 but Skyrim at this point is all about mods. I'd be shocked if you can find even one player who plays pure vanilla Skyrim.
Harold Jones Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 I still suffer under the delusion that companies should release a playable game and that if you need to install community created mods to make it so then the company has failed and should not be rewarded with my money. Plus, I'm too lazy to deal with managing mods. It seems like every patch breaks them and then there are the joys of figuring out which mods don't play nice with each other.
Fritz Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 I still suffer under the delusion that companies should release a playable game and that if you need to install community created mods to make it so then the company has failed No argument. However, when Skyrim first came out it got multiple GOTY awards so apparently it was playable enough for the time. But mods are what made it perhaps the biggest game ever and are what's keeping it still alive. The special edition would have injected a lot more life in it if the script extender crew had the time to redo it but at this point it doesn't seem it's ever happening so I'm not sure where things are going now.
Harold Jones Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 I mostly remember people loving the game and hating the UI when it came out. Maybe I'll pick up a copy this fall/winter when I have time to do some gaming.
urbanoid Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Dunno about FO4 but Skyrim at this point is all about mods. I'd be shocked if you can find even one player who plays pure vanilla Skyrim. Seems I wasn't doing that right.
GARGEAN Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Dunno about FO4 but Skyrim at this point is all about mods. I'd be shocked if you can find even one player who plays pure vanilla Skyrim.Me. Well, only visuals, but not alternative, just hi-res.
Fritz Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) FO4 base now $15 on Steam (summer sale). edit: not proud of myself but I bought it finally. Edited June 22, 2017 by Fritz
Fritz Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Not that I'm surprised or anything but...when my free trial ended I had just started the Valentine quest... so I just continued my save from then... well turns out it causes persistent CTDs when you get to 114... so basically I got to play my new purchase for about an hour before I hit a hard CTD wall...
Harold Jones Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 FO4 base now $15 on Steam (summer sale). edit: not proud of myself but I bought it finally.I just picked up Skyrim on the steam sale.
Fritz Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Skyrim or Skyrim Special Edition? (I am not sure if they are sold separately)
Fritz Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) One thing about mods, you "don't" have to install any but I STRONGLY recommend you get at least the unofficial patch. I'm going to install the FO4 unofficial patch now and see if it fixes my CTD. *** I'm not going to install the FO4 unofficial patch because it requires all DLC and I only bought the base game Edited June 23, 2017 by Fritz
Colin Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Special editionYou like it, very stable, once SKSE64 comes along it will be great.
