xENJAJVEx Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hello Feel free to ignore the wall of text. I'm just wondering what are your guy's thoughts on modding Fallout 4? How easy is it going to be? For example, quest mods... With a voiced protagonist and a dialogue system which revolves around a voicedplayer character, I think it'll be pretty awkward when it comes to quest mods. I know there might be one or tworeally large projects with multiple voice actors but those smaller mods with only 20 endorsements or so/made by people who can't afford to hire professionals, etc. are quite frankly, some of the best ones out there, in my opinion of course. Although, I do have an idea on how to combat this... Why not grab the bull by it's horns and strip Fallout 4 of it's voiced playercharacter/completely revamp the dialogue so that it's similar to how it was in every other Fallout to date? A lot of effort, yes. It'dtake time (years?) as you'd probably have to manually type up all the dialogue into a dialogue window. But, it's doable. Becauseif someone did this for the community, then the people who prefer a 'muted' PC or in other words, the traditional dialogue systemcan be satisfied and also people like me who could use it in combination with a mod that doesn't have voice acting - it'd make alot of people happy. I doubt I'm the first person to think of this and I know somewhere out there is a hardcore Fallout fan who lovesevery Fallout (even the Originals) who'll ensure Fallout 4 is modded into Oblivion so that it suits their fairly acquired tastes. Removingthe forced voiced dialogue, in my opinion, would be paramount to modding Fallout 4/overhauling it to be more like previous Fallouts. Of course, if that doesn't happen... Quest mods are going to be difficult to work with/gonna take a lot more effort to design. So, that'sjust one thing right there and by far the most obvious. Honestly, this is probably the only thing I'm worried about when it comes toFallout 4 and modding (which is a massive part of the experience) but that won't stop me from enjoying it. Anyways, your thoughts? Feel free to discuss, share your opinions, etcetera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorKaizeld Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 who can't afford to hire professionalshire? you realize just about every voice actor who has contributed to a mods creation hasnt been paid right? it's all volunteer work for the most part. either way this topic has been discussed quite extensively here: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/2989934-f4-mod-question-difficult-with-main-character-now-talking/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted there (I resurrected the post although it wasn't that long since someone last posted). Now, I should probably delete this post but it took me an hour to write up so I don't want to. I'll just go to bed now and hope some wizard makes it disappear. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relios Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Honsetly, I dont see the whole issue with the voicing. Quest mods wont be able to be voiced for the protagonist, sure that'll be insonsitent, but it wont be game-breaking. I mean, can't be worse than some of the quest mods here in NV that has forced-dialogue options with wording I'd never use for a character. Sure, the choices in the prompts shown to us in the preview are rather.... bare bones, and the bulk of the player-dialog is delivered as the voice with the prompt only showing the gist, but that doesnt mean you wont be able to, you know, write the whole dialogue choice to show up in the prompt. If anything, I feel some modders are really going to have a bit of a hard time with custom power armors. I mean, its great that powal power armor, ther armors are finally, like, actuings that turn you into a literal walking tank instead of just having you wear bulky clothing with higher stats, but that suit-up animation with the cascading theme, and extra meshing and textures for the inside. Really, it looks like the effort required for custom power armor, aside from just retextures, is gonna skyrocket a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcdenton2012 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I said it once, and I'll say it again... I'm building Miami for Fallout 4. Now, how much I can add in NPC content is still up in the air. In the end, we'll all just need to take a look at the F4 GECK to see how they intend to implement that stuff.

It's up to Bethesda what they do with the series. And a game's a game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorKaizeld Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Yeah as far as i know we do not like people who charge money for content here.no one can legally charge money, though im not against modders being paid. Other then Steam... I dont think anybody here on the nexus OB/F3/FNV/TESV does or has ever made any money working on mods, and i for one would look down apon anybody who has.there is a donation system on the Nexus and only one modder as far as anybody knows has made anywhere near a hundred dollars. EDIT: i guess some people offer money to see mod request get attention, but i think this is a dirty tactic that should not be allowed here.it's a banable offense on the Nexus actually.
