Okay, I'll try to start this slow trying not to hurry myself because this is kind of big...

 

 

Just like all of us here, I have:
Played Skyrim for a really considerable amount of time,

Created lots of characters and had a good time with most to all of them,

Traveled enough so that the land to actually be able to travel without the map, most of the time,

Tried modding, to make my experience deeper and more rewarding, making it customized to my taste,

Tried learning how to control the game more and more myself

• Finetuned even minor aspects of the game just to enhance it in the details, making it feel really special.

Also:
Suffered with the many, many bugs around the game and the system,
Lost games and even had to fully uninstall and reinstall the game more than a few times,
Seen some s*** so weird happen in the game that I wouldn't quite be able to describe with words,
Wasted a few months just bug-checking, installing, uninstalling, researching, re-checking just so I could install the mods and it ended up looking like I've been getting the game ready for somebody else to play it for some reason.

 

I believe most of us here have passed through all of this. That is the very reason we come back again and again, looking to improve.

I believe Bethesda is always or maybe almost always, haven't really played all the games, able to deliver a well made game.
The Elder Scrolls has a REALLY deep lore and the game designers behind it are true artists just like the writer of any book or screen play.

 

 

 

One thing though, that I've been thinking for a while that Bethesda should have done is to perfect and invest more into this modding community.

Taking into consideration it's quality and potential, Bethesda should have AT LEAST got in contact with the creators of every single big mods and unofficial patch creators to:

 

  • Reward them for the effort and amount of time spent further developing the game. If the quality of the content is popular, efficient or well developed enough, offer a direct contact from the creator to the developers.
  • Oficialize the mod/patch as either an oficial part of the game or hire/help the creators for free to fully develop that mod with a contract that instates that if ever the case comes in which the creator wants to quit, Bethesda acquires any rights to that mod and he will be rewarded for his work and his name will always be credited.

That would ensure a constant growth of the oficial game quality and stability while also ensuring a constant deepening of the content, expansion of the world, quality of the mods, new features and so on, not forgetting that there always would be a constant connection to new programmers and game developers that are familiar with the game and their work.

 

 

 

 

So that what I mentioned above can one day happen we, the community, would have to take the first step so that something like that could be possible, but it has to be a big step... How about we solve ALL those things I listed in red at the beginning in one fell swoop?

The idea here is simple, actually. One single big project.

We use the "Community Hive Mind" to create a single mod that:

  • Stabilizes the game to the best of the community's ability working together, combining every patch and game correction into a single installation file that also allows for customization and finetunning of the game files from inside the game.

 

  • Combines every big community DLCs, weather mods, light mods, sounds mods, game fixing, immersion mods, everything into one final version that is highly customizable from the game menu.

 

  • Turns the game into Online Multiplayer and allows for new mods to be installed and used through a cloud service from inside the game and the player can download the mod files permanently to his computer without having to quit, while also being responsible for the load order of every file already in the computer and multiple game profiles with different mods installed.

 

  • Debug, Finish and implement every mod already created, even the dirty ones that I know some of you perverts would want to, into the cloud service in due time.

 

  • Has a public forum, chat rooms, messenger, mailing and browser in the main menu and game menu.


A single system that encompasses everything that involves modding, focused mainly on stability and customizablity.

If you like the idea, please share, comment, or anything you are able to do to help, it is appreciated and highly needed for something like this to work.
