The player can play lip animations just like any other actor, idk how alternate conversation is built but theoretically if it were able to run a say method with a no audio topic whenever any dialogue response is selected there's no reason you couldn't do this. Voiced dialogue is out of the question imo, it's not even just a case of workload it's that the dialogue system just doesn't have room for it unless you were to somehow break it all down and rebuild it. Even hacky methods would probably be a compatibility nightmare. Edit: there's a caveat here tho, at least when I was making player voicesets anyway, if the actor isn't visible when the say method is called the lip animations don't play, don't know if that's changed but I doubt it.

In response to post #39487475. #39489255 is also a reply to the same post. Calling it cancer implies it is somehow harmful, which would certainly be the case if there are no alternatives, but pc users are still able to use whatever method of sharing they want. It's a console solution and it works fine to that end. Hyperbolic statements like that are just fuel on this whole dumb fire.

I personally don't mind Bethesda.net, seems fine for a console interface. It's unfortunate that the backend is rough for authors but that'll get better I'm sure. After trying it out on PC the only real problem I have with it is having to leave the game running to actually download anything but I mean, that's clearly just because it works the exact same way as it's console counterpart and is therefore not going to be for most PC users, and that's fine. As an author, I've not really been a part of any of this since modding for Fallout holds zero appeal out of "There's till no smoking mod? Man I'll just make my own, oh someone made one now? Well I made my own anyway so whatever I guess." I'm pretty excited to start throwing stuff to the console community once Skyrim gets released though, especially since some of my colleagues and friends don't game on PC and always got excited when I showed them videos of crap I was working on. With any luck we'll get a CK update too and won't have an unstable hot mess of a tool to use, Fallout's is such a better experience than Skyrim's that the idea of going back to that same crash-fest bums me out. Anyway, happy modding or mod using or whatever, everyone stop being a jerk and email your local Bethesda representative or whatever, here's to maybe another 2000 hours of Creation Kit-ing later this year, hope to see you there! PEACE!

While you're right about the nexus, you're way off base about falskaar given that it was made as Alexander's "application" for employment from Bethesda, while I'm sure Alexander loves to make content and all and I wouldn't dream of making assumptions of what his stance would be here, his mod had the specific goal of gainful employment in mind.

Stop using YouTube as since example of a working system, a mod author is unlikely to upload 30 files a week to get any kind of decent revenue. Why do you think all the popular youtubers run several accounts at once? How many views do you think are generated from garbage shock titles and misleading thumbnails alone? It's not an appropriate comparison so please stop making it.

While not eloquent, he's right. The onus for any of the legal ramifications is on the seller not the consumer. This is exactly the same as people trying to justify their behaviour by arguing "it's the split that's not right!! We did this for you man!" If any of you bothered to go read Bethesda, valve, arthmoor or anyone else involveds articles or blog posts you'd be aware of the legal teams involved and the investments made in this system. The long and short of your stance is simply that you don't want this opportunity to exist to mod authors.

Stop trying to justify yourselves and your beliefs with this "we did it for you guys, that cut wasn't right" nonsense. If that were the issue then it would have been at the forefront of every post, comment and spoken word, but it wasn't. Whether that cut was fair or not was a decision to be made by the seller, nothing more and nothing less. Now that 25% is 0%, way to go, what a great renegotiation. The system needed tweaking and policy changes, not an angry mob tearing it to the ground. If somebody was giving away prints for free and you started seeing their other work in stores would you burn the place down and form a mob to crucify the author? Because that's exactly what happened here.

"Someone else will take his place so f*#@ that guy"? I wonder if you'd think the same if it were you on the receiving end of similar abuse. Edit: I can't tell if you were serious or not, were you serious? Now it looks like you're joking?

When you're done with that crystal ball I'd love to see next weeks lottery numbers, thanks. "Bullied out of their dream" may be a tad dramatic for this but it's more or less on point, this is not a scenario where having thicker skin saves you, there were instances of mod authors being harassed to the point of deleting accounts and a hate mob that completely stripped away the possibility of anyone else pursuing an option that had been made available to them. I sincerely doubt anyone was expecting to make a living off of this, but an extra bit of cash from extra work you do, yes, work, even though we're all I assume, here because we enjoy it, it is work we are doing is hardly an unacceptable concept is it?

I don't have a perfect solution, I doubt anyone does, of course there are still going to be people that do it, but change doesn't happen by sitting on your hands. And no, this isn't a problem that's only just visible because of the way we communicate, it's exasperated by the way we communicate, I guarantee you the vast VAST majority of abusive behaviour online would not take place in a real world scenario because A. You are no longer anonymous/a screen name and B. You're probably within distance of people who are not going to just watch. The ability to form a hate mob on the internet in recent years has gotten ridiculous and this is just one more example of it happening.

In response to post #24747119. Maybe because it's a company run by human beings? Money doesn't instantly make you not have feelings, whether it's the feelings of a large quantity of people or not. Bethesda's article looks like a company that was bullied into making a decision, because it was.

I've said this elsewhere but I'll say it again here, the system could have been changed based on feedback, refund policies can be altered, revenue distribution can be renegotiated, content policing can be provided and proven over time. Lastly, of course I can't guarantee a plugin will work in tandem with any other plugins you want to run, no more so than Bethesda can guarantee your game will run once you throw 150 mods into it. With a refund policy that could potentially have been changed to an acceptable system in your eyes though, would it not be a platform worth having?

My final line was to convey just how overwhelming the awful to normal ratio is on the internet, not to suggest that it's me vs the world. That being said the fact that the internet is like that right now doesn't mean it should continue to be and it doesn't give people a free pass to let it. If human beings just said "Well, that's the way it is!" every time something was wrong in society we'd never make progress, this is no different to any other societal problem and it needs a remedy.

Modders get the option to be compensated and then get run off the internet? Yeah, those guys were so corrupt. Give me a freaking break. And as for entitlement working both ways your example only illustrates the entitlement of the userbase more so, just because something has been free for the longest time, doesn't mean it has to forever, expecting that it must is pretty entitled I'd say.
