I have been a long time member of the Nexus, and though I'm no modder, I have appreciated the creations here for a long time....so here's my two bits....damn, I don't want to sound like that guy with the crazy hair in those memes saying "ALIENS" I'm no programmer, so forgive me for my assumptions and presumptions, but here's what I think is happening (and this is just a thought so please correct me if I'm waaaaaaaay off course). Bethesda's been monitoring the modding scene for a long time now, and one thing I'm absolutely sure of is that there must have been a LOT of times when they must have pointed out to a particular mod and exclaimed "Whoa! that's brilliant! why didn't we think of that first!!?" So for the sake of simplicity, here's a hypothetical situation: They notice a wonderful mod (we'll call it mod X). Mod X is a brilliant piece of work, so elegantly designed that changing any code from it would deface it's beauty. Mod X is perfect, but it's not Bethesda's. Regardless, they go ahead and integrate it into their current ongoing project (Fallout 4?)....They say to themselves "We'll deal about whose it is later, maybe we'll pay him off in some way"....but then, as time passes by, they find another mod and another and another....and they're all beautiful and lovely and elegant. They want them all in their new game. They keep integrating and hardcoding the mods into their new project. Some of them are concerned about the backlash and hate when the project is released and people find out that they've been using ideas and creations made by people not on their payroll. Indeed, some of them genuinely want the modders to get some kind of reward...but the people at the top have a more...better..idea. Bethesda's been brainstorming this dilemma for a long time, and a couple of months before announcing their new project, they roll this new thing out where modders can at last get some renumeration for their efforts....BUT what they're actually waiting for is whether the creator of Mod X has joined their new system and uploaded Mod X to it....the other mods that they've been watching follow as well....Sigh of relief....Mod X and others are theirs now....they're free to use them as they please. End of hypothetical situation. So here are a few questions? By uploading their mods to this new service, have the modders actually sold their IDEA to Bethesda? Are they going to see the most brilliant parts of their mods appearing in some form or fashion in a future game? I believe so.

Hi all, I am writing a Fallout 3 fanfic. I'm one of the people who would love a Fallout 3 novel. I'd love to get some feedback on my ongoing story. Two chapters as of yet. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5266459/1/Fallout_3_The_New_York_Wasteland

Hi, I'm playing Fallout 3 with several mods, and scavengers are not talking anymore. There's just a black box that comes up if I try to talk to them. This is also affecting "Dashing" in Tenpenny Tower, and "Four Fingers" Freddy in the Paradise Home Plugin mod. Please help!
