Tahima Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 We need in particular to be able to get rid of the MASSIVE Star Wars verse mods invasion :laugh: , but any non-lore-friendly mod should be easy to identify and filter out. How could we agree on this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanity Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Lore-friendly? The 'lore' in Starfield is laughable and trash. It is nothing to base anything worthwhile on at all. Obviously mods based on other IPs are not a natural organic match for Starfield. For those with a serious interest in a fully redone (via mods) iteration of Starfield, the issue of story elements will be a significant problem- but I'd bet all good modders have a vastly better sensibility of how Starfield should progress the general flavour of Skyrim and Fallout than any person working at Bethesda today. Anyway the Nexus has a dilemma. A FORMAL recognition that it allows the UNAUTHORISED use of other corporations' IP takes it into a legal quagmire. The current Nexus position, certainly not supported by actual legal principles, is that it takes down content on request. Let's just say this is a grey, but not really grey area than benefits the site and those that use it. A 'filter' that say operated on a modder provided keyword stating 'lore friendly' would be legally fine, but then who is the modder to make such a claim. And which sane player wants good mods to be limited to the deity-awful 'writing' of vanilla Starfield? Personally, within 3 years I want a fully redone Starfield (via mods) that changes just about everything, and delivers the game it should have been in the first place. Now Nexus could introduce an "other worlds" tag that mod authors who admit to using 'alien' IP could apply to their mods. Filtering on such a generic keyword (with no admittance of inappropriate use of another's IP) would be legally safe. PS the entire issue is currently below the radar, because the official tools ain't out yet, and what mods can achieve is therefore limited. When it is possible to make entire worlds flavoured accurately in the IP of a corporate monster like, say, Disney, wholesale mod bans will hit this site- bet on it.

showler Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I think what you meant to do was request that the "lore friendly" and "not lore friendly" tags be activated for Starfield so that you can block the "not lore friendly" tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraquar Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I'm pretty sure people are still trying to catalog the "lore" of Starfield as it's a new IP and few if any have seen everything there is to see in the game yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
