vortex Can we get Vortex to support Dragons Dogma 2 please?!!!!!

Updating each mod is tedious, need Vortex to handle updates for me.

It's not something we currently have planned. Have you tried Fluffy Mod Manager?

Wait....you guys don't plan on supporting it? It's a pretty popular release and it's moddable... 
It also doesn't look too difficult to implement support for it either. 

Just kinda confused on this.  I've seen Vortex have support for games with small player bases
and barely any mod creator interest, but no support for DD2. 

Fluffy's manager is having issues lately. Like the app has been modified and it's not secure anymore.
it's being flagged all of a sudden, and its hash has changed(same app version, one download on the 23rd, one
today) . It now requires us to manually unblock the file because MS doesn't trust it all of a sudden. 
Anyways, I'm not going to use an app that I can't trust or that has been modified.
We all trust Vortex and NM. 
 

Could you bring this up in your next meeting? I know all DD2 players would really appreciate it. 
Hell, I'm sure there are some people willing to help out with the implementation if available 
staff is an issue.  
Thanks man

Game support is added by community members more often than by Nexus Mods staff.  The wiki has an article on how to make an extension.

The main hurdle here is the DD2 is using the RE Engine, which is really, really difficult and error-prone to support with a mod manager. You can look at Vortex's support for RE2, RE3 and RE Village - these work but have been completely broken multiple times. Capcom seems to actively resist modding and we don't have the resources to keep providing a quality experience for RE Engine games in Vortex as the effort to get around their encryption (or other) changes each update is very time-consuming. 

That said, FluffyQuack does a great job supporting these games in their mod manager. The only downside is that his tool has no direct integration with Nexus Mods (but we'd be open to helping them set that up!). The community is pretty much embedded into that tool now too.
