Why are there so little new weapons?

[Cepherit]

Now I've started to play Fallout 3, and checked out the Fallout3Nexus...

I'm just wondering:

 

Why are there so few new weapons?!

At TesNexus, most of the file uploaded are new weapons and armor!

Why are there almost only reskins at F3Nexus?

 

Can somebody come with some answers..? :)

Weapon Mods: 1200

 

Armor/Clothing: 700

 

Weapon Mods is largest catagory. Less than Oblivion? Sure. But it still holds the top spot for most number of files here.

I fail to see the problem. Fallout 3 is not hurting for more weapons. We do need some new good armor though, so we are hurting for that. In fact, I don't see why you would ask a question "Why aren't there more mods?"

 

Gee... I don't know. Maybe because people haven't made them? Go talk to those modders. Make them work, or something. No offense, it just seems like a silly question.

 

 

 

 

And adding items to FO3 is arguably more difficult and demanding than Oblivion. New variables and properties (especially for armor, like dismemberment) have to be taken into account. I personally believe that modeling a sword is easier than a gun, too. It just seems more straightforward for a sword.

Oh, sorry if I pissed you off, but since I've been playing Oblivion for 2 years, I'm used too the Nexus there, and of course the Oblivion Nexus is bigger! Oblivion has been out there for like 3 years now, and Fallout 3 - half a year?

I'd love making those weapons I've been sketching up, though I lack the 3D moddeling experience needed, and some other experience also. :(

Indeed, there is many re-colors, but I also think there's quite wide selection of new models if I compare with other games with firearms.

I guess our modders dropp down some newer toys sooner or later into the toy box. :happy:

I dont really think theres a lack a weaponary on here at all. Not by a longshot. Look at all the Desert Eagle pistol mods, all the Gatling Fatman mods. Yes ill say theres a lot of the same stuff, but thats only because people are catering to thier own interest.

If you so bothered by it, hit up the modification requests forums and throw some ideas out there. Throw some concept drawing or something. People arent mind readers so if you never speak up how can anyone know what your looking for in a weapon mod.

 

But as per lack of weaponry? Not by far dude. OpposingFarce hit the nail on the head, weapo mods: 1200 files.

Perhaps it's because of mods like FOOK. Why take the time to make some weapons when you can get FOOK which has a bunch of new weapons already along with several other additions to fallout.

Yea FOOK adds a shitload of weapons. I personally dont use it, not my taste, I dont use FOSE either. But Desert Eagel and M16 mods are in abundance lol. I know that Heroin Zero has released many excellent quality weapon mods that I do use, all of them of excellent quality.

Probably because Vanilla Fallout 3 has a decent enough armoury of its own, and most weapons that it lacks are already made.
