Trajan1965 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Did a search for this topic but I didn't find any thing I considered relevant to the question Fallout 3 came out in 2008, and while there are thousands of mods for it (and NV already as well) I haven't been able to find any conversion mods at all. In this case "conversion" denotes a complete change of gameplay and/or backstory, theme or setting using the games existing assets. I'm curious as to why there have been no efforts in this direction? Speaking as someone who has managed several modding teams that have released mods for other games, I am aware of all the usual suspects that prevent mods from coming to fruition. Time constraints, attitude issues, lack of motivation, no cohesive vision, poor implementation, feature creep, etc. Still...you would think that in 2 years you would hear of something being planned. Are there some onerous restrictions in place by Bethesda that prevent such a thing or is it just general lack of interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieangel68 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 It's probably because the game is very mod friendly that it doesn't force you to overwrite the entire game whe you make a modification, as such i guess nobody really bothered to tear down the "tower" when they can simply add a brick to it.

Fonger Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) New Vegas has been out how long? don't expect a total conversion for it within the next 5 years If you seek information about Fallout 3 consider posting in the Fallout 3 forums and several total conversion mods for FO3 have been started and abandoned guess why Hinty -> nothing to do with Bethesda Edited November 25, 2010 by Fonger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trajan1965 Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 New Vegas has been out how long? don't expect a total conversion for it within the next 5 years If you seek information about Fallout 3 consider posting in the Fallout 3 forums and several total conversion mods for FO3 have been started and abandoned guess why Hinty -> nothing to do with Bethesda I'm inquiring about Fallout 3 based games in general, which includes New Vegas. Not specifically FO3 per se. And to clarify I asked about conversion not total conversion, they are 2 very different animals as far as workload. And if I have to guess why the total conversion mods went nowhere I'm going to assume it's due to the reasons I listed in my initial post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
