I bet that they will probably add Shivering Islands was to the south where the ocean is located and where the Vile's Den is.

Well actually....

Setting the scene, it's explained that an ominous-looking gate has opened in Nibben Bay, the portal leading to a torn realm - the Shivering Isles - ruled by Sheogorath, the god of madness and dementia.

Sounds a lot like my mod idea. Portal to a realm ruled by Sheogorath... :mellow:

Maybe it is your mod idea. According to what I've seen Bethesda reserves the right to steal your ideas and profit from them. ;)

 

But then, to be honest, I've never actually been able to find where it says that. I believe Abramul (or someone) quoted a document/page some while back but didn't link to it.

Well if that was the case, I don't think they have the right to read the private messages send on these forums, because I didn't mention it much before... They spied on me! Unless Malchik is an undercover Bethesda employee... Nooo!

This sounds like Dragonfire Castle :rolleyes:

Wouldn't this mean that you aren't even permitted to distribute the mods you create?

 

 

Do they claim rights to custom, non-derivative resources (meshes, textures, sound)?

[Rhydderch Hael]

They specified 'non-commercial use' in the above. That means you cannot sell your mods. Distribution would be no problem as long as you do not profit from it financially.

 

Of course, in a more perfect world, your work would serve as a sort of resumé and if wholly impressed, they might have offered particularly creative modders an actual job position in the studio. In a perfect world. :glare:

I noticed that when oblivion came out, alot of morrowinds best mods were incorporated into it. Like Advanced Herbalism (Andoreth) has been used in oblivion. Weapon Sheathes, Horses, people with 24 hour scheduals. Anyway, I hope they release the Expansion on its only for purchase, because i can't download it and i don't want to buy all the other mods AGAIN like i did with KOTN.
