Fallout 4 possibilities for modding explored

[Gilibran]

I know the GECK is going to be instrumental for complex mods. But i was wondering how far modders have delved into FO4 to explore the possibilities.

 

The script extender is already released, CBBE is making great progress with the tools, we already have a moving bridge, i see some great things being done with FO4edit. Are the possibilities more extensive them Skyrim?

 

I assume someone has already opened up more then just textures, nifs, etc, etc, ie the stuff we see being modded at this moment, and explored even without the GECK, though for the moment it is impossible to do anything with it?

 

Someone has to have an idead if we will be able to, for instance fly vertibirds, if there is some horseriding code leftover from Skyrim that could perhaps be modified or used for ground vehicles. How mod friendly is it and how extensive are the possibilities. There has to be some information somewhere that is more then hope and speculation?

 

I know it's early but most searches come up with pre release Skyrim vs FO4 engine speculations or blank wiki pages. Anyone that can point me to a forum topic here or somewhere else with more then speculation but some good tech info.

 

I'm really tempted to pick up modding this time and want to know how viable my ideas are and where to aim for.

 

Thanks

With enough time you really can do anything to these games. I'd expect the same versatility from previous games mods, as it's pretty much the same engine. There was a mod for Fo3 that let you ride a motorcycle, so I'm sure it's possible. Perhaps someone will make it.

What I want to know is how has the CK changed since Skyrim? How are all the new graphical features of Fo4 handled?

'Are the possibilities more extensive them Skyrim?'

I think thats a firm 'yes' ,simply because there are multiple new mechanics present.

 

 

I remember vaaaagly that I had a flyable vertibird in F3, I know I had a flying dragon mount in Oblivion with animations, and I know that some genius modder fixed the dragon riding to being able to completely control your dragon as a mount. Not only that, someone made it a playable race by having the player morph into a dragon capable of attacking and flying !

 

Honestly I'v been hanging around here since late Morrowind ,start Oblivion, the things I'v seen create in this engine that to many call 'old and crap' has been downright amazing. I don't code or script tho, so ya'll wizards to me !
