Royhr Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm not really sure that I totally agree with that. Sure some mod authors may have packed it in but many just hid their mods and some of them have started to make their mods available again. Hell even DD has opened up some of his mods again. I think that once Beth finally gets their act totally together, many mod authors who may have left will hopefully return again after getting over being p!$$ed off. Mod authors love to create mods and most like to share and show off their work. It's in their blood like an addiction. Just like with cigarettes and alcohol though, some people walk away from it and never return. The past 14 months have been pretty tumultuous in Bethesda modding. True however I don't know of any cases where modding was life threatening... <jk> Ok yes it was tumultuous for some and yes some will probably never come back to offer their mods. I doubt though that they are not still modding if only for themselves and maybe close selective friends. And of course there is still the specter of possible paid modding that could at some point attract some mod authors back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres the cases where ppl have threatened the lives of mod authors that make it life threatening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartarsauce2 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 of course greater technical quality is something of an "issue" as is the mod theft issue, so things will be a bit slower, also the timing as someone said - as in it's not been enough time since the games' release plus many people hold off until after the modbreaking DLC/patches are mostly over~as for threats, internet is srs bzns I guess, hmm, ppl should calm dowm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS13 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 There is another thread somewhere on here where this has been sort of discussed already. Some of it is probably related to the issue with thefts but it's probably more to do with mod authors working on newer mods but not wanting to release them until the DLCs are all released since it's a pain to have to keep updating their mods. Also as well as the fact that it just takes time to complete large mods. People will point to Skyrim and all of the mods but remember Skyrim didn't have all that many great mods after only being out less than a year. You just got to have patience. It's far more plausible that there will be no consoles in 2020 (though that's like saying you're likely to be struck by lightning twice than win the lottery). The PC gaming segment is growing year over year. If devs want to max their caps they'll develop for every platform--and behold!--there are almost no third party exclusives anymore. Moreover, at this point console manufacturers seem intent on turning consoles into PCs: they already do far more than play games, they're on PC architecture, XBox is already running a version of Windows 10. And now with the mid-gen tech upgrades... how long is it until Sony or MS say or next console will be... upgradable! You won't have to even buy a new console! At that point there will either be no real difference between consoles and PC (at least as far as devs are concerned) or they will have eliminated the advantage that consoles had over PC: simplicity.

RaffTheSweetling Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 There needs to be a function on the Nexus where you can click your fingers and quality mods roll out of your screen all over the floor. Anything less and it's just not good enough. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWolf Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 There are a bunch of nice mods on the front page so this kind of thing confuses me. I do kind of agree with other sentiments: are you really sure you remember how slowly mods came out for Skyrim? Or Fallout: New Vegas? Or Fallout 3? Or especially Oblivion? Also, it's annoying to maintain mods for a game that is constantly updating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
