David Brasher Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) You've clearly never modded. Is it really still called modding when using a CK? Cute. There are some semantic difficulties with the words "modding" and "modder." Many people consider the word "modder" to mean "mod-builder." An amateur programmer sort of person who uses software like the CS, Blender, NifSkope, GIMP and a bunch of other programs to add new content to the game or else make changes to the game. This new or changed content is then packaged so that any gamer can install it without any skill at building new content or using these software programs. Some people use the word "modder" to describe anyone who installs and plays mods that they download. I would describe these people as "gamers" rather than "modders," but what do I know?

FordPerfect Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 A [game] modification: Anything that makes changes and/or adds content of any kind to a game. A modder: A person who makes [game] modifications. What's not clear about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed Modders make mods. Mod users use mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreekIrish Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 What's worse is the people who think that once the creation kit comes out, they can do whatever they want with ease, as if it's as easy as using google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's anything like the Construction Set for Morrowind and Oblivion it will be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanLoL Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 More possibilities with mods, major bug fixes that need to be addressed and the CK will make modding easier to get into. Patches are for bug fixes. This clearly must be your first Elder Scrolls game or you're just trolling hard. Official patches from Bethesda barely clean up the amount of bugs that plague their games. The unofficial community patches provide more bug fixes than all of the official patches combined. I honestly don't see Bethesda even getting close to fixing half of the massive bug list that Skyrim has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeami2020 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 You've clearly never modded. Is it really still called modding when using a CK? Cute. You've also clearly never modded before either. When you make modifications to the game (ie create a new weapon, modify certain gear stats, modify npc), it is modding. Doesn't matter if you used the CK or not. You're still making modifications to change things not available in the vanilla game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCbrad Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I dont mod, I cant mod. However, I have used them from Oblivion and for Skyrim. What is come out so far for Skyrim is an incredible improvement. Like the one that makes clothing better... great improvement. I can't wait until the modder get their hands on the CK. This will be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntsman2310 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Oh yeah it will be. First thing I'm doing is releasing my Wyrm into Skyrim, then making a Dwemer quest line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
