It’s really disappointing the game hasn’t released with mod support. People are making do by editing a few scripts, but full mod support would’ve helped this game so much out of the gate.
Yeah, modders could’ve filled it out into a full release by now.
it’s definitely a full release. i’m like 20 hours in and just scratching the surface with no real bugs to speak of. it’s just not mind-blowingly amazing and there are too many loading screens. it’s fun enough to entertain me until phantom liberty drops.
Agreed. Holy fuck are there so many unique quests with full voicing (at about 20 hours in). I’ve heard people say they aren’t getting that “losing yourself accidentally seeing five different POIs”, but it’s definitely still there in a different package.
I get that by going to do one quest, having to stop off at other planets along the way, where I’ll poke my head in and talk to whatever named NPCs I see, who’ll inevitably give me a few quests, some of which lead to other places where I’ll pick up other quests.
It was especially apparent with some random side quest somebody gave me in New Atlantis where I just had to go get a dead drop package from some other planet, which turned out to be the site of the Red Mile which is its own sort of arena/quest that I then enjoyed in the middle of the other quest. I’ve just been ping ponging around like that picking up stuff and stopping now and again to knock a few out.
It’s a certified Bethesda banger.
Man people are really entitled these days…
The game is fine, and what most people who play Bethesda RPGs expected (or even better).
Also, if I’m not mistaken, previous Beth RPGs released without official mod support and had it added later as well. Almost no game by any company has released with official mod support; almost no game even has official mod support.
Should’ve been there from the start.
I don’t even understand the delays. They have claimed that the tools they release are the same tools they use to build out their games. Shouldn’t they already have working tools? And what really changes between the games that I can’t just use Fallout 4’s or Skyrim’s creation kit? I’ve always found this to be odd.
When Bethesda launches mod support, they will do it as a Creation Platform. They don’t want mods to merely exist, they want to control its presentation.
The important shit is getting done already. The community isn’t going to wait for a toolkit.
And the things that toolkit likely allow aren’t really what modders want to change, anyway. I don’t think anyone wants to add quests, but fixing broken things seems to be the goal of the current mods.
