^ It's not about play, games, fun, creativity anymore.
It's about power, money, prestige, numbers, interests, ego, awards and stocks.
100% true unfortunately, Starfield just reeks of this, and so many other modern games.
They want to be just like Disney, and they don't care the least that Disney is a failing company who's doing worse than ever.
It's like when Bud Light failed miserably and lost billions, we all saw it, still this didn't turn other companies away from doing the exact same thing. They must have been 100% sure they would lose millions or billions, they still wanted it. it's mindboggling. When Elon says "woke mind virus" it's not a cringy joke, it's an actual thing.
Just listen to Bob Iger to see the insanity / virus in action. In one interview he will say "we must stop with The Message, stop attacking fans and we must start doing good content." Then just after that in some interview a week after he will switch to how important it is with The Message and nothing else matters
Greedy retards, fucking up their most successful game to date because the modern studio can't produce games nowhere near as good, and that would sell as near as good

Didn't this happen weeks ago? I got hit by it when trying to download their mods (you need to for anniversary edition, or it breaks mods that rely on them (even if they don't use them))
When they implemented it, the whole system was offline for the 4 days I tried to get it going again. I stopped trying after that
Alternatives are mentioned, like that backport plugin and also the GoG version (which I'll eventually get). Still, just sad to see.
Another developer that wasn't as technically retarded as bethesda might implement some system in which mods would never or very rarely get broken due to updates and therefore have the best of both worlds, but not these retards or the poor indian developers they lease on fiverr
And Starfield seems to be even worse if the mod dependency talks are true

Beth is dead, I don't think they will ever turn it around. They've spent over a decade now publishing garbage and continue to perpetually try cash grab mods. Even these completely useless and unnecessary updates serve to only break mods, and piss off the playerbase
In contrast, look at how Valve leverage their mod community (don't forget HL1, Portal, L4D, CS, Black Mesa etc. were all made as mods or by map makers they hired or bought out near project completion.

If only there were an external solution they could implement... something that maybe ~45 million people are doing on some other site via an external app... a process most modders are already familiar with...
A modlist from 6 months ago, looks better than most 2024 releases.
8-14mins is crazy what modders have achieved.
The only problem is that at the end of the day you are stuck with Skyrims boring quests and stories, which is why I put so much weight on Bethesda to improve the stories, questlines and maybe just base functionality allowing modders to flesh these out themselves.
Modders will make all the visual and gameplay stuff better than Bethesda can, except for the shitty quests and NPC dialogs etc.
I don't find the world size that bad, just the quests are boring and I've done them before. I'd play one of the full conversion mods but then you can't use all these mods in them :/
I honestly think if Beth just spent the time on the story and writing then added support for Mocap and proper in-engine cutscenes - the next game would be a smash hit again. Make the same game as Skyrim + make the Beth main campaign and primary questlines fully mocapped and cinematic would dupe players and journo's into Beth invented videogames again.
I'm playing W3 at the moment, and to me it's striking how much better Inexile are in the writing department. Like the communist hating Gippers with the gigantic mechanical Ronald Raegan torso, or the cult of radiation worshipping monks in W2.. just way cooler use of the setting than anything Beth has done with the Fallout IP (I can only remember the town built around an unexploded nuke as something interesting).
Men, what would be the proper version for PC to buy right now? I'm lost with anniversaries, deluxes and the like
Buy GOG special edition without all the retarded anniversary edition items, quests, npc's etc shat all over the game
or
anniversary edition from anywhere but get a mod that unshats all the retarded anniversary edition items, quests, npc's etc from the game and implements them in a smoother way.
Can't remember which mod does that though, and the Special Edition is more than enough for me.

Need to check that video later, but I don't think so. It was some fomod installer mod that let you pick and choose which ae content you'd want to see in the game, with (I think) options to the introduce the new items smoothly into leveled loot lists and shieeet.

I'm still lost, but will do my homework. Thanks Toni!
Seems to be a "simple" on/off toggle though
I could swear that there was some other mod to integrate the AE khantent more smoothly, as in not getting you to stumble on OP weapons/armor very very early in-game.
BTW, if you have the patience I recommend that gamerpoets guy's video channel, great stuff for everyone wanting to optimize their modding.

i was wondering, as the combat is dogshit and will never be fixed even with mods, is there a mod that takes it completely out of the game and replaces it with something else, like detective story or anything so i dont have to do this retarded combat ??
started modding it again, updated my flora overhaul. can't believe so many people still downloads it, it's nowhere near the latest mods that exists imo.
i really hate using mods for this game though, i thought i'd give it a shot, download some cool ENB. You can't even download an ENB without going down the rabbit hole of
ENB: you also need mod X,Y,Z
Mod X: you need A,B,C
Mod Y: You need A,F,G
Mod Z, you need D,E
into eternity.
Morrowind is usually not like this, not for 9/10 mods at least, like it seems to be with Skyrim nowadays. Totally unmanageable.
