Gamers in Asia consume mods from a wide range of sources; blogs, western sites, Russian and 'westerners-not-welcome' Asian websites, etc.  They don't limit themselves to sites like Nexus.  Several years ago a Japanese modder named MunkeyFinger told me that his circle of friends HATED Nexus and refused to use it or allow their mods to be uploaded there, and that was before Dork0ne blew his cover about being a greedy prick and went buck-wild knob-licker woke.

A Russian modder pointed me to some of the Russian sites. They got some shit! lol Of course I download it in LInux and scan the living fuck out of it. (however, I do the same for Nexus. ) Funny story. Only mod site I ever had any flags or issues with regarding any virus notifications or warrings etc. Guess which one? If you guessed Nexus, you'd be right.  You'd think when I point exactly where the source is they would do something about it. Well. you would guess wrong. I pointed and gave them the exact ad that was causing this issue and they stated they don't have anything to do with the ads. I kid you not. So they don't have a choice in having ads? They can't change the ads? They can't t ell the ad company to not use that or report they have a hacked ad? For Nexus, this is the case. Their hands were tied.

I still want to play the game, but I refuse to give Bethesda my money, and then I see stuff like this that makes me not want to play it. Was it necessary to re-record this line?

If you have Xbox you can get it through game pass (included) Not moddable but playable. However it does mean you would have to pay for at least one month's worth. Fortunately you can cancel anytime

That's a hard pass. The biggest redeeming factor for this game is the mods and the ability to remove the unnecessary changes. Besides, mods are the only reason I want to play it. I'm just salivating at the prospect of installing Lovers with PK and wreaking havoc in Imperial City with tentacle monsters.

As I understand it the script extender isn't up to the task yet to even port Lovers over. Much less if someone would.

The more I see what is happening. The more I think why?  You can add your own graphic upgrade. There are only a few game play changes. Pretty much the same as the old game. Pay >50 dollars for a reskin of a game? Just stick to the OG version and wait until this version is <10 dollars on sale. If that. By that time any mods that would be created would likely have been created.

Better than Starfield though. I watched an old Starfield video again yesterday and couldn't believe how bad they were in comparison. Well, not this one.

Best video I've seen on this game, but he needs to be careful, Bethesda fans do not like dissenting opinions on their precious games.

Every video that critiques this game gives me a sobering realization of how poorly made this game is. This is not a remaster, this is a downgrade. I don't even want to play it anymore.

I think the nostalgia bait is morphing into people remembering how bad the original was.

I never was going to buy it since I have Oblivion 2006 running smoothly with a fuck-ton of mods installed.  I don't need current year BS to be bored with a 19 year old game.

I want something NEW to play that isn't woke/unoptimized Unreal eyecandy/gamepass slop/a time-sink grind.  I pulled out the old Xbox and I'm playing Gears of War 2, that's how dull gaming is.  I seriously need a better hobby.

Oh hell yea it is better than Starfield. This was when Bethesda had skilled people that both wanted to create good games and was allowed to make good games. Not the whatever it is now.

I"ve been over Bethesda games since Fallout 4. The game was still good enough to be satisfied with it (after they decided to roll out modding support) but nothing really after that. IN fact very few games after that were decent for me to even consider paying full price for it. Funny most channeled the games of 20 or more years ago.
