They are shipping a mod content creator in the game? Wow. However, it has to be activated and setup by the game manufacture (or so I believe the article states. I wonder if it can be added by someone after the release. (Forced)  Also, If I am reading this correctly, they may be setting it up for their desires. Say skins or such, not full low level like was done for some of the bugthesda games. (Where mod authors added scripts to extend the play options) Much of the most popular mods rely on such extensions.

That all depends on the team/studio and their intent with their game using UE5. Seems like all studios that do use UE5 for their games can release an editor to the public and it all depends how depth the editor is that they release. If it's anything like REDkit, then it's meh...

If there is an ability for those that know the engine or willing to dive in and learn it, to add such components to the game when they release. (even add mod-ability) then It would be a good time for bugthesda to release their games in this engine.  Hell, I'd even like to see them release their games (yes Skyrim again as they could use that to say they were learning the engine) again. Fallout 3, NV even Fallout 4 and 76 (I believe Unreal engine has mutiplayer ) as well as all the TES games as well.

I don't see them migrating from their Creation Engine to Unreal Engine. They are always going to stick to what works for them and just add in new coding and slap a new name on the engine as they go on. They are certainly able to, but I don't think they want to invest the time to do that unless they do it with one of their branches at a time.

How's the modding for unreal engine?

Looks like an editor is within it. How depth it is for coding and such, I wouldn't know. Yet at least.

And speaking of... I just found this video...

The last game... Starfield obviously isn't on UE5. I guess he threw it in there as a bonus. But none of them are like Fallout other than the first clip that looks closer to New Vegas.

can you imagine if Fallout NV was redone with this engine?

Would look good, but even if it was, I don't think it would change my opinion of the game's world. But it would definitely look good.

I would love to see another studio create a wasteland game.

The intent of this topic is to open up a discussion about UE5.

haha! Rangers not playing around. It gets good at 9:35.

 There is racisim in the game as well. Sometimes quite strong.  Sometimes you have benifits depending. For a Drow, you can enter the goblin camp much easier than you can say for a high elf.

Good. There's nothing wrong with implementing racism or xenophobia in a video game.

The cut scenes are pretty good. Keep in mind this is a third person top or side down game. The graphics are decent but not to the level of those cut scenes people see. Nothing horrible sometimes the camera gets some issues but excellent or at least on par with other games like this.

Isometric doesn't bother me since I've played plenty of games with it. And seeing that it's also turned-based combat is a plus for me.

Let's be offended together.

Fanboyism rant...

Not only complete and functions quite well upon release, extremely customizable  AND has mods?

Consider myself blown away.

 

I am considering getting it. It will break my "no new game" rule. Where I don't get the game when first released usually waiting for a sale etc. However, the more I read, the more this company/publisher deserves my $$$.  Several people at my place of work has gotten it and stated it was quite good. These people usually are on track (most of the time) with game I also like.

I'm never tempted and never have been to pre-order or buy early on a new game. Been like this since a kid. But back in the days when I was a kid, I wouldn't really consider myself a gamer. I had NES and SNES at that time and had a lot of games for them, but I was a very active kid always outside with friends being a bunch of rascals and flirting with the girls. So I would always see pre-ordering as a sign of desperation. Video games were secondary to me at that time. Still is sorta...I got into Fallout 3 in late 2009 or early 2010. Didn't know about the game to be honest. It was more to do that I had modded Final Fantasy 11 Online back in the days so the 8 years of being on that game, I was bored at that time and was looking for some other game to mod. Especially with nudity. I searched online and the first thing that came up was Oblivion and Fallout 3. I was more intrigued by Fallout 3 because even at that time I was burnt from medieval/fantasy games. I wanted something different. Turns out that a post-nuclear apocalypse was something right up my alley and I didn't even know it yet. It wasn't until I pirated the game, tried it, was blown away the moment I left Vault 101 stepping out into a dystopian world. Liked the so much  that one day when I was in Walmart, I saw the GOTY Edition on a shelf for PC games and I picked it up for retail price of 60USD. Did not regret that purchase. Now that was the first thing that I was looking for with BG3. Does it have nude mods? Yes! One of the major selling points for me. Will it live up to the expecations of Skyrim modding? I don't know. I haven't done my research on that yet. But I mostly do not expect it to. And that's fine.

The only co-workers (in the past) that I've ever ran into that were gamers were WOW gamers. They tried hard enough to convince me to play WOW, but it never caught my attention. I was already playing FFXI Online so I wasn't going to play another MMO. Heck, I remember my final years on FFXI people talking about TES Online. And while my friends back then on FFXI were hopping on the FF14 train, I wasn't. They too desperately wanted me to migrate. But FF14 has such a terrible launch and I was sick of Square Enix and the way they shafted us vertans on FFXI all to accommodate new players ruining the endgame experience we had. Hence my user name. I ran my own guild and ran my own endgame events. Anyways, I told them that I would hop on TESO, but that never happened either. lol I stuck with FO3 and FNV until I got bored of both and been on Skyrim since 2014. I haven't bought any new games so BG3 would be my first modern game I purchase. But I'm not in any rush to buy it. I'll do my research on it first.

I'm thinking about getting this game.

Just checked out BG3 on Nexus and they seem to have a decent amount of mods in a short time.

From the king to Drag Queen of Beers.

The same thing happens here with the target push and others like that. Nobody wants something shoved down their throat.  Most don't care about what someone does but like the reporter states, the more it is pushed down someone's throat, the more push back you will get.

And rightfully so. This is why I don't agree with the LGBTQ community. Especially the trans. You can't force your way onto others because it's only making it worse. At times it's almost pushed me from being tolerant live your life as you see fit as long as you don't harm others to I'm fucking getting sick of this shit.

typical.. .

Also a great excuse to try to sell us DLCs. later... with the content that they had removed

Why won't the developers wait until it is done and then ship. Or, at least not promise what they dream will happen then show how limited it is.

Let's not forget the gimmick BS sold as "DLC" for Fallout 4 in a bundle. Some of which were just paid mods. Low tier and effort content. Even Obsidian did the same with Courier's Stash. It was nothing more than paid mods. Anyone can make a starter pack as a mod. Place a container in Doc Mitch's house and add some unique guns, ammo and set of unique armor.

lol Too cute.

No. I won't. I could type a wall of text on all the reasons why from Bethesda to the mod community and scene. But I'm exhausted. I still think you can definitely get more than your money's worth out of these games, so long as you have the freedom to mod it like Skyrim and previous titles. For me,, it's beyond just Bethesda bugs. And I was ready to just let that go and accept their bug infesting games. But it's beyond the bugs at this point.

I'll probably buy it a few weeks after release. I probably will not like it though...

Uh oh...

Former Starfield dev says there might be too much content for the game to ship on time | GamesRadar+

If this guy is telling the truth, it looks like players won't be able to explore the 1000 planets that Todd promised.

Honestly, as exaggerating as the whole 1000 planets sounded coming out of Todd's mouth, it was the only thing that really sparked my interest of this game. I occasionally look for new worlds/lands in Skyrim, but 99.9% of the times I'm left with disappointment as they are too ambitious for the modder that it becomes abandoned, or they don't add navmesh in most areas. I would have gladly taken advantage of a few planets to create a world for exploration. I had some ideas in mind what I wanted to do on some of these planets, but that's also not going to happen as I also had projects lining up for Fallout 4 after the official trailer was released.
