The secret is out as to why Bethesda makes crappy games. Todd Howard sucks at playing games. He has to make AI stupid so that he can get some hits in. He likely has problems with complex games as well so the story has to be weak. As he gotten older, the story gotten weaker... notice the change? He just got more and more sucky playing game as he got older.

I was thinking they could use Unity since it has modding capabilities. https://www.kodeco.com/14494028-introduction-to-modding-unity-games-with-addressables Lots of tools and tutorials to do these mods. Bethesda would have to create the layer for the assets to be, well, accessible but that is only a tiny bit of work from what I understand from what I read. When considering the creation of the entire game that is. If they are able ... they could create every in game asset accessible. Allow new cells to be created and filled with these accessible items and be done. Of course I am not an expert in the system so there might be some limitations. However, Unity is a modern game system and is used in many popular games. Perhaps they don't want to change the engine due to the fact that then it would show that they are shit designers? LOL OH. the programing is C which is a very common programing language that most programmers would be very familiar with.

I was referring to the SJW stuff they feel compelled to put in the game. Flags, pronouns and such. They will NEVER be able to fix the issues that the engine has until they change it to something more modern thats not hobbled together with various shit from the early to mid 2000's. (tools that are more than 20 years old)

It is just another thing that will be added to the modder's list to fix.

Is it me or is this not metal enough? Listening to this made me think I was an orchetra playing.. anyway a bit of a slow burn

it would be nice if we had a remaster of something instead of Skyrim...

Japan doesn't fuck around when it comes to laws. If you wanted to propose to "Defund the police" the citizens would call you crazy!

Not from tax... but it is Grants... yea. Bullshit. If a company that is successful shutting down. Now a goverment opens the same thing. That won't be unprofitable? Of course it will. Well except for those who are in charge and pocket all that money from the grants. Now, what happens when they do open the stores. Watch them change and increase policing to protect these stores. Yep. A way to get out cooporations and make extra money. I fucking hope all these companies do a class action lawsuit for this bullshit. How about using your fucking brains. The policy didn't work. Change it back. Go hard on crime. Make it safe again for companies to come back. Give the grant money to help them return (one time pay ment instead of a constant drain that will be what the Mayor will have) Return back to what was and call it a day. Honestly, how stupid do they think people are? Apparently very stupid (which many are)

I am sure that someone was chewed out for having such a crazy person on the show. lol. I know they want energetic people but that is just plan fucking insane. (Price is Right) (1990's commercial) Come on, that shit was funny. Those of us that are older, that was comedy.

Yes. The reason is simple. They want to keep the mods regardless of what you want to do. People were leaving their shitty site due to pollitics and shit they pulled and they wanted to make sure that any major author couldn't delete the mod and fuck over their "community". Some time around that rule they were working on that system that allows someone to setup the mods and one click downloads of a entire mod system. Deleting mods would mess up those one click downloads. (Also I knew you were making fun of them. I wanted to poke at this a bit more so we could talk shit about some of the stuff they are doing.) Also it is fun to go to their site and do my shit with the same name as I have here, and nothing happen. LOL I am sure they see this stuff about their site from other sites. I am confident that people go and report this shit to get added points. However, to be brutally honest, I don't fuck with them on their site. I follow whatever rules that DarkOne and the others choose to make. The same goes with Lovers Lab and other sites. Its their site. I go there I respect their rules on their site.

YOU CAN'T DELETE THE MOD YOU UPLOADED. They have always been able to delete mods. I remember them talking about their being able to remove a mod that went against their TOS.

Yep, he never mentions that the modding community is the reason the success of these games. That would mean that he would also have to address the fact that many authors fix issues and such, like the simple removal of the green hue from Fallout 3. Not to mention bugs that continue well past the time that bugthesda decides to stop supporting the game.

Yes. This. BG3 didn't make a big deal of it. Just gave you options because they could as far as I can see, not because there was an agenda to do so. From my hours of playing it, they show they give you options because they could. They don't try to make you be something. They just give you a game where you can be what you want and do what you want (within the game mechanics of course) They have mods as well. Not as complex as Bugthesda but they give that option because they can. Nothing that I have seen shows me otherwise. Hogwarts gives you a game that is well written and their shit works and if something is a problem so far they have fixed it promptly. They give you a lot for your gaming dollars and don't play you for a stupid fuck. No real agenda and the Trans character everybody keeps pointing out isn't shoved into your face like most woke games. You can pretty much guess but nothing comes about from it. Another highly praised game that very likely would have flew under the radar except for the SJWs calling people transfobe. That shit got the game much attention and many SJW tears and IMO rightfully so. In recent months I've started looking for games that SJW and left bitch about regarding gender and shit and see if it is a well put together game. Generally the more they bitch about something regarding the game (Hogwarts in this contex) the more the game actually looks good. Fuck, I don't even like harry potter franchise but can't complain tha tit isn't a good game. Starfail is the typical bugthesda game. With the standard bugs. The videos where Todd proudly Skyrim is still going 12 years later doesn't say it is because of the fucking mods not because the game is great. It is the authors that make the games continue and anyone that plays Skyrim can atest. Remember how they bitched about the UI when the game was first released?

They can come here if they want to upload mods that remove pronouns. Hell, they can come here to upload mods that add pronouns. Sites that let politics infiltrate their site deserves to loose members. Unfortunately since Nexus is the larges most recognized mod site they think they can bully people and impose their politics. The announcer is correct regarding BG3. BG3 is very flexible to what you wish to do pretty much where you want to. Even for those that want go more SJW and have a tyranny or change your voice to a different one male or female. It did it, and did it without getting in your face about it.

The thing is it doesn't only look like they failed them. (not the first time this happened) it looks like those in power actively harmed them so that they could then take over an area and develop it to make more money.

Bethesda created a crap game. Doesn't run, bugs that they have had in the engine for more than a decade. With this, you wonder why people are blowing up on They/Them reference? Baulder's Gate 3 has the gender set in. Select the voice (I think there are 8 options, for feminine and 4 masculine) Depending on the race, there are several options, you can give your character a vagina or a penis. Or ignore it all together. The game gets better as you play it? This doesn't work. Your period of time for return is very brief. Mostly intended to make sure that you can run the game and not a lot of time to make a decision if this is a game you want. Have a shit opening, log cut scenes etc all counts. No wonder people demand their fucking money back. Empty planets? Lazy IMO. How hard would it be to have random encounters? It has been done by mod authors since Fallout 3. Why the fuck would you allow a chair of the spaceship have such problems with collision causing the player to get stuck so much in an area that they will have to use all the time throughout the entire game? How can they play test the game and not see that? How can they ignore that? Lazyness? Incompetence? Bethesda's woke philosophy, this also includes their "victim mentality". That they are unjustly being called out. It is part of the wok philosophy. Micosoft should sell / rent off Bethesda's IP's to someone else. They are doing nothing more than wasting money trying to create something that will only come out as shit.

That does it. I will get Starfield. If I wanted realism, I'd go outside.

Basically an EVERYTHING re-placer. LOL Oh, and by the way the greatest game of this decade is about to be released in a couple of days. (sarcasm LOL)

Yes, I thought so but I also remember a fan from Mass Effect when you go up some stairs. Can't remember if that was the same voice. It was Sticky? Yes, I thought I heard that voice before in Bugthesda games.

Isn't that from Mass Effect? Also does anyone feel that it sounds like a character from Oblivion? I can see it as a high elf with the uncomfortable close face. Also, just realized that you can get access to this if you have XBOX pass. So the only thing you'd waste is the network bandwith to download this game to give it a try. Even if it is just to cringe at the bad game. LOL>

I have seen some sites that are talking about them setting up a scripting system and access to the engine. So it would have to be set up to be able to mod. As for Bethesda, I don't see them doing it either, so long as the fan boi keep following and allowing them to put garbage out. Shame really, If I am correct they can really set up some serious mod tools and have a much more modern tool kit. Have something that they can new employees easier considering this is something most game developer would know about or at least something (like a previous version etc) The down side (or upside for Bugthesda) is mod authors likely won't be able to add scripts to the game etc. ... wait a sec. perhaps they could create a engine with the tools and have an import function from the game. Kind of like TTW does?

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. 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.
