This is good. At least IMO. This shows that they (EA) are going after the management and direction of the studio. We can pretty much agree that the management seriously failed the MEA. I suspect that now there will be new directions and priorities given. New management and supervisors. This also gives me the thought that they (CEO's etc) have really gotten their asses handed to them and they are really pissed at the results of MEA receptions. With this... perhaps there might be an overall improvement in quality control in their games before games are released. Might be a small chance but I suspect it will be better. Note... this doesn't mean that they will be any "better" in quality of story, or they will not fill the games with SJW crap etc. I suspect the basic quality control (animations, lighting, etc etc) This will be interesting going forward. Did EA / Bioware learn their lesson? If so what did they learn and where will that take them.

You are very welcome. Hope it helps.

Yes, but you aren't human... For lesser humans it might take a couple of weekends to really learn and "get it" in regards to Blender. Even then you might find some new and interesting tricks and techniques to use as time goes on. Blender is a very POWERFUL program full of tools that most don't even realize are there, or use. https://www.blender.org/features/reels/ There is a video series in fact that I linked to.. from Ira Krakow for Blender. Detailed instructions as well not an all in one. That is the reason I added that link to his Youtube because you requested videos and stated you'd accept alternate tutorials to help you learn besides the studio one. The other links and references were for .. references and for any other member / person etc that reads this post for info that they might find useful. I try to post for all readers that might be interested in this content so sometimes I might not just give the info requested. What was given might or might mot be good content. I don't know... I haven't had a "weekend" to learn Blender yet. Perhaps when I do I will be able to give a better review of that material.. lol

http://tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/tutorials/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP_rRd8UBGpABeTE44XHuWg Tes reference above is where the tutorials are. There are game specific ones. NOt necessarily what you are looking for bu there are some info there. The second one I haven't used but it looked detailed enough to get me started so I bookmarked it for later. ... so far.... much, much later. however if it does help you then great. I had some more but they aren't active anymore and seem to have been moved or removed from the web. The second one however is more in-depth and actual how to create models and such instead of convert them however once you learn this you should be able to convert as well as create them. This is what I believe Kendo does when he reworks or created new content in Fallout Skyrim. Check out a few books for Blender (or 3dmax) as well https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro Here is a 140 page pdf to get started... .... just to get started... lol. I believe if you start this and can talk and do what is in the tutorial you will be reasonably competent to be able to take instructions from one of those videos or expert that you meet on line to fix any issues you come across in the future. The key is to get as close to solving your problems as possible to get someone with the level of skill that Kendo or Doublezero has to answer your questions. Most people that can do this type of thing is quite busy and isnt' really interested in helping someone that has substantial learning curve ahead of them to do a task. If you had some problems with a filter to make say... see through clothing then they can help if you give them exact position you are in... (details will show your level of skill ;)) The same goes if you have a glitch or malformed area of an armor you converted in Blender. Show possible people in a post what you have done and where you are at,the skeleton you are using, source, destination (desired results etc) and they might be more willing to help. Same goes for 3dmax, I am not adding this to this post but the same principle applies. I didn't add it as you either have to pay for it or have a school email/verification of being a student to get access to it. (legally) blender1.pdf I have given everything I can on this, so I hope that helps. I only have this info because I was interested in fooling around with exactly what you were wanting to do... however realized I don't have the time or patience at this time to do so. I still learn a bit here and there from time to time anyway r/t this stuff.

I see your cringe worthy post and raise you another from Britain https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/07/21/british-girl-5-fined-selling-lemonade-united-kingdom/498680001/ A child fined for selling lemonade without a permit.

Dam... I've been doing this all wrong.

The worse sting that they likely feel is the negative feedback from the game. It wasn't that the game was bad or wasn't liked, it was because they did a very horrible job at basic functions of the game. That was a total embarrassment and really reflected so badly on them and to some degree the entire industry. Because of this, I am confident that pre-sales and such that they rely on so heavily with current industry tracking and setup, will seriously be harmed going forward. At least while the aDHD fans remember the game.

We understand and yes it would be great if someone did this. If you do find one that is really good and helped you please post back here so others could get the benefit of this. unfortunately, those that did use this were disappointed at the results after much trying and those that don't do it the ol' school way which is way more complex to get the results that they desire. I span multiple game sites for multiple of years and know of no others or sources or peoples that are still active that could give pointers or even create a video that I could ask. Trust me I have tried. A few years ago I wanted to convert a few skinny model clothes to T3... really any version of T3 but ... nadda. You aren't alone in this. Hopefully new members coming here will be able to see this post and give some suggestions where others could get the assistance on this matter. Even if it is to post their tutorials

Sims 4 is another game that gained its popularity due to being modded. The base game isn't anywhere as desirable outside of mods for most people. Even those that love the game. (I know of only one person that loved Sims and that was Sims 3 not Sims 4) really liked the idea of being able to mod it. At the very worse, once it gets around that it can't be modded it will be just like the other console games that can't be modded. Now in an age where there are games being somewhat modded,this will be even worse. Maybe they are thinking they will attract people to the game then get them to pay $$$$ to convert over to a PC version? In any case there is more chances of failure even for those that regard Sims 4 fondly.

Both suggestions are good. Kendo's is much more advanced but would allow more flexibility if someone wanted to really learn. After that they wouldn't have issues converting or perhaps even creating or taking parts from a few different sources and creating what they wanted etc. To the OP endgameaddiction is pretty much your go to person on this on the site. Extensive work was done by endgameaddiction to do the very thing or at least close to the thing you are wanting to do. Lots of tutorials and such were suggested and looked over and the link posted is the one that was the most useful. However, as mentioned, eventually gave up as the quality was diminished and it was very difficult to get excellent quality. If you want some really basic conversions you might be satisfied however, if you want really good work done, from my understanding, you might need to really learn the tools and follow some of those heavier more in-depth tutorials to accomplish these goals.

Mass Effect Andromeda could have sold massive amount of games. Now when you think of that... and then see the massive backlash on the game, that is the reason as well not to talk too much about this. The reason for not mentioning MEA to the investors, likely the investors had emails and other info sent into their email box. They were fully informed likely, and that is the reason not to mention these. Also this is a public discussion and most investors that would be allowed to speak (major investors) wouldn't want to stir up the pot so to say either. Finally I gotten an email asking for a review to send in. A survey with an open ended 400 character reason for the ranking(s). Needless to say, it wasn't a pretty 400 characters given. Their main concern or first and pretty much only question given for the game (other than 5 questions for muti-player) was would you recommend this game to others. When you rate it, they ask why you rate it this way. I don't know why they would do this at this time, unless they were toying with an idea of a DLC or some work on MEA. It did according to the briefing mentioned above in the video along with FIFA make most of the profit last year. They might be thinking on trying to see if it can continue. It is a really $$$ franchise and really pretty much ($$$ wise) this is the only road bump in the franchise so they might think about it now that they ... (think) they have gotten to the root of the original issue and that it (shouldn't) wouldn't happen again.

I believe that is the case for all the Bethesda games. I don't think they understand how to properly optimize their assets.

Hello, I know you too.. lol What is this site that you are talking about... LL something, something? Yes, the engine/game is horrible with this however at least Fallout 4 is suppose to be 64bit.. at least it doesn't have the restrictions that FNV has for textures. Right?

Not a bad little machine you have there. Strong enough for Fallout NV, Oblivion, Skyrim and such. I agree, with its age it might be better to build from the ground up. I did that a few years ago (one upgrade before this one) and gotten the USB3.0 case so I am good there. I don't care about USB c or 3.1 yet so don't need to upgrade a case to handle those I can use a cable to the front from the I/O ports in the back if I find I need that... lol. Yours however based on what you have, likely don't have USB 3.0 or such available. And with cases becoming so good (for a cheap case) with excellent cooling and low noise (thanks to the larger fan diameters ) you would do very well with a new system from the ground up. IN fact, I'd say keep the old one around to play your older games (using the older OS) and only use the newer one for the newer games (with the newer OS) as we all know the shit that the new OSs give us. I bring this up because if you use either of the new processor (newest) then you HAVE TO USE WINDOWS 10. I am not kidding. There is no driver support and such for the older OS.s Rysin and 7th gen are like this and likely anything created in the future will restrict your use of windoze versions.

Apparently Fallout 4 has a High Resolution Texture pack that has been out for a but of time and I wasn't aware of it. So I am checking it out and downloading it... or more to the point... using up 4 weeks of bandwidth to download it. It is showing up as 55.1 gb from what I can see (unless there is a massive unknown update included in the game which shouldn't be the case since I have no restrictions to updates to this game due to my not using it) I am wondering if it is going to be the quality of Skyrim Texture pack. That is a little improvement for a massive FPS drop due to not being optimized and I'd need to download all sorts of added textures and such to overwrite this to get any level of performance/quality added to my game. If anyone has it installed and can give some reviews on this please feel free to comment.

Before I spend money upgrading my computer...I am like Kendo, I need to know I really need an upgrade before that time. Fortunately CD Project Red is taking their time on this game... lol. It is likely the only game that I will be interested in the future that will require an upgrade. I haven't been interested in other games that are new being released and instead have returned to the older more "aged" games and playing around with modding them and mostly messing with the actual mods.

Start saving.... the "RL" reason for buying a new PC ... will be CyberPunk 2077!!!! Chances are based on some of the info I will have to upgrade my rig as well if I wanted to get the best that they have to offer. My little 4th gen 4790K and 16gig ram with a gtx970 will be too weak for this game (likely) to run at acceptable levels and features. Wonder if they will be using Direct x12 on this. I think it is very likely.

Yes, I agree. They needed better core content. They could have setup an example and framework and then left it to the modders to come along and add their content. The main quest needed much more meat and meaning. However, in many areas it appeared to at first look like there might be something awesome to enjoy there or some interesting quest... then it was the same lame type of quest nothing special. I wonder if they had planed to add more to the game that would have made it much more interesting but due to time and money (some of the time spent building those mini games. ) took away from that? Speaking of mini games... Witcher III card game is awesome. at first I didn't like it and was confused but as I learned the game (both the main game and the card game) I started to really appreciate it. I started using strategy and planing and such to make my end results better just like the rest of the game. That is how Fallout 4 (and Skyrim mentioned above) should have been addressed. Hell even Mass Effect Androgynous should have been handled. If it had the stories and quest quality of previous Mass Effect games and just had the screwed up graphics and shit. Even with much of the SJW (tone it down a slight bit) I am confident it would have been much better rated. People would have been in shock etc about the visuals/animations but those could be fixed with a few patches. Last time I played (with a heavily modded game, far more modded than I need in any previous game to enjoy) I found it somewhat playable. It was still boring at times but there were a few things here and there that made me laugh and think of the past (Fallout 3 and Fallout NV) and think of what could have been and then become sad People argue between the Fallout 3 and Fallout NV (development and the different people responsible) and which is better. I can't see this happening for Fallout 4 as it isn't anything like the previous two games or for that matter any of the Fallout games except in parts of the lore. Much of the dark humor is gone. I really liked that. The stores and surprises are also few and far between not to mention of a seriously lower quality. The one thing I really liked is Redeye

There needed to be more meaningful quest and actual consequences. Also you needed to have an evil option for many of those events in the game to balance the play. The modders will likely be called on more in the future with the new "product" that they have called the "Creation Club". Shame is Bethesda will likely not take full advantage of the new "product" and actually improve their base games (accept scripting and engine updates ... instead of having to have script extenders they could use these scripts natively inside the engine. Likely will be more stable that way. ) We know they will take good advantage of the modder as slave labor and such. Also.. I kind of liked the mini games that you could play on the pipboy. I thought that was pretty cool idea. Likely that person that suggested that idea got fired.

Another group of settlers need your help...

I am sure some of you will enjoy this.
