MODERATORS
Haven't the modders, who in general always fix all of bethesda's bullshit, mostly gotten bored of this game? I know it was big news when the guy behind the big Skyrim multiplayer mod started working on this star field one and then declared the game stupid and quit.
The mod tools haven’t been released yet.
While I think it makes some business sense to release the modding tools between 6 months to a year after (when their devs aren't working on the game anymore so they can actually develop the tools and strip it of any proprietary software) I do wonder sometimes how things would change if they just delayed the game until the modding tools were ready.
They're actually stupid in this case.
There was a big post by Nexus Mods about how effed up the Creation Engine is now, and how its unsurprising Bethsoft has been unable to release modding tools for the game because it's so broken.
I'm going to play the game only a small amount until the modding tools come out
Because the mods are the only thing that is going to breathe in life into this game
One of the people who made Skyrim Together came outright saying that they gave up on making the same mod for Starfield because the game is just shit
I think some modders like the challenge or enjoy making a shitty game more fun for the community to actually play
I mean, if a modder has so much ability and creativity that they can essentially rewrite the whole game (because nothing short of that will save this absolute snoozefest of a story) they might as well create their own game and make bank in the process.
Modding a game doesn’t make much sense if the foundation sucks. So much wasted effort, making mods for already good games is much more rewarding in my experience (released about two dozen for different games)
Xfire? You mean the old gaming chat program? 😅
