  • It’s obviously horseshit that this is even a thing, but 2.9k endorsements on a game that just came out with basically no mods outside of reshade presets and .ini tweaks means only the most deranged fucking losers are even looking at this right now, and it wouldn’t surprise me if there are organized campaigns of incel reactionaries who organize to always endorse shit like this on nexusmods.

    Nexusmods has its issues, but they’re pretty decent about removing anti-lgbtq content historically and don’t really play around with the dumbest of bad-intent abstractions like “it’s actually just restoring the game to its original intention.” It wouldn’t surprise me to see this “mod” get nuked fairly soon and then a 2 day media circus led by the rat lord himself about censorship in media or some bullshit.

    In short, I love my trans comrades




  • Cyberpunk being a RedEngine (I actually like this engine) game limited the pool of potential modders somewhat because it’s a single-studio engine without a history of modding (there are a few large/complex Witcher 3 mods but as far as I’m aware it’s a few custom user-created quest chains that are supposedly really good- I’ll try to find the name later). CyberMP seems to be cracking this fairly wide open (it’s a GTAV RP-like modding framework that adds multiplayer) that’s pushing the current limits of RedEngine modding.

    I haven’t extensively looked into changes of GameBryo from Fallout 4 to Starfield but from what little I’ve read adapting tooling hasn’t been especially painful, it’s just that the base player interest from potential Starfield modders seemed really low due to disinterest with the game/its setting at launch.

    I think a fantasy setting with tooling and lessons learned that will hopefully continue to be built up from the Morrowind -> Oblivion -> Fallout 3 -> New Vegas -> Fallout 4 -> Starfield will have a better chance at catching that Skyrim modding spark again, but I will admit a lot of this is equal parts “here are some rational reasons why I think it will happen” and “shit it’d just be dope if it did and I really want it to.”



  • I’m more excited about the release of a game that has a large and established modding community and what they’ll do with that new platform than the game itself.

    I genuinely did not enjoy Skyrim at release- modded Skyrim is one of my favorite games ever.

    The talent in the broader Bethesda modding community is beyond impressive and they’ve had years to refine tooling/interop that I think will result in another modded game that will, hopefully, reach the same heights to me as previous works.
