Hopefully people can stop with the "I bet Bethesda will take down skyblivion!1!!" comments now. It's very clear there's good will between modders and the devs.

The remaster is good. I hope Skyblivion is good. More games for consumers, the better. People here are commenting as if Bethesda has a responsibility to handhold the entire modding community. They are just doing their thing to make some money with employees that want to get paid and also make good games. Bethesda has had some downs but also some ups. This remaster is an up so I enjoy more Elder Scrolls.

I have been waiting so many years now for Skyblivion that I am not going to bother with the Remaster. And to be honest, something with the Remaster and UE5 feels off visually.

The Skyblivion Teams attention to detail and love for the project makes me believe that it will also be the superior version of Oblivion.

We can eat both

Anyone play Fallout London? I couldn't rollback the pointless update that cockblocked the mod. This time, they just make an attempt to squeeze out money before skyblivion offers the option.

Unless Bethesda actually fully embraces and supports the modding community, I'll never buy another one of their games.

I'm pretty out of the loop on that sort of thing, but the games come with inbuilt game editors to make your own mods really easily right?

The point is that they shipped an update that was mostly pointless, or even completely pointless on PC, that basically blocked the release of a huge scale very anticipated mod days before the release date.

The argument is that they like profiting off their mod creators, but they try to squeeze the community for more money every time they can, like with the paid mods nonsense, and also don't give a shit about them.

sounds PR stunt-y

[–] agelord@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not a stunt if it's a good thing

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 72 points 1 month ago (1 children)

OK but still good

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why would anyone think that it would be taken down? The one thing Bethesda is good at is encouraging people to mod their games. It's the only reason why I didn't give up on them as a company after those two disasters called Fallout 76 and Starfield. (But to be fair my patience is running thin. ES6 and FO5 both have got to be absolute smash hits.)

eehhh they allow modding, but do nothing to support it.

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I hear they just gave everyone on the Skyblivion mod team a copy of the remaster.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 month ago

Point still stands.

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

You know, I think I did hear that somewhere.

[–] Gibibit@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Nothing? What about the development and free public release of the Creation Kit?

[–] MonkeyBrawler@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Uhhhh didn't they try, and fail at monetizing creation kit mods? and how many REAL mods come from it?

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

It's still a thing unfortunately, one could argue they're attempting to make modding profitable for modders, but of course they get a cut too.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

Totally, this is why Bethesda games are so good for mods.
