A heroic Starfield modder just straight-up deleted those repetitive temple 'puzzles' from the game (www.pcgamer.com)

Someone yesterday said they don't buy Bethesda games because they're good at launch, instead they buy them because the modding community is so prolific.

Paying $60-70 for a game that requires teams of unpaid volunteers to make it playable after launch.

I bet Bethesda LOVES that guy.

This is why I bought it really. I never expected it to be good. But always enjoy what the community can do.

But doesn't the mods take time? So buying it on a sale later would be better because it is cheaper then and has more content/the content you want?

[–] Zoot_@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Mods exist now and have since day one. They've already made the game much better, but you are right they arent great yet cause they dont have the GECK. I do like to have a sort of "vanilla" playthrough before super mods. I didn't clarify that.

Some of the QOL mods out are great. Loving the UI mods for inventory.

Modders generally only make mods for games that they are enthausiastic for. Its not a given that Starfield will have a modding scene on par with Skyrim.

[–] Zoot_@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

No, not a given you are right. But regardless whether its on par with skyrim I'm interested in what they do the same way I was with fallout 4 despite not thinking that game was particularly good myself.
