Honestly I think it’s come to a point with Bethesda we’re we have to accept they aren’t the same company that made Skyrim. As someone who TES5 was my favorite game and I’ve been waiting for TES6 for years… I’ve given up on Bethesda
Ya I started noticing it when they messed with my favorite games sequel, fallout 4 😢 I liked the new mechanics but I did not feel like the character/adventurer in the world I’ve felt in previous games.
I still love old bethesda games and I always will. Oblivion and Skyrim are two of my favorite games. But yeah it's true modern bethesda games just don't hit the same. But I'm still open to the possibility of ES6 being good. My big problem with starfield was they made some steps forward with the writing, but it still needed a lot of work, and the exploration is awful. If I feel like I'm just constantly trying to get to the quest marker and there's nothing interesting along the way that kills it for me. That's a big part of why I play oblivion and skyrim with no fast travel. The journey is important to me in these games.
I love the update, it adds the ability for anybody to run mods without doing a bunch of troubleshooting or some weird flashdrive transfer. That being said I only run independent mods like ordinator and apocalypse, stuff like that.
There’s a super easy solution here that Bethesda will never consider. All mods are free. Every time a new account downloads a mod, Microsoft pays the creator of the mod a small fee. What about uploaders who did not create the original mod? Glad you asked. Mod creators have to register with Bethesda in order to receive this money, and Mods are required to stipulate who the author is. If an uploader puts a game on Bethesda’s creation page, and that mod does incredibly well, (say a popular mod on Pc is ported to Xbox or PlayStation) the uploader will be rewarded for every 10,000 downloads with either credits for the creations page, or some other reward that they get to choose instead. It’s ridiculous how easy this could be if they just spent five seconds figuring out a solution that isn’t meant to throttle the community for money.
Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't most of the Anniversary Edition Creations restored cut content to some degree? That's why they feel meaningful, because they were meant to be in the game to some degree but they didn't have the time to finish the dungeon/quest line.
Not sure on that one, but they definitely feel almost vanilla to me at this point. It's cemented into my mind that goblins spawn in the rift and there is a dangerous camp of golden saint bandits near whiterun that will decimate you at low levels.
Mods should always be free. It should be up to the consumer whether or not to support them monetarily. If the the mod is beloved then we will pay on Patreon or other means.
Idk man mods are usually labors of love sure but like … it’s still labor and I would much rather give money to an independent modder than to a massive corporation … lots of people feel entitled to free content and it’s so backwards lmao
I feel like modders should be able to put their content behind a paywall. However, it should not be Bethesda that benefits from it, it should be the modders. If the modder doesn't deserve the money, then people won't pay for the mod. I know of mods I would pay for.
I appreciate your opinion and I do get where you're coming from, but I do feel that mod authors being able to make money off their stuff is good. My problem is that the creation club mod authors don't even get a percentage based cut and it's usually a bad deal for the customer. I am happy to pay for curated mods that all fit a consistent tone, but I want it to be a good deal, and I'd prefer a package deal like a season pass rather than many small payments for many small mods.
The new console gen is easily capable of way more reserved /allocated space than the pathetic 5 gb they currently get. PC users get pretty much unlimited mod space and some pc's aren't even as good as the current gen consoles. We deserve at least 30-50 gb allocated mod space to play with. They've now had multiple opportunities to improve the reserved space for current gen consoles...but no. Doing this would breath new life into Skyrim for so many people.
Honestly, i stopped playing skyrim and fallout when creation club released. it caused more issues then anything else, and i just don't bother anymore... and while i might pay for a big DLC sized mod. Like Fallout London, i will not pay for random mods that add this or that item. I certainly dont want bethesda involved in that kind of thing... Creation club just needs to go away.
Spending 5 dollars 50 times is 250 dollars, not 500.

At this point I might just go back to playing legendary edition so I don’t have to worry about my mods being broken with every update

CC modders will be competing with dudes who do it for free, and probably better. It will be a bloodbath.
Good point.

Interesting idea. I think you're on the right track. The way bethesda pays it's mod authors is not as generous as they'd have you believe.

I just wanted to play, now I’m trying to downgrade so my mods will load
Been there :( I had a ton of mods during the last update and all of them got screwed over. My next playthrough was vanilla for that reason.

@@rustyshackleford634 I agree. ultimately it should be the modder's decision to paywall or work off donations.

@@crunkers_ I agree the creation club modders should receive the profits that are made. Honest pay for honest work.
I can't even load the menu. Not sure why
Thanks Todd.

I worry about the upcoming graphics update for FO4. I run about a hundred mods and there's a good chance the update will break some or most of them.

This guy talking through a potato
Kind of yeah.
Heh, looks like he's gaming on a potato too!
@@OG_Agrivar Gotta disagree there, im on a ps5. If I was playing skyrim on my laptop it would be a potato.
@@crunkers_ potato potato
My mods are loading 😭
We're gonna be paying for all the mods for the next game haha.
Agree
