Imblying you can stop modders. Plus, if they do manage to kill modding, the game will be fucking dead, since everything Bethesda puts out needs their players to fix for it to be even playable.

Sorry Todd, but paid mods = no buy. And we wouldn't want that would we?

>>385307353

>People are actually worried about modding

Mods existed when devs didn't want them too and will continue to do so. Over the years complacency meant that we got used to just going to a nexus, downloading something cool, slapping it in the data folder and away we went.

If devs go the route of paid mods with DRM to prevent modding, we all know how that stupid song and dance goes.
Group of avid modders start advocating piracy, work out ways around the mod DRM, and we go back to ye ol' days of editing .ini files to get mods to run.

There's a big market for the TES formula to be done better and no other franchise comes close to trying. Even witcher 3 is a totally different type of game in terms of gameplay.

>>385309130
What engine does it run on?

>>385309130

>Up to 4 players

Why the fuck hasn't this been done yet, not just by Bethesda but anyone?

An open world RPG with co-op? I can think...two-worlds? and even then it was neutered.
Is it just that hard? Do devs just chop multiplayer straight off the block the moment they put the words "open world" and "rpg" on the design document?

I guess MMOs count but they are their own beast, they don't have the same feeling.
I want a single player RPG experience, morrowind, oblivion, skyrim etc, where I can drag some buddies in and we go on a merry fucking adventure.

>>385308772
They don't have to go the DRM route. Modders these days can only alter what isn't "locked".

For example, there's areas of the base radiant AI that modders simply couldn't touch in oblivion or skyrim because it's locked up.

If bethesda want to control other areas, sadly they absolutely could.

Still if the paid mods are actually good this time around I'll just pirate them, so at least there's that.

It's because in a game like TES, there would be SOOO much info having to constantly pass over the network. For example, think of all those physics entities objects the player can pick up, take, interact with. Their positions need to be the same for all 4 players, so all that info having to be constantly synced over the net... and that's just one specific thing to deal with.

I'd guess we're only now getting to a point were debs can consider this kind of coop option.

Maybe it's just my personal experience but when I'm playing CO-OP I just don't care about sandbox elements, role play, good writing, deep character customization and all that matters is the gameplay.

What if you pirate AND mod the game?

>>385309993

I enjoy that too, but when I was playing around in sandbox style RPGs in the past a prevailing thought was. "Man, I wish I could bring in friends, we could make a full adventuring party ala DND"

And hell maybe that's just us.

Well, kinda. You don't necessarily need to update everything at once. Clever synchronization and things like determinism go a long way.

>>385310251
I'm like that too, anon. Also, when playing sandbox co op games, we tend to come up with our own objectives/stories.

>>385310347
Of course, just explaining the gist of it.

A game studio I used to work for had a similar issue with a prototype game, it had lots of entities that would need to be updated asap for all 4 players. It was a total ballache for the programmers to get right without sacrificing gameplay to get right. I think in the end they actually scraped network play and went split screen only for MP.

>>385307353
>TES VI
Yeah sure Todd.

>>385310615
Not even close to the scale of which TES works. And that's without mentioning all the other shit that would need to be synced up for MP to work properly.

I fucking HATE you todd (aka todd's bosses)

I just started playing New Vegas and I wanted to ask you guys since you all have such a hardon for Todd knowledge and New Vegas.

I ran into one of the traveling merchants with the one guard usually with a brahmin behind them.

I talked to the merchant and I noticed he looked incredibly familiar, and I realized the merchant looked a lot like Todd. Is that an easter egg/joke the devs did and made on the traveling merchants look like staff or is it just Todd?

I'm not kidding when I say it looked like Todd either.

I didn't take a screen. It didn't fully register in my head that I should have until 45 minutes later.
