Damn excellent work Mr. Carter. Don't shelve the Skyrim strips just yet; there is plenty of water left in that well.

"Tentacles rising, from the ocean blue...fightfightfight, fightfightfight, Miskatonic U!"
<makes finger-tentacles on chin>
"Goooooo 'Pods!"
The university fight song for the Miskatonic University 'Fighting Cephalopods'.
I support modding- as a long-time player of Halflife, you kinda see 'em all.
However, in my experience the thing you'll see modded most often and with incredible dedication are the following:
1. Mods involving nudity and/or sex
2. Mods which let players overcome some moral standard the game designers built into the game.
The first usually gets made, then left alone. The second tends to get modded, then modded more as time goes on.
Heck, look at Gary's Mod- I'd swear that was created solely to see how many NPC's you could create, stack, and then kill in hilarious ways.

Screw those modders, it's the one that fix the more nasty bugs and glitches and crashes that are the true heroes among modders.
Which reminds me, I need to go see if I can find something to help Fallout New Vegas' Honest Hearts add-on from constantly crashing.

Good one, my current favorite mod is one which slows down skill leveling progression by a lot. It is way harder to achieve astronomical skill levels now.
Training is much more important so that makes money much more important. The "crafting" skills level much slower so you don't have to worry about accidentally out-leveling your combat skills by making stuff. And it takes a lot more mats to level up crafting so that again makes money more important to afford all the things you want to craft.
I run about 40 mods now, and the construction kit isnt even out. I'm sure for my next toon I'll run 300ish like I did with new vegas.

Yeah. Because in past modders haven't turned out to be future developers. It's not like Team Fortress or DoTA started as simple mods, yup? It's totally not Quake, running the id engine, that influenced plenty of people that today do make games You play.Tin Man said:
Sure, many modders won't go further than basic scripting for a game they play, but guys who make new textures, guys who code in entirely new features - They are adding to their portfolios, and probably have some background in either graphic design or programming with them.
And to perfectly honest, if You ever designed a website it's not that hard to understand the basics of game modding, since most of them use very simplified script engines for coding.

I had this weird bug were wolves even with a hostile health bar come up wouldn't attack me.
They would just follow me around and circle me but wouldn't actually bite me. I kinda thought that would be a cool mod to be an animal friend like the fallout 3 perk.

I mean, most game developers didn't start out as modders or anything like that.Tin Man said:
No.
You're so right. Fuck them!
I really, really was expecting the punchline to be sex mods.Versuvius said:
Correction, you don't care.Tin Man said:
Many games that have been long ago forgotten by their own developers are still alive - Diablo 2, Titan Quest, Neverwinter Nights, thanks to modders.
I bet you're against charity and free food, too.
Bah, stupid casuals...real players adapt to the game rather than trying to put a wrapper around the inconvenient parts.
Either grow crab hands or suck it up.
