Modding is dying...?

[Omnific One]

Bethesda games --> Evidence why modding is alive and kicking.

There are quite a few total conversion packs for Oblivion, Morrowind, FO3/F:NV.

I think it had something to do with mods mostly being for PC gaming. As such, mods are dying.
Read between the lines.

They used tools first, I had to be specific because some people wouldn't understand what you where getting at.

You crush gods for a living, some cannot comprehend your wordsmithing.

FPS games are largely sold to kids, so it is only natural that their games attract less quality mods than, say, Elder Scrolls - which is a series for gentlemen and scholars.

and then I lol'd a hearty lol.

In the case you're actually being serious, I disagree. (surprise)

Uh...

From their blog:

What platform is it for?

This is unknown at this point. We are interested in bringing Hawken to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

So that one you aren't just enjoying for yourselves.

Look at the bottom right corner at the end of the trailer. There's a tiny logo of UDK. And UDK only supports the Windows and iOS platforms as of now. And Epic doesn't release the source code for this engine.

They might license the UE3 engine from the revenues they get from PC sales and then go multi-platform, but I don't see it happening now.

But lemme know what I'm missing.

Why are you here again? Please go troll somewhere else.

Agreed wholeheartedly. I actually thought of that when I saw the title of the thread. Oblivion was a rather dry game for me until I got Shivering Isles. Now I have lizard dressed like Ezio who can fly.

Fallout games are greatly improved by mods.

Dragon Age (admittedly not Bethesda) is better with mods. Mass Effect ...better with mods. There are still people modding NWN and NWN 2 or Baldur. Vampire: Bloodlines is still being modded and patched regularly.

The fact that there are engines that cannot be modded is true, but there are much more that can. Every game has a fandom that tried to make the game better. And while fanbases and fan communities exist (along with the internet...) then mods will continue to appear.

Edit: Just for the record, I think every game I have ever played has had a hidden nude patch/mod somewhere...except, I don't know, Mario or Supaplex. Which would have been terrifying. That counts.

Mods will stop being made when every game is always considered perfect by every gamer ever...and even then people will probably make mods just for the hell of it.

I guess if humanty loces all creativity mods may die too...along with well...fun.

What about Minecraft their is a very big modding community for that
