[ACman]

Well it's February and no creation kit. Booo.

Anyone heard anything?

I've heard angels crying when January 31st came and went and the creation kit was nowhere in sight.

You lied to me Bethesda, you said January i want my mods /sob

Joking aside, it'll probably be out sometime this week or the next, on Jan 19th they said it was looking good for the end of the month so i guess they're very close to being done.

I wonder if it's a publisher-side issue, because RAGE's editing tools still haven't appeared and it's been what, five or six months? I'm just wondering why these tools weren't here for launch. SkyEdit is good and all, it's just missing a lot of features the official kit will supply.

They will probably release it alongside that patch they've been working on. Probably by the end of this week or next week.

Apparently things have been a little more complicated this time round due to some Steam integration stuff. At least thats the case with Skyrim, I have no idea whats going on with RAGE.

And yeah, SkyEdit just aint good enough. Man, I want the creation kit so bad. (Or to be more accurate, I want the sweet mods that will be possible with the creation kit.)

Well looky looky, we got a first look here:

It is tied into Steam, so obviously it has to work on Valve time.

Yep, just caught this in my Facebook feed. Looks good. But damn, its just made me more eager to finally get my hands on it, install some sweet CK mods, maybe even try modding myself.

I hope they bring it out with the 1.4 update, cause thats not to far away.

(By the way, the steam integration thing looks terrible. Automatically updating mods without asking you? Yeah, well, FUCK NO. That could spawn all kinds of nasty problems.)

From the looks of it the new CK is extra user friendly, what with offical tutorials from the developers themselves and everything. As for the Steam Works thing? Yeah I'll stick with the Nexus Mod Manager, I like having total control of unofficial content. It can get really nasty if Oblivion taught me anything about modding.

Oblivion and Fallout 3/NV had official tutorials as well. They just kinda sucked. And yeah, auto-update for mods is just as bad as auto-update for official patches. DO NOT WANT.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

They said that the 1.4 patch will be officially released in the next week or two, and the creation kit would "soon follow"

So its coming soon, it's coming very soon, and I can't wait!

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

The patch is out on Steam now. That means CK will be released pretty soon as well.

 

[godofallu]

To be fair they originally said that the creation kit would be done in time with the games release.

So they have been creating deadlines and then skipping them for a while now.

Well it's February and no creation kit. Booo.

Anyone heard anything?

they just released a preview today (it is on youtube) and as expected uploads and downloads will be handled through Steam. while this will make getting and maintaining installed mods really easy, i do wonder how steam will handle (or even allow) some of the more controversial mods (e.g. killing kids, nudity / skimpy armor types) and people using copyrighted ideas (e.g. light sabers, LoTR related items).

Sliding scale of time

CoD time ------- Fifa/PES time ------- Blizzard time ------- Bethesda time ---------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Duke Nukem forever time ---------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Valve time

So, it's not so bad

 

[Domehammer]

So the creation kit will be tied to steam?... so then I guess people will have to mod that to use it without being tied into steam...
