20:13 if skyrim can be used as reference, you are kinda right, but also, coomer mods are just small random things while every now and then someone makes a full gameplay overhaul that completely changes the game. For example, it took years, but from 3 or so years ago to now, skyrim started to get crazy combat animation mods that completely change the gameplay. And there's 6 or so big mods that changes all perks, plus a lot of small changes, and mods that can make this perks mods work together so you don't have to choose, and also mods that add hundreds of new magic. Never underestimate the modding comunity for bethesda games.

[@shuriken4852]

MxR is so entertaining. Still the best at doing mod reviews. 😂 This guy makes some of the most entertaining content on KZbin, but what does KZbin do, try to demonetize him at every chance they get. 😡 Also that is the beauty of the Creation Kit, whatever does not fit your tastes or annoys you in the game, there will be a mod to fix that.

With most games i don't do glitches or exploits and try to keep to the developer intended experience. But with Bethesda all is fair. If I don't enjoy something it goes out the window.

If an enemy is feels unbalanced i will killallhostiles. Game has no game braking bugs because i have so many ways to go around them (crashes don't count...). After 10 years of Skyrim I'm still playing it. The only other game I've played as long is Minecraft. And that game too is all about player freedom. Best games I've played in my life, because they are literally tailor made by me for me.

[@jerryturgin6583]

The reason mo2 is so good is because it doesn't physically install the mods into your game, it virtualizes itself doing so, so if you Uninstall a mod, the loose files and shit aren't going to be stuck in your game folder and then corrupt your install, which was a massive problem for fallout 4 because if how mods are made for newer versions of the creation engine (the same engine they have been using since morrowind)

[@notmyregret]

To be fair, while a good portion of the mods are coomer mods in skyrim, the vast majority are mods that outright improve or expand the game. Thousands of mods that add weapons, armor, quests, expansions, etc... and that's typically what gets added to MxR mod highlights.

Mods make almost every game better, period. Use mods. Live life. Have fun. Drop your illogical rules. OG devs dont always know whats BEST for the game, even if you love the game. We're sitting for 9 months waiting for the original devs of so many games, implement UI fixes or quality of life stuff, that never comes. But if a game is moddable, in 2 days its done. Period. And its not glitchy, not buggy, not ugly. It's of the same quality as the original game. Use mods people. Love mods. Love yourselves.

[@lukebytes5366]

Quality of life doesn't inherently make a game better. Mods are for people who want to play a game their way and not the developers, and that's great.

Yep and all the mods some of us mod makers don't want to release to public because Bethesda and other companies implement mod content without mod makers permissions into their games. They make millions to make a half finished game while people that actually care about attention to detail and quality get nothing to finish making the game they attempted to make. We keep our personal mods to our closed friend groups. We can't even sell our mods because it might get bought by someone who will post it somewhere and allow the game maker to get ahold of it. Really wish it wasn't the way it is, but mod makers have to protect their work from being hijacked and claimed by big name companies with millions of dollars to back up their claims against you. For years I modded by myself but I found a group of modders and first thing we all do when we get a new game is start tearing it apart, grabbing any package extractors to edit files and utilities needed to mod. It's so nice having a group all giving each other mods and working together to make the game better. Feels amazing you are playing the game a way no one else gets to experience, but also kind of disheartening and sad you can't share the same experience with others without risking your work being hijacked.

i suspect the mods are being created so fast because fallout and skyrim already had huge modding communities and these modders built off whatnwas already there, stuff like the script extender and "StarUI" are likely built from the skyrimscript extender and skyUI. they had this stuff ready for launch , like they were working on it to get it out there as soon as physically possible

Modders: make a useable UI within a week Bethesda: thousands of people can't make a useable PC UI over 10 years

[@Fergus-H-MacLeod]

Man, I need to check out that UI. I hate the game one.

[@Michellex1]

I agree. I am not sure I will buy the game, they have relied on modders to fix their crap for far too long.

[@optimusakc]

@Michellex1 I will buy the game in 2-3 years once the modding community is well established in Starfield and lots of "game changing" mods are released for it. The game will likely be on sale by then too. Exactly what I did with all Bethesda games. The modders fix and improve everything!

[@DoodlingHitman]

i got it and it is reallllly good. especially in combination with undelayed menus. shit's so fast now@@Fergus-H-MacLeod

[@RatShadows]

Just pirate it, Bethesda doesn't deserve money.

[@112Famine]

What blows me away is the makers of the game COULD have done these mods as part of the normal game, & no not talking about the photos of the girl with the boobs, talking about the inv management patches that look a must have to play the game. Can't see anyone that played this game for a ton of hours being happy after seeing some guy knocked these mods out in a few hours.

[@thelifeofkenji4900]

I'd bet that they spent a ton of time building the mod tools with the foresight of all the stuff that should be in the game, but the awareness that if you give the modders the tools to build it, Bethesda don't need to spend their own time and budget implementing it all. The relationship between bethesda and modders is like an author of a colouring book. Bethesda make the outline drawing, then modders do the colouring in.

[@02lucy666]

well, they did with morrowind... which starfield uses its engine. So its basically just the same ever since.

It seems like microsoft will push them to release bug fix patches.

[@DjLuCKyCHaRM]

Please make a series out of this, following all the good mods, amazing to watch!

[@anids1988]

these mods come so fast cuz its on the creation engine so basically the mods that would work for fallout and skyrim with a bit of tweaking can just be put into starfield! the guys making these mods are prob more familiar with the game engine and what you can do with it than most of bathestas devs at this point! i wouldn't be shocked to see entire planets (the world of booba knowing these guys) and storylines added in the near future and better player housing etc, prob be some ship parts too!

[@Darkasakura]

Seeing all the things created by the Modders is beautiful. It saddens me when things I want just aren't in the game created by 100s of people compared to just a small portion of people ❤ the Modding community

[@GregDV]

I have a lot of those mods MXR talks about including with the main menu replacer mod "Dream Star" also changed the main menu song with " Children of the sky" by Imagine Dragons. Currently running 71 mods so far increasing every few days. I played on early release on Sept 1st and there were several mods on day 1.

[@TheGeneral6669]

This goes to show Bethesda doesn't know how to really make games. They make an open sandbox where the gamers really make a functional game.

[@Maxranviir]

The thing with the modders behind Bethesda games, is that they know how the Creation Engine works better than Bethesda themselves do. Some of the stuff people have managed to achieve with Skyrim is nothing short of incredible.

[@ZanesZygot]

It's funny seeing Asmon watching MxR, one of the channels I've watched the most since early Skyrim days

[@bowiehunter]

"How is this a mod" Because bethesda doesn't actually know how to make a game playable, and solely rely on modders to fix everything.

Miss seeing MXR. Used to watch his videos religiously while learning how to mod. 🥰

Natural LUTs and StarUi Inventory are the Must Have Mods all Player need and should install.

[@Driptor_Swagpyre]

Im honestly amazed. Simple icons to identify what an item is about at a glance. Its almost like that should have been in the base game. Leave it to modders to make the game what it should have been from the factory. Keep being you bethesda.

Really surprised Asmo has never checked out the modding scene or knows very little about it. Skyrim & Fallout are a completely different experiences with the modding community. There is gigantic potential for Starfield.

It's always great when you need a mod for your mods. Definitely screams high quality game

[@robr135]

Script extenders are not really a typical 'mod' in the strictest sense. It is kind of but its more a framework dll that 'hacks legally' into the game executable opening up the game for complex modding. But only PC gamers can have this because its a windows executable. Sorry console people. But script extender is almost as important to the game itself for high level modding.

[@RealNefastus]

That's basic stuff for Bethesda games since people tend to go crazy with the mods, they need to modify the game's .ini files and overall add more functions to it. If it was simple add texture, add sound etc. mods, sure but making big changes need those "extra mods" such as SFSE. But that's basic stuff for people who got into deep modding of Skyrim where you have like 20 required mods to run the other 80.

[@zorastin]

[@hotrodhunk7389]

​@@ex1tiumyeah that's my first thought as well. Some committee decided what they wanted and no matter what the programmers say they already decided what they're doing and it's too late to change. Plus every change has to be qa tested. Whereas a mod doesn't have to be.

Nah, the Skyrim modding community was absolutely insane. Some mods even spun off into full blown games (The Lost City) themselves, you could even mod LotR into Skyrim. I'm not expecting the same for Starfield, since there isn't the same love and passion from gamers.

[@RabidBeast45]

@@DarkEnigma1115 The game had more mods before official release than most games have after years of being released lmao. Bethesda has had official mod tools since morrowind, at least, and they fully embrace the help and efforts of their fans to create new content or patch bugs that weren't caught during testing or just due to lack of time. These games are massive with hundreds of hours of gameplay without mods alone. There's a reason why there is not a single true competitor to bethesda. The resources and time needed to make these games will result in either a star citizen or a game that fully embraces mods and help from the actual player base. I don't know about you but I'd rather play a modded game than none at all.
