Definitely, one thing I really truly loved about ordinator was that it would use perks from other per trees, like here's an example you could use an alteration spell that would mix well with your speech perks, so if you wanted to conjure yourself up a guitar you could do that or a flute and then you could play the flute without actually having the physical item in your inventory, but I also loved how your shouts were tied to your speech in that mod, I don't know why Bethesda never thought of that, like it made no sense that they would be separate the ordinator or the creator of ordinator made those two mix very well.

Personally I don’t have any issues with mods like this being paid. With Kinggath you know you will get your money’s worth. Its paid mods like the Morthal mod that Arthmoor made. All it does is give 2 npcs in the Morthal area homes. And he is actually charging money for this. I know the guy doesn’t have a great reputation but cmon. Another paid mod that’s ridiculous is the Starfield one that adds a noodle stand to Neon. It’s just a vendor. You don’t get to run it as a business or anything. I dont know what the vetting process is like to be allowed to sell mods but Bethesda really needs to do some quality control.

[@and...and..]

Arthmoor is a clown

[@xtranathor8143]

I don't know if quality is the right word for your example. It's not that the vendor is bad quality, but it isn't worth charging for. Starfield isn't priced based on the number of different assets, it's priced based on the experience and content on offer. The vendor is nice, but only makes up a fraction of an experience - it's perfect for a free mod (that I would still consider not worthwhile). Like you say, if it was included as part of a wider content batch (like business management or just more vendors) then it would be more viable to charge for.

[@Arkayjiya]

I've never been against paid mods. It was the way Bethesda implemented it that I was furious about. I've always wanted them to be: 1) new mods or at least not mods that the author would suddenly delete from nexus to reupload as paid, 2) high quality with a guarantee from Bethesda so that they can justify their cut. If those conditions are fulfilled, I'm not beyond paying. Simple mods? There are too many of them and there will always be someone to provide a free alternative. Big expansions like Fallout London, Sims Settlement, and possibly this, I'll check it out in more detail at least, sure I'd pay for that.

Remember this. TODD Howard gave jobs to modders with the creations patch. So its likely u will see alot of mods that will be worth the money from our favorite creators, provided they havent boycotted creations, which i think would be a mistake to do fully. A sort of " dont knock it until u try it, type of thing. But the biggest thing that should be important is that oppurtunity was given directly to ANY creator with this patch. And for the longest time people always joked around about how Todd howard should just pay those guys money at this point. He did give modders the oppurtunity for this. Its also another oppurtunity to ( support ur favorite mod authors.) Nothing really wrong with that.

[@smartkookie4267]

I enjoyed the East Empire Expansion and am considering purchasing the Bards College Expansion hoping it can be played (not entirely of course) by non-dragonborn characters. I played the original Skyrim in an XBox 360 almost on the day that it was released and I've owned most of the versions for different systems. Since then, I've been a "dragonborn" only twice and never liked the shouts mechanics or visuals. Fire and magic coming out of my mouth is not my thing. But singing and playing instruments is, so I've used mods like "Become A Bard", "Bards Reborn: Student Of The Song", "Skyrim's Got Talent - Improve As a Bard", and in "Ordinator': Perks of Skyrim", the speech skill "Performer". None involve shouts or having to advance the main quest. So I expect to have enough "non-dragonborn" content in this creation for players like me that simply want a decent roleplaying experience as a bard.

This ... this I am willing to fund this

[@waywardjoker6061]

You CAN tell it's not vanilla skyrim because it's a good quest with ways to flesh out your own character with your responses 😭

[@MightyDantheman]

This is why I support the idea of paid mods. While I'm not a fan with how Bethesda handled this and how it broke everything and how most of the paid mods are not worth the price they're sold at, I support the idea of paid mods that are worth spending money on. I compare paid mods to Skyrim's original DLC. If a mod does not equal the value of those DLC, perhaps they shouldn't have that high of a price. Paid mods allow for groups/studios to have a greater interest in creating larger scale and higher quality mods. Obviously there's going to be a lot of people making mods that I wouldn't recommend paying for, but that's what the free market is meant to regulate. Only buy mods that you find to be worth it. Eventually we'll be left with mods of this quality or higher. I also believe that developers, modding or not, should be paid for their work in some way.

[@anthonym840]

This is really the reason Bethesda came up with creations. Bare in mind u can actively choose what u like better out of the content that is released, so its not without choice to select a mod. Alot of people mistaken it for a none choice type of thing, or just a money grab. But they forget their own communites willingness to pass on good quality content to the audience from time to time. If we get the chance to support them, why should we not? I remember along time ago everyone joked aboit how bethesda should pay these people. I mean, now nobody can really say they dont.

[@MightyDantheman]

@@anthonym840 Exactly. I think this only got as much hate as it has due to Bethesda completely ruining modding with this update, where even mods that never broke before with updates were then broken. Lots of mod authors also simply no longer update their mods. I'm not sure what they could've done better as I'm obviously not a developer there and don't know the details, but I bet they could've done this in a less hostile way (towards preexisting mods). I'd love to try out this mod, and I'm 100% willing to pay for quality mods, but sadly won't be updating to the latest version of Skyrim unless most (preferably all) of my mods are supported by it again.

[@anthonym840]

@@MightyDantheman unfortunately theres almost no way to avoid broken mods on an update to code of an existing game. And id say the way they did this update was actually least hostile because they actually calaberated with the creator of SKSE and two other modders before releasing the patch. So that some creators of core essential mods would be aware of the update. So i wouldnt even really use " hostile" to address that very situation, theres just not much anyone can truly do to soften the situation of changing game code. Its never a clean change. BG3 and Dragons Dogma 2 also suffer from broken mods after an update. And the creators of BG3 almost make it a ritual to prepare their modding community for an update, because they inevitably break saves on update. The good part about this latest update with bethesda though is that its likely tgere wont be any more updates that directly effect game code, ratger updates exlusively from creations, which means this will liklely be the last time anyone will have to deal with broken saves. There is an alternative to updating. And thats downgrade patching. The creator of the downgrade patcher lilely hasnt updated the patcher on nexus to work for the latest version of skyrim, but he as well as abunch of other content creators have providee a method ro downgrade patch urself, which was super easy, espesially for me who really only started PC modding a year ago.

[@MightyDantheman]

@@anthonym840 Bethesda has worked with those mod authors for prior updates as well, that isn't new. The issue with this update is that it broke more mods than ever before. Some mod authors even called it "butchered". Mods that were never broken by a previous update were broken by this one. There were also changes made that either weren't needed or were done in the worst way possible when there were better ways of doing it that wouldn't have caused as many issues as it had. At least downgrading is an option, but it's a hacky solution. When it comes to modding games, you actually can make an existing game not break mods. The best way to do this is to provide tools or API for mod authors to use, which Skyrim does and those mods don't break. The issue is that some utility mods, that many other mods require, are the ones that break. This part we're all used to for each update. I still blame Bethesda for not offering native support for the same API that these utility mods provide, but that's old news at this point. The issue is that this update made changes that broke even SkyUI and a few other mods that I can't remember. But the sad part is that some of these utility mod authors just don't update their Skyrim mods anymore, leaving them forever broken for later versions, as well as the mods that depend on them. As I said, I am in support of paid mods, and thankfully Skyrim will likely never need another update again. But most of the people who still play Skyrim are likely people that play with mods, and those people aren't going to use the most up-to-date version of Skyrim. How can these paid mod authors actually get paid if the majority of the audience can't even use this store? They say they care about their modders, but just look at Starfield. Bethesda said that they planned this game with modding in mind, and yet it's the least moddable game they've made to date (aside from Fallout 76 as that's an online game and I assume that doesn't support mods, but that's not the point).

[@anthonym840]

@@MightyDantheman if this isnt new, then how would it ve hostile? Also the word hostile implies an actual ( purposful) attack or strong dislike in some way. If this were even the case, it would go directly against logically doing anything to support any portion of the community( which theyve litterally done.). The entire update itself would be redandant. I think u and I understand that its not. Thats why i disagree with the notion that its (hostile) to the community. The word doesnt really make since considering the actual intent of the update.

ONly about 45% of the way through the video, but this looks awesome so far. There's another faction that I always thought, even during my first play through, before I'd really gotten "into Skyrim", and that's the Vigilants of Stendarr. They just seem like they're so so lacking compared to the overtones set by the [limited] interactions the player gets with them. Dawnguard DLC didn't do them any favors in that regard by having the Hall of the Vigilant getting torched by the vampires early on - what is that, by the time the player reaches level 9? - so the player likely won't encounter their headquarters. But they have locations and lore to work with. Even if their HQ is a lump of charcoal now, that's just a few pen strokes for a writer with talent to turn it into the beginning of a questline. Or the middle of one. And it would give the player another angle to use for when they want to do a play through as a "good" character, with all the "we fight the daedra" hobby options laying around Skyrim, lololol.

I wish Bethesda would find a way to add these to the console versions because I really don’t feel like paying $60-$70 for the base + anniversary upgrade + this new dlc 😭😭😭

[@gustaveardila6286]

You are NOT convincing me to eat up two thirds of my hard drive installing mods and Skyrim again. You will not!!!

[@BoJangles42]

SSDs are way too cheap for this to be a valid concern

[@blinkq_530]

@@BoJangles42 ssd isnt the only thing you need gotta install all those mods to

[@GoalOrientedLifting]

SSDs are so cheap these days. How small is your HDD if it takes up so much of it?

[@anthonym840]

Well how about this. Youngscrolls just released a top quality Skyrim music replacer mod 3 months ago. Listen to that and tell me u wouldnt wanna free up some space for another playthrough.

[@anthonym840]

If that doesnt do it. Apotheosis ( a DLC sized mod currently on its finishing stages) comes out next year. Look up trailers.

[@MinosML]

Not interested in buying a paid mod but it does look pretty neat ngl Kinggathn and the whole team deserve the praise

[@masterneloth]

Never actually bought a CC mod, except for the Anniversary Edition. I didn’t even like EEE. But I might get this as it actually seems with the price.

[@rfisher89]

Bard duels. The diss track of tamriel

[@evgeniygerkus9242]

Does anybody know if echoes are different for every shout? This mod seems to bring a lot of features that were already available with EnaiSaion's Ordinator, but the idea of minimalistic shout overhaul is too good not to invest 10 bucks into

[@CTJesse501]

We really need a mage College expansion

[@waelse1]

The Become a Bard mod is pretty good, guess it shouldn't be used in conjunction with this one. Sounds worth trying.

[@e21big]

This actually seems interesting but I am worry that it may has compatibilities issue as it seems to change quite a big aspect of the game. I have 2 mods that already partially did what this mod aim to accomplish - Ordinator and Interesting NPC and they are the very core of my load order. That and I wish he didn't only sell them via Creation Club. I might have actually be very willing to pay for this mod if I don't have to buy Bethesda credits or more importantly, install it using MO2 on older version of Skyrim

[@xenno8496]

Do we know if Anniversary Edition is getting an update that bundles this in? I would love to play this...but unfortunately I made the poor decision of making Skyrim THE ONLY Elder Scrolls game I don't own on Steam, got it on my Switch

[@4Skyrim]

Quality over everything when it comes to betheda, ES 6 has to put quality first and modders will follow.

[@WakkasLove]

I bought it. I know it was pricey at $10 but I don't care. The author deserves support. This even has some of the original voice actors. IMO, this is what we expected with Creation Club.

[@th3thatguy631]

If CC started like this we wouldnt have hated it as much if at all

[@jk3jk35]

This was so good he just started calling it DLC and not a Creation

[@simontheblind8417]

The mod team's efforts to create seamless and immersive experiences are hindered only by the overwhelmingly superior quality of their efforts as compared to any similar element in the vanilla games. I'd have felt guilty playing BCE for free. I wish I could've simply paid for Sim Settlements and Sim Settlements 2.

[@SCSAsJorts]

Literally the moment I heard they updated the creation store/update I had the fear of it bricking my mods XD glad its not what I thought it was

[@TheFlyWahine]

Whats "cool" or "good" depends on waht your after. Like your favorite gear showing up on your character or improving the nature of skyrim to look...idk way better and realistic or a more closer to realistic that actually look pleasing to the eye and not constantly remind you of the 2 dollar budget that bethesda had for skyrim. Or adding more nature sounds and all the backround sounds you expect to hear in a city, cave forest etc.

[@PatriceRacine]

For the first time, I'm really interested in a paid creation. If it's not a compatibility nightmare, I'll definitively give it a go

[@MrBobPilarski]

This may be redundant but will this work with the become a bard mod?

[@limitbreaker9797]

No bugs? $10 DLC? Todd Howard will make sure we need hear from this modder again

[@B0R3D901]

Fine, I'll play skyrim again

[@TheKrisk]

What we need is a mod like the museum of skyrim. I would love to play that on ps5

[@blalock219]

Does anyone know the requirements for starting bards college expansion? I really want to just jump in after Helgen and walk to Solitude and start. Can someone confirm if this is possible? Or is there more msq required? Thanks!

[@Sirick]

Can start it as soon as you're able to travel to Solitude (although, the main quest will need you to do some vanilla main quest stuff at some point).

[@anthonybottigliero8336]

I doubt I'll buy it, but the Bards College was really thin, definitely needed some love.

[@kennethgrey7829]

Real question, does it disable achievements like the follower creation?

[@DavidAllen-rm2wc]

Skyrim needs something where you can max out your skill points easier and you get more skill points easier

[@jb30109]

I could have sworn that verified creations could not use custom assets as part of their contract. I'm very pleased to be misinformed.
