Microsoft talks Fallout 4 PC mods being supported on Xbox One

One of the year's biggest games will be Fallout 4 and it is releasing on Nov. 10, but for Xbox One gamers, there is plenty to look forward to in Fallout 4 during 2016. While DLC will be coming next year, so will Fallout 4 PC mods for Xbox One.

What about mods that will require script extender? All of my Skyrim and New Vegas mods that I have installed require script extender. Enhanced texture mods are out as well.

Expect a transition period for them to fix things? Not to work day one?

Lionsguard3893d ago

It's one thing to wait for certain mods to be ironed out but it's a different thing when a mod needs Script Extender. Unless there is a way to install script extender, a lot of useful mods are not going to work and there's no way around it.

Yeah they've already confirmed that only certain mods will work on the console version for XBO & PS4....wouldn't expect things like the ICE enhancer from GTA to work either. If there's a community of PC modders out there willing to work within the constraints of consoles though, there should be some pretty cool stuff happening.

Thats a good point, it seems like 90 some odd percent of popular mods across Bethesda games did require script extensions and frameworks modifications.

"What about"

What about anything? There's nothing to this article other than "yeah, this community involvement thing that we're doing, it's really great and we hope to do more of it." Not a single substantive word from this Microsoft spokesman regarding how they plan to navigate intellectual property rights or content policing for community-created content.

For all we know, the Fallout 4 creation kit could end up being a simple level editor, stripped of 90% of the functionality earlier CKs had, so that they don't have to pay teams of people to screen mods for content for extended periods of time.
That way, they can just say, hey, the CK doesn't let you add any third party meshes or textures, so all modders have to work with is the assets we included with the game. Bam, no need to bother checking to see if mods contain adult or copyrighted content.
You must remember, people are still playing and modding Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, even Fallout 3, to this day. Skyrim released in 2011. New Vegas, 2010. Fallout 3, 2008. I don't think MS, Sony, or Bethesda are going to want to pay a team of people to screen every mod that gets uploaded to Bethesda.net every day for the next 5+ years so that no adult or copyrighted content gets onto people's consoles.

I hope that I'm wrong, but I've got a bad feeling about this.

Todd Howard on 10 years of Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls 6: 'We needed a creative reset'

They need to look at Morrowind and see what the progression should have been from there instead of the regression we got with the next 2 games. They weren’t horrible games but they could have been so much more.

-Foxtrot184d ago

Fallout 4 just felt too streamlined and accessible to me, the perk system was not as fun as it was in Fallout 3, not saying Fallout 3 didn't have issues but 4 just felt like a complete step back.

mastershredder184d ago

So the part where you just sold the same games for the last 10 years while you focused on 76 and merch, was not a reset from the "creative" aspect eh? How very Todd of you.

lukasmain184d ago

I bought Fallout 4 (I loved Fallout 3) at launch and I couldn't bring myself to finish it or even get close to finishing it. It was soooo damned boring and bland. I played on a very hard difficulty and I had hundreds of stimpaks. One of the only games I've played for a while and not ended up finishing it. I hated it. Just flat out hated it.
