*edit. I should note a good modding api and/or editor is great for any game.

I started programming though making mods for battle for middle earth 2.

However, we must make sure to keep in mind the ways in which capitalists will exploit the goodwill of developers and free software wherever it may be.

      True but the ability to mod a game is cool and should be universal

        Yeah but a good game shouldn’t need mods. See P5 or Undertale

            For some reason I got a bunch of the clothing dlc for free

          Even then, it's just free content if they did make mods for it. Undertale spinoff kinda thingies - the possibilities are endless. There's plenty of good skyrim mods that are better than the base games DLC's.

          Undertale is a linear story-driven game isn't it? People don't usually mod games that aren't a sandbox in some way.

      They’re nice to have, but yeah the fact is that week 1 will see a community-made patch which is nearly essential to play the game

        fun fact about the skyrim essential community patch - the main guy on the team was this super opinionated dipshit who decided that it was an essential bugfix to have the first dragon you fight shout dovahkiin noooooooooooooooo with the most amateurish voice acting when you kill it

        I've literally been doing skyrim binges yearly since the game came out, on PS3, PC and then PS4. Not once have I installed the community patch. Have never felt like the game was overly buggy.
