Isn't going to happen. Go back to dreaming.

I would like it, but it is not possible, nor will Bethesda do it. And if it would take away from the actual game, I don't want it. So in short, I guess I don't want it.

If you thought Halo Reach Forgeworld was incredible your mind would explode if you ever tried the Map Creator in Far Cry 2

As for the original topic of this system... It would be really cool but I don't see it happening/possible.

Sure is getting angry in here... :poke:

Sony and Microsoft wouldn't allow it anyways.

Not sure if this is in reply to my post since you didn't quote anyone, but I'll answer anyway.

First of all. no one's hating on you. We're just trying to explain to you why it isn't feasible.

You have no idea how much I would like something similar to the CS for consoles. But, once again, there's just nothing in it for Bethesda.

Far cry 2's map editor was ok. I just really hate that game.

I am not against a CS for the consoles, not at all.

But developing a tool like that for the consoles would take a massive amount of development resources, even if it were at all possible. Whereas the CS that Bethesda has released for the PC up until now has always been the very tool (more or less) Bethesda used to actually build the games, after which they just gave it to the community when they were done with it. Meaning releasing the CS to the PC-community came at no real extra expense in resources to Bethesda.


Wouldn't it be just as great or greater if they simply made the mods available to the consoles as well?



The CS is the tool that allows you to modify/shift/move/place/remove/create/etc everything there is in the whole game, and which allows you to expand the game almost limitlessly. Items, statics, activators, appearal, morphs, equipment, imported models, textures, interior cells, exterior cells, landscapes, scripts, dialogue, quests, journal entries, schedules, behaviours, NPC's, creatures, enchantments, magic effects, spells, ingredients, leveled lists, sounds, climates, lights, etc, etc, almost everything you can think of which would be part of the make-up of the game.

Forge (and I love using forge) is much more limited in it's abilities. Forge is just a map editor, and higly optimised at that.

Surely, if you want to get an idea of the complexity of the CS and it's abilities, just load it on a PC.


Especially landscape editing takes a lot of resources in the CS. Elder Scrolls is nothing like Halo reach, where the maps are nicely confined to limited area's and where the overall complexity of the game mechanics is peanuts relatively speaking.

There's already an established topic and some good discussion about this http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1149342-construction-set-on-consoles/page__st__100 Let's use that thread instead.
