» Sat May 28, 2011 6:11 pm There's probably been a ton of threads about this already, but meh. And before you say "lolconsolenoob", let's just calm down and hear me out.
I am by no means an expert when it comes to the technical stuff, so you might have to help me out here. If Skyrim is created with the CS, which to my knowledge it is, then the console versions of the game should be more or less the same as the PC version - you know, technically. Or at least, it wouldn't be difficult to make it so.
Could it be possible for a sort of "mod manager" that comes with the game and is accessible in the main menu to be able to install mods that have been downloaded and transferred to the system by something like a USB, or possibly straight from the internet browser? This is only my logic, and as I said I'm no expert. This mod manager could automatically put the files where they need to be, and then you select the mods you want in the main menu - like the PC.
You're probably thinking "stupid console users, now they want mods too? That's a bit farfetched." The way I see it is that many TES fans are resorting to playing on the console as a result of games becoming too advanced for their PCs to handle, and they simply can't afford to upgrade their comp especially for Skyrim. I played Daggerfall and Morrowind on my PC, but Oblivion was too good for it, so I played it on PS3. Additionally, mods have been a big part of TES since Morrowind. It has been something that really makes people stick to the games, the fact that the community can be so involved in modding. Now that many people have converted to console, it only seems fair that such a big part of TES gaming be shared across all platforms. Not only would this benefit all fans, but it could potentially be seen as revolutionary within console. Having fan-made mods installed in console games is something that hasn't been done before (or not that I'm aware).
I'd like to see 360, PS3, and PC players alike contributing their ideas about this. I'm not just another console noob who wants everything the PC has.
