FO3 > FONV modifications from FO3nexus?

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 12:21 pm

sorry if this topic was posted but i searched for it already.


anyways. i was curious if we would be able to transfer any fan made addons/mods from FO3 to FONV?

the game looks very much like the previous fallout so this made me wonder.

any knowledge of this?

Probably not directly you'll most likely have to remake them. Stuff like scripting and text can be copied and pasted of course.

You can port mods as long as they do not contain any Fallout 3 assets.

I have heard it won't be impossible, I know Miaximus is currently working on such a transfer for his mod, he knows the In's and outs.

the mods are what make bethesda games so great for PC gamers.
true the consoles has us beat on everything else, but i wouldnt trade my PC for a console ever for mods alone.

rest easy, as with the mass player made content readily available from fallout 3- Fallout New Vegas is gonna be hit hard with early created mods like no other game before it.

The problem with that is we are not allowed to use content from Fallout 3 in modding for New Vegas.
Recreating a Fallout 3 mod from scratch, yes that is allowed, porting a mod directly from one to the other isn't. If I remember correctly Bethesda have a long standing policy of not allowing assets from one of their games to be ported into another even if the game is a direct sequel.
