Do you think we will be able to mod the visual style? Because to me it looks to childish and too colorful. I was hoping for much more darker feeling. Still judging by the gameplay videos, I still have to see it for myself this weekend but that's how I feel about it.

I'm not talking some overhaul mods that change the world concept. Just maybe more washed out colors, darker visuals... You know what I'm getting at.

I hope there will be nothing, but noting at all modable in this game. If you think the graphics are childish, this is not the game for you.

To quote Lord British of Ultima 9, "I'm not entirely sure." Most of the addons and mods will only be for UI, and making a mod to change the texture details could risk a ban for changing the game files and stuff. I'm not sure, and it doesn't seem as though the developers themselves know what the restrictions are on addons yet. If so, it might be important to know now before the modding community gets cracking.

This has been discussed many times.

No graphics mods. They can too easily be used for cheating.

Graphics likely aren't going to be moddable to prevent cheating.

You can however always adjust colors from your monitor/TV or graphics card's drivers.

What about sweetfx?

Allowed or not?

Anything official from the devs?

It's unknown if tweaks like that are going to be detected as cheats.

Don't pretend it does not look childish, it deos look childish. The trailer does not look childish. But the game does. Unfortunately a lot of mmo's are affected by the worst thing that could have happened to mmo's: wow garbage.

It didn't stop me from pre-ordering, I just hope it will improve with expansions since it's been M rated. Colors are fine though it's the style that is the problem, non TES styling ...

Graphics look great to me. Just hope they add some high res texture packs for the graphics enthusiasts.

this modding thing is being BS nowadays if you ask me.. its saying like '' Hey this game looks bad! developers are untalented and I just want to remake this game ! '' I dont like the mods that changing the main feeling in games. and most mods are like this .

But these are my thoughts after all

Thanks to the M rating, I'm hoping we can see more gore effects and more mature themes going on. Not like nudity or anything like that, but darker stories to tell and perhaps some genuinely scary scenes that make me jump out of my skin. It'd be nice to see the rating appropriately used.

I like gore but it's not actually what I mean. I think that gore is not what it's about. I mean naive like looking world, where 10 feet spider does not make you feel uncomfortable and weary of how deadly this thing actually would be at this size and so on, fire atronachs ar whatever. Graphics that make you respect the monster just by looking at it, graphics that make you feel like you are facing forces of evil that might destroy the world you live in with ease. Instead you just run around kicking their butt totally disconnected...

Can't wait for Witcher 3, this will be proper grit fantasy, latest screens look jawdroping.

I'm not very good at illustrating my points, but yes, this is also something I would like to see. But because I'm not in Beta I'm not sure how it *feels*, though I've seen some gameplay and have been left awestruck. I hope when I get into the game this is how I feel, as you suggested ^^

Lol wut? Nudity is bad but gore is ok. : face palm :. What is this world coming to. "I WANT DECAPITATIONS AND TORTURE CHAMBERS, BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO SKIN!" Seriously people. Nudity = Natural. Heads flying in all directions is not. Don't get me wrong, I am not looking for six scenes or anything, nor am I looking for Gears of War Gore. It should be appropriate to the situation. If I am stabbing someone through the gut, yes, there should be gore. If I am bathing in the hotsprings and it is in the age of TES, yes, they should be naked. We don't need brothels, but we also don't need a wide array of unnecessary brutality.

ON TOPIC THOUGH. I don't want ANY graphic mods. NONE. All we need is someone to exploit the mods and then they can see through walls and pick out healers in the crowd without any effort. UI mods and OFFICIAL higher graphic settings are all that should be permitted.

You sure you have the right game? The criticisms so far is that this game does not have enough colours and everything is in monochrome and it's dark. I think you're talking about WoW or another MMO.

I didn't say nudity was worse than gore, it's just a matter of preference. Oftentimes in movies and games the nudity is there just for the sake of the rating, and vice versa, and adds no depth. I find gore can add a lot more to an experience than bare chests and behinds. My point is as long as it's done well, both can be a good thing.

This.

I might be alone in this but I don't want UI mods. You have this big beautiful open world to explore, why would I want to have four different sets of tool bars on the edges of my screen? I am sure you are thinking "if you don't want four tool bars or this or that then don't get them". My response would be that in my previous experience not using UI mods puts you at a disadvantage both in PvE because you are competing with other players for spots in a group, and PvP where you are facing someone that has access to more skills/spells/effects/attacks at the click of a button or press of a key than you do if you choose not to use a modified UI.

I think we should all have the same UI and if it turns out that game play works better with a less minimalist UI then the developers can add that across the board.

ALDMER? DOM?N?O?N ?S COM?NG! ALDMER? DOM?N?O?N ?S COM?NG! ALDMER? DOM?N?O?N ?S COM?NG! ALDMER? DOM?N?O?N ?S COM?NG! ALDMER? DOM?N?O?N ?S COM?NG! ALDMER? DOM?N?O?N ?S COM?NG!

Just to get the focus back on point - we're killing our way to glory in games, not effing our way to glory in games, hence gore is natural in a game world and nudity is not natural in a game world.

Why nudity is not natural in a game world? Nudity IS natural everywhere, people are born naked. But americans always been afraid of nudity in their games, despite having the top 1 pormographic industry. Anyways if I full strip a corpse, I want it naked, because that is realistic.

How is this back on point, I thought the discussion was about modding or no modding.
