Multiplayer MODS

Post » Tue Mar 15, 2016 7:58 pm

I know the PC version of Fallout 4 has tons of MODS do they have a Multi player MOD and if so when MODS come to the consoles will we be able to use that MOD?

There is no MP mod, and there may not be for a good long while.

:facepalm:



You can't just slap multiplayer into the game afterwards, with mod or any other way. It has to be incorporated into the game early in its development.

So I am assuming that's something that wasn't put in with the anticipation of a multi player MOD

There is not a single line of code in the game for any MP features. It was never designed to have any MP features.



It's a singleplayer game and should stay that way. Not not every game needs to be ruined with pointless multiplayer.

I know that. I was answering the OPs post. And someone did try to make an MP mod for Skyrim. Last I heard, it wasn't working very well.







I completely agree.

I wasn’t even suggesting every game or even Fallout Should be multiplayer. I was just asking if there was a MOD for it because I think it would be fun to hang out in Fallout with some of my XBL friends. You don’t have to be rude about it. And lovefool35 nobody needs to be flogged. Jeeze stop being so overly sensitive.

I'm going to let you in on some history; every single time Bethesda releases a game somebody asks this question. Many of us have been around since Morrowind or before. We've been dealing with this question for over a decade over and over again.



In a world saturated with multi-player games it's understandable that we'd want one of the last true single-player focused studios to remain that way. It is a sensitive subject, no matter how you present it. What you're proposing here is the complete opposite of what most of us want from a Bethesda game. It's a forum so people will be brutally honest with you about that.



Also, what you're proposing is not something one can just mod into the game. There's a lot more to multiplayer than just changing a few settings. Believe or not people have tried to make Bethesda games multiplayer; they always fail because the game engine just isn't designed for that kind of use. I guess most people here just want to tell you that this is one of those ideas that is quite literally never going to happen, so there's no point in even arguing the point.

MP like how WoW or SWTOR is set up definately wouldnt work in an FO setting. TES yes...thats why they gave us TESO. But running around the wastelands with a couple hundred other "sole survivors" out there wearing pipboys is kinda immersion breaking. Now maybe if it was a co-op mode that had a max of say 4 players that might be more believable. However i wouldnt count on them adding even CO-OP into FO4. Look at how a lot of the indoor areas are designed. Lots of hallways with barely enough room to squeeze through. Take your average indoor quest area and imagine 3+ people doing it. Two might be doable since you do that right now with you and your comp. Actually you and your comp will get into each others field of fire but whatevs. Hey maybe FO5 will have co-op if we ask for it nicely :P and they can make leveling areas and indoor areas/dungeons for a max of 3-4 players size-wise.

The PC version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has a multiplayer mod.



Not sure what it's progress is if it even functions properly, last I checked two years ago or so it wasn't very good.



The PC version of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is getting a multiplayer mod with the OpenMW open source video game engine.



With all of that said all video games developed by Bethesda Game Studios need to stay 100% singleplayer only.

Ok again let me state I was not advocating that we should have a Fallout Multi Player game or MMO. I was simply asking if there was a MOD on the PC and if that MOD would ever come to the consoles once MODS for the consoles became available. That question was answered thank you. The rest of you that went needlessly nuts about this need to
take a pill and chill out.

True every word.



I admit my previous post may have been a bit rude but the point should be clear. BGS games have always been singleplayer only and vast majority want them to stay that way. People should understand that adding MP affects singleplayer experience. You can't add MP without taking away something from SP.



Sure, there's a mod for Skyrim, Tamriel Online. I haven't tested it but I still wouldn't call it functional. It's still barely working and has been in development for a while.

Multiplayer for Bethesda Game Studios developed video games will also be bad for the PC gamers because it can limit modding capabilities.



Such as introducing a ANTI-CHEAT system to ban hackers like aimbotters and wallhackers and many of the mods that exist that do stuff with .dll's or .exes can get you banned.



All those third party utility tools we use that let us do more crazy mods for Bethesda Game Studios and end up getting banned from the multiplayer because of them what would be the point of even having multiplayer then?
