Is a construction set going to be released for Skyrim? Will mods work the same way as it did for OB, FO3, FNV? As in being able to load loose files, or is the new engine going to dictate the use of a database?
it will be bigger than a bread box, or smaller, maybe both at the same time, or not they haven't told us anything, we got the announcement then GI and thats it I really doubt it wouldn't exist though, I mean the developers use it, they just have a better version
The engine is designed in-house, so the construction set will be as well.
Theoretically, that could give them more ability to make features available to the modder, but I suspect there will still be licensed elements that restrict certain things.
I'd love it if the engine was built with modding in mind....especially with more room for diversity built right in.
I'm pretty sure we caught a glimpse of the UI for what Todd called the "Creation Kit" in the behind the scenes video. It looked somewhat similar to the Construction Set UI, although it was blurry.
The level designer in the cubicle was working on this.
