HUD options isnt here since I take it that the custom HUD movement and size will be implemented ingame already in original, as it is in most game (SWG, swtor and Conan has it).

No need for comments, just answer the questions.

But you can comment if you like

Nevermind.

Don't we have another thread on mods?

Modded UI still gives advantages the others dont have.

You need an "I voted Yes" option to question 2 and an "I voted No" option to question 3 since we are forced to put an answer in each question.

I will use addons.

I will use them to get rid of HUD elements (crosshair, compass, quest markers) and make the game harder.

Poll doesnt give very many options.


ESO wont have mods in the traditional sense like Skyrim and Oblvion have, but it has been stated that there will be HUD mods. Beyond that, it just isn't practical to allow any further user manipulation as things like texture mods could be abused to highlight things or make other things invisible. IE highlight enemies in PVP, or make objects like bushes invisible.


I may use HUD mods, depends on if I see any I like when the time comes, but otherwise I will probably stay with stock configurations as I rarely find issues with them in games.

We have but its not a good one since it has a "maybe". This is yes or NO and your motives.

made a correction of the poll options....added the 4th option

I voted no anyway, I won't need any addons unless they drastically change things around.

Didn't vote because there's no "I want to bot" option.

Credit where credit is due: this is a very objectively-worded poll, in my opinion. That's actually harder to accomplish than most people think (we ALL have an agenda, whether we admit to it, or not) so, Well done!

What frustrates me most about the arguments against mods are either:

1) Based on assumptions that are wrong -i.e. Mods doing what mods can't do, such as cheat. Essentially UI mods can take information that is already available in the UI, and present it in a different manner. That's pretty much it. They don't give you some super-secret info that no one else has.

or

2) Essentially blame the tools for the transgressions of the people that use them. eg., banning DPS meters will keep elitist jerks from kicking me out of their group because I'm not puling my weight, in their opinion. The problem with this argument of course, is that one, the DPS meter isn't at fault for the elitist jerk's behavior, and two, taking away the tool he is using to be a jerk isn't going to stop him from being a jerk. He'll just use something else- probably his estimate of how good or poor your DPS is, which is likely to be a lot less kind than cold, hard numbers.
