I don’t have a particularly large stake in this as I am increasingly on the “wouldn’t it be crazy if I replayed Morrowind again” train but going by (obligatory: Fuck fandom)
Looks like a somewhat decent amount of scripting and placement changes that would definitely cause merge conflict level issues with mods. Like, I assume tools have gotten a LOT better but I still remember the days of “please for the love of christ stop putting things in Balmora” because of the endless conflicts. And enough code changes that it would break the script extender.
You can make the argument that you actively don’t want those fixes but… considering the shitshow that the “unofficial patches” have become, being able to play more “vanilla” holds a lot of appeal to people.
Don’t get me wrong. I do think Bethesda should reach out to modders more (although, considering the aforementioned Unofficial Patch debacles, maybe not…). But it just seemed insane that people were losing their minds and angry that Bethesda would DARE to patch their game when Fallout London was going to release or whatever. Like… what?
