Drifter posted:Can somebody tweet Bioware or whatever and ask them what the heck kind of posable mannequin they were masturbating to when they made those walk/run animations? Haha wow I thought people were exaggerating but after watching that twitch stream, holy poo poo! Those are loving godawful, not even just the walk, the whole thing model looks like it was knocked together for a porno game. The part where they're standing next to Cassandra who seems to be animated in the exact same way was pretty amusing too, shades of DA2.

Is waiting for a mod that swaps the female walk animation for the male version plausible with this game engine?

Cythereal posted:Is waiting for a mod that swaps the female walk animation for the male version plausible with this game engine? No, textures and animations are the least likely to be modded/moddable things. Frostbite is all about high fidelity at high speeds, so things like that are cleverly compressed and managed by the engine. In order to support adding your own textures or animation in after the fact, a portion of the engine would need to be 'open' and EA/DICE don't want that yet. edit: Please complain to bioware for real if you want change here as you will not be getting it through mods this time around

I thought they said there'd be no mod support, unlike the previous games. EDIT: Yeah, doing a quick search, no toolset release planned + frostbite engine being hard or impossible to mod, seems to be the current case. Penakoto fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Oct 21, 2014 |

Cythereal posted:Bioware, change their habit of occasionally being very weird and creepy about women? Sisyphus isn't that stupid. Hey, it's still the path of least resistance as on the other hand you're up against EA/DICE and/or hoping for the community to somehow figure out what it has been unable to do over the last year of trying/giving up on trying with frostbite 3. Battlefield 4 players are to the point where they've settled for 'pretending' the textures are different to match whatever their custom server rules are. It's the best they can do. A. Beaverhausen posted:"Planned" is the key word. You never really know if that means never or months down the line. Whichever bioware dev (Laidlaw?) chimed in on not having anything 'planned' was being a weasel by not explaining the actual situation, which is to say they were never in a position to plan anything anyway. This isn't like DA:O or DA2, which used bioware engines they could choose to release a kit for themselves. DA:I uses an EA/DICE (EA) owned engine that DICE (EA) has specifically said they will not be opening up with a toolkit.

It is not going to happen, they're using Frostbite and the creators (Dice) won't even ship an SDK for their flagship title Battlefield anymore. Ignore the PR speak and just forget about it, EA doesn't want anyone making mods for their games, they want people buying DLC they create. I think it's a shame though, lots of great mods for the first few games.

Yeah it's pretty crap. Hell, Bethesda has managed enormous success thanks in no small part to the fact that you can do whatever the poo poo you want to their games (on PC) and they give out the tools for free. Literally anybody who wants them can have them.

The people who would mod for inquisition don't have enough hacking chops. Just being able to animate a my little pony mount or retexture a chair into a dildo throne are not skills that translate into breaking DICE's engine.

But yeah, a company can't survive if they're not constantly planning and working on followup materials, at least one that large. Those writers and designers and whatnot have to be doing something while the programmers and animators and junk get their crack at the game.

Literally anybody who wants them can have them. Yeah, I don't get how the entire rest of the industry doesn't immediately see what a tremendous value add a fully featured mod kit would be for basically every open world game and follow suit. I get that it's time consuming and expensive, but in return you get to say that your game isn't just a game anymore, but a fully realized sandbox universe you can do anything in and completely make your own. You know, that one thing that ultimately separates video games from every other entertainment medium. I mean I personally wouldn't even think twice about Elder Scrolls games if you couldn't mod them to the brim and back.

It's probably impossible to say for sure, but how many people who bought Skyrim for the PC do you really think had absolutely zero interest in installing mods? I also think that people associate Elder Scrolls and modding extremely closely. I cannot imagine the reaction Bethesda would get from the PC crowd if they were to announce that TES 6 will not include modding capabilities.
