For me a good amount of the appeal of Bethesda games is seeing what goofy poo poo is going to happen like walking into a room and dying because your head brushed against a chandelier which bounced off and rebounded into you at the speed of sound.

this time it will be different!!!!

because they'll have complete control of the mod distribution system and since the mod tools won't be out until quite a while after launch it'll be paid mods or nothing

the best thing about bethesda games is the thousands of trash items with no purpose but to gently caress up and start noisily vibrating when they clip into the floor and then cause that cell to crash and corrupt your save

this happens because coordinates at runtime in the editor or the game engine are higher resolution than coordinates stored on disk in order to save space and reduce load times. exporting a level from the editor or saving your game (they use the same format, afaik) discards the low-order bits of everything which teleports them slightly at load time. and since you can rotate objects arbitrarily in three dimensions before setting them down, positioning all surfaces at multiples of the lower resolution won't help because the object can't have a "bottom" that is placed on the surface.

I'm betting the FO4 mod scene will be stillborn, choked with an endless supply of garbage overpriced cash-grabs that nobody will sort through to find anything that may be good

well a solution is to give each model a defined best guess orientation with a simple spherical com mesh and have a check that sees if any object in the cell with physics somehow has its com lower than the lowest local floor plane and if so disable clipping, move object an arbitrary distance above the floor and orient it into best guess and then enable clipping

of course this would have cool consequences like a stack of books where one bok slipped into a shelf and would suddenly rotate 90 degrees and cause everything else on the shelf to explode into the room killing anything in their path
