My opinion about what BioWare think of mods in general is expressed in the seventh. My opinion about what will happen with mods for DA:I is expressed in the second post to this topic. The admiration for various modders' works that I've seen expressed by the developers I know has been effusive! But that's a whole 'nother issue.īut 'jealousy' isn't a factor. I can't really follow the rest of your third point, but if it's that basically 'Game developers stay away from officially supporting and/or incorporating 'community-developed content' (aka 'mods') because they don't want the hassles of figuring out who actually has the rights to what', then I agree with you. )Ĭ) Neither BioWare nor EA have ever charged for a toolset. Want to put that Tallis armour from DA2-MotA into a mod for DAA? Go ahead! Pro Tip: It'll be tough. (As a side issue, BioWare have granted modders permission to use their assets from the DA-series for mods for any of the games in the series. While the data are hard to quantify, what little exist point to increasing both base-game and DLC sales by increasing the popularity and longevity of individual titles. BioWare have repeatedly said that they are not opposed, but they simply aren't going to devote any of their resources to the effort.ī) There is absolutely zero evidence that mods detract from DLC sales. That would be DICE, (also a division of EA) the developers of the FrostBite game engine. Back to have been in contact with senior BioWare staff for several years now and I think every single assertion in your post is mistaken.Ī) BioWare would not be the ones developing the Toolset.Used mods someone else made and took full credit for it. It is just a huge war between mods and the developers because they will see a nice mod someone made and want to use it I have talked to a few gaming company's about itĪnd they said the reason they wont touch them is because they cannot license them because they did not make it to begin with now think about that and then look at some games who Multi-player is to stop people from modding their games they are jelly of modders because they cant believe half the stuff you all create Its a shame but this is how gaming companies are going the main reason all these singleplayer games are going if they do release a toolkit more likely they will put a price on it as high as their game original price was the only reason they don't want mods to be allowed isģ. A: if they don't make one i can see the big time modders creating a patch for the entire game creating a toolkit to make it easier for others and themselves to modĢ. Bioware may or may not create one that is correct? Here is what I'm going to say about the no toolkit thingġ.
