If they implement custom armour as a game feature like the OP suggested then it's not modding at all. What he's asking is for the game to let him simply choose the colours and symbols on his armour like you might choose for your clothes in a game like The Sims. That would just be another feature of the unmodded game.

As for running mods on consoles, it's clearly possible or DLC wouldn't work. The problem is the range of mods that can work well is limited (something like Deadly Reflex would be a non-starter) and thus they have another reason to prohibit them (aside from companies like MS not being open to the idea).

Anyway, my original point was I don't like the feature much. If Bethesda was going to add enough extra content to the game to let players customize their armour it would be nicer to be able to find the different armour combinations in the game.

Also: I play on PC and have built mods for games. I'm quite familiar with how it works.

Gizmo's idea is neat, even if it's never going to happen.

Step 1: Sell your console (it's bad)
Step 2: Build your own pc (youtube how to)
Step 3: Buy Skyrim (for pc this time)
Step 4: Download mods (it's easy)
Step 5: Make threads about how much consoles svck.

This is the reason why I only play games on PC. Some of the mods I am running have made the game so much more fun for me. My favorite mod is the Atlantean and Father sword mod. I can't play without these 2 swords, they are beyond epic.

I don't see how what he said could be considered bashing. He just pointed out reality. When it comes to Skyrim the consoles are an inferior platform. Everyone knew that going in and they still chose to buy Skyrim lite instead of the full version, so we shouldn't have to hear about them wanting mods everyday. I bought Oblivion lite before I bought the full game also. It really svcks being stucked to playing the games vanila and I hated it knowing about all the cool stuff I was missing out on. But I never once came to the forums and complained about my poor decision. Because at the end of the day no one forced me to buy Oblivion lite. I did it to myself. Instead of crying about it I saved up money and built a gaming PC. I ended up selling my 360 and all of it's games (including Oblivion lite) to get the money for a top of the line gaming keyboard, mouse and noise cancelling headphones. Never once regretted that decison.

They already did that. It's called Skyrim. A huge number of features, from food to crafting to marriage, were mods made for the last two games. Beth lifted a huge amount of content right out of the modding community and shamelessly integrated it into Skyrim... yet, many of those mods were better implemented and more polished.

I don't get why you console players constantly grouse about mods. You bought a console because you like everything to be ready right out of the box. You don't want to mess with drivers or .ini files, then later you get jealous when you see how much better we PC users have it. Have you seen the changelog for the 1.4 patch? Beth fully intends to leave hundreds of broken quests and features and call the patch final. You console guys are SOL. We PC gamers will have 99% of our problems resolved within a month of the CK release.

Do not talk about illegal console modding on here, they will lock the thread in a heartbeat.

That's a very cool idea thanks for sharing

Who would have thought this would turn into a Platform War?

Now I have to go through the thread and Warn all the people who posted Platform War Comments........
