Better than cheats might be an actual call modders to submit their mods to a contest and let the fans pick the top ten (console friendly) mods. The winning modders get :shrug: something... and the Console players get an official new DLC.
Now there is more to this than just that of course... I don't know about content releases, but I'd assume there is a hefty fee involved, and some Q&A... but if that could be worked out to be worth doing, console players could have the top ten PC mods (excluding FOOK & FOSE). Not too long ago I remember that Bungie released a three disc bundle of their game Myth, Myth 2, and a disc of the top fan favorite mods as a commercial product called "The Total Codex"; So this has been somewhat done before by other companies.
+1 I like this idea too, nice one! :goodjob:
I also don't see any reason why console users can't have console (or a limited version of it). It would be the same as putting formal cheats into the game, which at least would be Something for them as compared to modders on the PC. It could allow things like loading objects, teleporting, god mode, setting essential flags, etc - all the stuff they would need to cheat. It would also allow console users to overcome some of the bugs, as with Fo3 and MotherShip Zeta - a PC user didn't need to be stuck behind any door, we can go right through them. Its not Just cheats, and would make alot of peeps happy.
Either way, I see real benefits to adding user-created mods if they are good enough - free material for the publishers! Then again, maybe we just svck too-much to be considered seriously.
