this game has a lot of potential, but only if the dev allow to create mods.
I mean this game is 8 years old, and only 5 or 6 hairstyles same for sexual positions.
Same for savegames, i have to play almost an hour or 2 using cheats to get the game in the same point it used to be before the update.
...y'all know this game has mods, right? Multiple that were made pre-0.760 and still work on current versionsYou do know that any such mod would probably have to be updated with every new build to stay functional, given how the dev even flags save files from older versions to not function on new ones, right?
Or likewise, that any such mods would also need to be patched backwards for every older version of the game, for those who wanna stick with tried and tested builds that work for them?
And given all that, what mod author in their right mind do you think is gonna put up with how dev handles game updates? It doesn't even have a clear roadmap, after 8! years of developmentAny self-respecting mod author will move on to other, more promising games -that may actually see the light of day, unlike BotN- after 2, maybe 3 build versions at the most, and potentially good mods will likely be left abandoned.
But that's a non-issue anyway. Iffen you read a few more pages on this thread, you'd have learned that the dev is rather "protective" of his stuff, to put it politely. So ain't bloody likely there'll be any dev-side effort to "share the secret sauce" to support third-party modding for BotN anytime soon - if ever.
And while you can't mod it, you can freely access cheats and customize ALL generic, not story-related NPCs to your heart's content - actually a lot more than lots of so-called "AAA"-titles allow in that regard. Got about 3 dozen own custom variants now and still lotsa neph species untouched, but even at this half-done stage many spawing grounds look nothing like vanilla anymore.
Just takes lotsa time & nerve to go through ALL presets and purge/change whatever you don't like and make it appealing, but you can make this game bend to your fancy. Iffen you spend some hours in the variant editor before you dive into it for real, that is.
Cuz it don't sound like y'all do *shrug*
