That's some valid business model here.
"creation kit allows them to store up to 4000 record. The DLC Automatron was 50,000 records. That means it is literally impossible for anything good to come out of Creation Club."
Now this I don't understand.
Modders should at least get a %. But still, they'll receive money for a thing they did not make money off of so far. Maybe even get experience working with professional Bethesda developers. So unless creative freedom restrictions are too rigid, it's still better for em.
I edited that bit about records, but just to add an "s" to record. Anyway....they are basically severely limited in what they can produce because the storage system is not big enough. They could not create something as small as Automatron, much less new lands and quests.
Not even big mods at all. There will never be a DLC-like mod come out of creation club unless they do something severe.
For perspective, horse power armor is like 300 records. So nothing can have more "information" than 13 horse armors.
Well, now we all know why they were so vague about the Creation Club at E3. As hard as it is to believe, it's actually WORSE than the paid-mods on Steam scam! At least there were tons of mods, you could buy them individually, and there were some good ones. But no...it looks like Bethesda is incapable of learning anything and just love to demonstrate over and over again that they hate their fans.
Personally I'm burned out. I haven't even loaded up Skyrim in a week, and I've long since uninstalled Fallout 4. Just thinking about continuing to support these baffoons by creating content based around their games makes me ill.
I still have hopes that they will produce the best open world RPGs in the future. They are dabbling in how to make even more money and they are screwing up badly at every turn. Hopefully money grabbing does not hurt the single player games of the future that we all loved in the past.
Me, I love the games regardless of how inept it's creators are. Been thinking of making my own let's plays and build vids. If you're willing, perhaps you could throw some pointers my way?
There are a LOT of Skyrim let's plays, so it's hard to stand out from the crowd. But build videos are still incredibly popular. You just have to pick something to focus on and run with it. For FudgeMuppet it's elaborate backstories. For HX it's obscure lore-inspired builds. Myself I've been focused on builds that make use of the Ordinator perk mod.
Besides that just make your videos look and sound as good as you can and make sure your build looks interesting and exciting to play!
