Pete Hines: There's a lot more coming and when you start to think about the kind of community that comes around Bethesda Game Studios games and putting a tool like that in the hands of people that go, "how would you like to make a planet?" Like, all of that is going to just be off the charts. When you start getting your community come in and add all the different things that they want to bring to it. Their own stories they want to tell.

Starfield Mods Will Allow for New Planets, Quests and Stories to Be Added Confirmed

Mods were assumed when talking about PC. Let's hope the game is good first. Community on PC will always do it's thing, news at 11.

Obviously mods were always going to be a thing, but I've never seen a dev actively promote this level of community content. Exciting stuff, imo.

I am personally hoping that someone mods in the ability to fly down to a planet opposed to a cut scene.

With Bethesda mod tools, you can theoretically convert Starfield into a Star trek or Star Wars game.

They did the same with Workshop.

I never second guessed it but to say it out loud is nice, I suppose. I'm on the fence on the game until I see more but I won't be Gamepassing this game. I'll either buy it on Steam or not.

On a side note, imagine we get an Enderal like piece with this newer engine?

So it's the game of forever. That's all they had to say. With mods, this game is the game of forever.

 

[adamsapple]

People will be adding Tamriel / Boston Wasteland planets within days.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Good now modders can fix Bethesda's awful writing.

 

[analog_future]

This is quickly looking like it could become the elusive "forever game".

 

[FoxMcChief]

Enter mod for Armageddon quest line!

 

[Sanepar]

That's why Steam is the way!

Maybe Starblivion?

 

[Evil Calvin]

Will they be available on the console version?

You're thinking too small.

This and "SkyUI" should be priorities.

Can't MS store version be modded as it's not UWP anymore?

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Nice, cant wait for the tools to work on mods. Just hope its not 6 months later like they have done with FO4 and Skyrim....

 

[adamsapple]

Will they be available on the console version?

They haven't said one way or the other, FO4 and Skyrim do, so this might.

I'm not sure if that is possible with the current planets because they do not exist. The loading screen loads a completely different instance. Maybe mod makers can create planets you can land on, but i'm not see that happening with their tech.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

People will try to recreate Cyrodiil on some planet for sure.

 

[Killer8]

Can't wait for the zero-g NSFW mods.

One small step for man, one giant goon for mankind.

 

[Kilau]

Skyrim and the fallouts on windows store support mods just not ones with script extenders.

 

[Red5]

Will they be available on the console version?

Probably but more limited than PC. For example, the best mods for Skyrim rely on a tool mod (SKSE) that basically replaces the .exe of the game which you can't do on consoles unless it's hacked. So on consoles you have to rely on the approved mods only which is still good.
