Cool! I think your intended experience can fuck off if there's something about it I don't enjoy.

I haven't played this game yet so I don't know if this is the case, but my free time is precious and if I bought the game its my choice how to enjoy it.

Thank the maker for mods!

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 14 points 1 week ago

Exactly.

Just like any art, once you put it out there it's not up to you how people use it.

[–] Hominy_Hank@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago

Any mod that changes an NPC into Thomas the tank engine does not detract from the intended game experience.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 35 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Don't use mods you don't like. It's quite the Shocker, I know.

Also don't shit on other people for using mods you don't like. Whether it's the "intended experience" or not.

If I want to drive through Red Dead Redemption 2 in a lifted Nissan altima rocking light strips, spinners, and a massive spoiler, I shouldn't have to deal with a thousand nerds telling me it's not historically accurate or it "ruins the game"

(note: if someone knows of a car mod for rdr2 I'd actually like to use a car for the lols)

If someone wants to play skyrim with their massive dong hanging out of their chainmail bikini, while dual welding the keyblade and master sword to fight Gnasty Gnork then let them do that in peace.

[–] stray@pawb.social 5 points 1 week ago

I've never been interested in RDR2 because I'm not into the western aesthetic, but I am absolutely into the aesthetic of being a time traveler or alien or wizard using my powers to help farmers and explode bad guys in an otherwise western setting. If I had any money, I would pay someone to make this.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Moped in RDR2 sound good too.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

+1 for the Gnasty Gnork namedrop! Lol

[–] digredior@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is… is there a mod for Skyrim like that?

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't think that's the set of mods they were inquiring about.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

i'm gonna be real i didn't even see the last sentence because as soon as i see an open parenthesis in a post i just stop reading

Bitch it’s a single player game.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Exactly, absolutely not a single thing wrong with someone modding a distinct lack of clothes on all the characters!

Once the game leaves the Devs and goes out into the world, they have no rights to dictate what people who have paid for a player license do with the files on their computer....

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is the hyper-restricted camera movement in "photo mode" part of the intended game experience? Cuz it's clear with mods that there's no technical reason for it.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought that was pretty weird. The camera pan range should be double to triple what they are.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

Agreed.

Thankfully there are options on PC, either debug camera (requires free mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy7rebirth/mods/4?tab=posts) or unreal 4 unlocker (locked behind otis_inf's patreon)

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

it's a game in which time ghosts bully a guy who has a gun for a hand trying to stop a company vacuuming souls out the ground and burning them for fuel, or injecting them into super soliders and clones who can be mind controlled by an angry twink who can think a meteor into the planet using crystals also made from souls.

Love it though I do, it's a ridiculous premise.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

I intended it by using the mod, so all good.

[–] darthsid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

He needs to shut the fuck up

i know that shitting on bethesda is en vogue (and for good reason) but you know what: if i want to slaughter thomas the flying tank engine in skyrim for WHAT HE DID to our atmosphere, todd just lets me. because he is cool like that
