Random Gaming Thoughts

[Fragems]

I'd say it's well worth it. I only dabbled with them a bit a few years back and I was mostly messing with stuff like the Space Core companion mod and etc. that you wouldn't be interested in. However there is an insane amount of content out there and I'm sure you could find just about anything you want at this point. I think the new companions, quests, and dungeons warrant picking it up for the $20 or so it usually goes on sale for.

It entirely comes down to what you're looking for out of mods. I personally stay away from the ones that add content and focus on ones that are UI changes and some quality of life/balance improvements. Or mods that let you skip the intro sequence.

QoL is one of the most interesting bits to me. UI isn't a huge deal, I'll be playing with a controller no matter what, so the original is fine.

I once played Oblivion with a mod that adds stray cats to the cities. Another I enjoyed in Morrowind made Cliff Racers spawn less. There is probably a mod out there just to add brewing into Skyrim. You'll have to dig through modding websites to find out. Is TES Nexus still the go to?

Well this blows, apparently Telltale is shutting down.

Actually I'm pretty bummed about this. Say what one will about rather staid and unchanging game mechanics, Telltale has/had some of the best writers in the industry. Adding insult to injury, I'm seeing rumours today that they won't even be completing the final season of Walking Dead. I'm truly hoping it's only a rumour, but OTOH if they're in that sort of dire financial straits I guess it's hard to say.

I also agree that this stinks. Apparently, no one bought their games, and it doesn’t sound like the company was run particularly well. The end result, however, is that I will never get a second season of The Wolf Among Us.

Maybe someone with better business sense will buy their (aging) engine and pick up the torch...

My friend worked for them for a long time. In fact, he worked on the original Walking Dead game that won so many awards.

About a year or two ago, he was fired and he now works for Gearbox down in Texas.

But, when he was let go, he was telling me stories about how the company was run and it was completely mismanaged. The owner got this huge head after Walking Dead and he basically ran the company into the ground.

I'm a little surprised that they completely closed, but considering what he told me, I'm not totally shocked.

Seems like TT employees got completely rooked on severance too, what a bummer.

I really wish I had more space to set up my older stuff. I mostly just play my PS3, PC and Vita as everything else is packed up.
