How long until they make a Starfield multiplayer mod?

[Kai]

Given how this game is basically a series of multiple instances, offworld stuff don't happen when the player isn't there. So it's feasibly possible for it to use a system similar to Valheim, where the first player on the planet becomes the temporary host for the other players to sync up when they 'enter' after.

"Starfield Together".

Lol.

Unless Bethesda trying to beat them to the punch by making "Starfield 67".

Late 2024. There was a group already about to work on making it multiplayer. They decided to delay creation kit by a year.

They were just being an idiot. I do think that the NexusMODS controversy might have delayed the creation kit. Prior to all this, it was suppose to come out next week. They might be restricting it a bit to prevent removing pronouns or adjusting the menus.

That's odd, the only thing I heard is that the Creation Kit usually doesn't release right when the game does, and that this is pretty standard Bethesda.

This might be the right article. Multiple sources/interviews showed they planned to release it this year, but have decided to hold off now. I think November was the actual month mentioned prior.

Zenimax can DMCA it if they wished. I heard if a Skyrim Multiplayer mod, but I don't think it ever released.

It's getting tricker with mods and multiplayer options due to the far right trolls doing the racist and anti pronoun mods. They might block multiplayer due to no moderation of such a setup. Not sure.

Can doesn't mean they will, the Skyrim multiplayer mod did release and I haven't heard of any DMCA'ing happening there.

They can also try to outright ban modding, never release a creation kit, sue Nexus Mods for hosting Starfield mods (they have the money for it), but they don't, so not sure why they would go after a multiplayer mod.

Harassment and threats to inclusivity is a bigger deal for them, than video game hackers and real malicious threats to people across the internet? We have foreign state actors and their army of hackers for example, or organized trolling groups with the purpose of using old youtube videos to 'train' trolls how to comment and such while their boss reads it.

Anyways, a 'mod' isn't a threat or a issue, it's the context of what legal teams or PR sees, and they are given a lot of freedom to go around screwing people over minor things... Like Nintendo's lawyers.

it doesn't make you a far right troll to modify a game that you own how you see fit, kinda facist that you want to control how people play their game.

Very curious about what makes you think that. I don't quite see how Bethesda makes a bigger deal out of inclusivity compared to hackers. Most of their games arent even multiplayer.

Zenimax is Bethesda's parent corporation, they can operate with different intents and Bethesda has to obey. Last I check Todd Howard isn't on the board of director for Zenimax.

This doesn't answer my question. Again, what has happened that makes you think they care more about inclusivity than hackers, when they focus primarily on games where hackers aren't even a factor?

....is that even possible? I mean the game shouldn't really have places to recieve data from other players without a multiplayer mode to start with. This isn't like System Shock 2 where the code was in an update, but was turned off cause it wasn't stable.... is it?

[Nuee]

Probably never, the mechanics of the engine wont support it likely. If they could they already would have for Skyrim and FO4.
