| For one thing i hope this thread doesnt come to resemble those on the official forums...
I have to say i am quite annoyed myself, 2$ for horse armor is perplexing, if i didn't know better i'd say they were bankrupt or something and this was a cry for help, not to mention a very delicate precedent (especially since chances are it's gonna be a success)...but...given the fact that all these plugins are optional and marginal (story/gameplay wise) i can't help noticing the good side, a fair chunk of the developers is going to stay actively involved in modding.
I certainly will not buy the horse armor, the Orrery seems interesting and i can say that i will pay 2 bucks for the tower. Professional mods that do not conflict and that i hope will become quite interesting further down the line is all in all a good thing.
The only downside would be if they should decide to kill off the competition by not releasing an exporter, but i don't see that happening, it would make a way too brutal statement and they certainly could not afford it.
All in all great mods from the community and optional 2 $ mods from the developers themselves, not my idea of the perfect deal but given the need for plugins on the console and Bethesda's inability of giving them free (after all Microsoft takes a share of everithing) i find it to be quite equitable.  |
