The reason to mod.

**N3rull** · January 22, 2008, 12:58 PM

This is not a technical question nor any direct suggestion, so I didn't put it into Modding forums.

The question is:

If you already participate in some modding project, what made you start modding the game in the first place?

If you haven't yet tried it, imagine you had time and knowledge to do so. What would be the most likely reason to begin modding M2:TW?

PS. The reason for this poll is curiosity. Creative Assembly relates to the modding community as their "lead customers, people who don't only lay claims, but want to be a part of the solution" (not a quote word to word, but it's the point of a part of an article found somewhere on creative-assembly.com).
I wanted to know what drives the modding community.

As for me, I think CA did some sloppy work, sold it to their "lead customers" and expects them to fix it themselves, for free. That's just my point of view, strongly modified by a year of constantly meeting new bugs and traces of lousy programming. And not seeing the developer to be *really* concerned about fixing them.

I think you'll liable to get a better response here, hence the move.

Hadn't even finished constructing the poll itself by the time it got moved, but okay, thank you.

edit. Absolutely no reason to be sorry. Respect, mate.

For me it's just the satisfaction you get out of it. I have more fun modding and seeing my changes in-game than actually playing it. It makes me feel more accomplished and makes the game funner at the same time knowing it's your own creation.

I prefer playing without mods...But i piss off because of the stupid AI

Where is the "For ***** and giggles?" option?

I'll make one just for You mate if I ever make another poll ;d.

im pretty new to modding games, but for me its a good way to test my skills as im a graphic designer, and coding, skining, and modeling is a great test of my skills, i myselft am still trying to get the hang of certain concepts such as skeletins, and mapping but its just like anything else if u keep at it u get it, plus i find it fun
