Console Version - Best AddOns to Patch in Release Version

Ajyn

There are many practical and cosmetic addons that help the overall experience. Some actually should be patched into the console version before release. Is there any word if Zeni is going to implement or allow some of those addons to be accessible for the console version?

Here are just a few to consider:

ZrMiniMap
Khajiit Speak
Craft Compare
Wykkyds Full Immersion

That's not up to ZOS, that's up to Sony and MS.

@sakiri is right, but its Never going to happen.

For the full reason:

Sony and Microsoft both have a policy of not allowing unscreened material on their networks.

All of the indie games and stuff on there have to be approved first. Addons require frequent updates because of patches changing things and the like. This is the same reason you don't find mods on consoles for other TES games.

By the time you get your addons submitted, screened and approved, you'd need to have it updated again.

It's easier for ZOS to push a patch to them, have them scan it, approve it and push it through XBL and PSN than it is for the guy that makes addons.

It's just not feasible with their polices.

Yes, you can get mods to work on Xbox in some of the TES games by loading your save file onto a thumb drive, taking it to the PC and modifying it that way, but has a chance to corrupt the save to the point of being unplayable. It's not recommended.

It also can't be done with a game like ESO that will be scanned on launch for alterations.

Microsoft owns Skype what is on the Xbox. you really think they would allow a compidtor software. nope

Thanks for the info. I hope they do patch some of them in before release.

They featured an Addon on the official ESO website (Wykyyd's Framework), so they know there is great benefit from some of them. If any of them are exemplary enough, and it makes the game better, why not include it as an option in the retail version that will be released?

There is still time before the console release to include a selected few.

As someone who has had Khajiit speak since it was first out there, I can't believe some people play without this mod.

The only problem I've found with this mod is that I think and read things in Khajiit speak - even when not playing eso >_> LOL yep addicted.





I have issues.

Yeah, something like Khajiit Speak seems integral to the immersion of the Elder Scrolls world. If you play a Khajiit, your responses in the dialogue responses should be in Khajiit Speak.
