PC UI Addons for Consoles

MaxwellC · July 2015

I know some PC players and some console players know about the mods users make on PC that display how much damage you do, your ultimate's charge rating, how much exp you receive, the list goes on. I was wondering if it were possible to introduce some of the popular mods that are checked by ZOS to the consoles market place, for free of course.

I really hate not knowing how much exp I have till I level up or even how much damage I take. I think this would be a great edition seeing that everyone can benefit from this.

Any thoughts regarding this topic?

Is it possible? Certainly
Is it even remotely likely anytime soon? No

Yeah I can only hope

That would be nice but I doubt it since they did not add a simple feature as text chat. Mini map, lorebooks, and skyshars addons would have been great as well.

Anything player-created would have to be thoroughly screened by Zenimax, and then again by Sony and Microsoft, so I don't think we'll be seeing add-ons like that on console. What is more likely (but still not very likely) is that ZOS will begin to add some of these features into the default UI. For example, it seems more likely that we may see buff trackers coming to the UI in the future, as ZOS are releasing the buff tracker API functions for add-on developers on PC. If they're allowing it for PC, it's reasonable to assume that they are planning on working with them directly themselves as well.

Addons are just duct tape, PC or Console

The features should be in the game to be turned off/on player's discretion

Yes, it is a PC benefit the ability to use addons. However, we are still at the mercy of addon developers to continue making them/updating them/ repairing them every update they break. So no, console doesn't need the ability to use addons, as much as the game itself (both versions) needs some standard *options* for the players to decide to use or not.

If they can't bring addons then it would be nice if ZOS would make a feature that could give us more detail. I want to know how much hp is in my bar especially when I take damage so I can calculate what I should do.

It's a good hope, just not one I see coming true, given it would have a double screaming process

Surely you realize by now that Zenimax doesn't believe console players deserve options of any kind .
