I've spent countless hours playing DAI, definitely getting my money's worth out of it and the DLC I've purchased, but today that ends.  I'm sure this post/thread will be deleted and may even get me banned from this forum, but so be it.  I'm also sure all of you have heard this rant before, but I'm a normally patient person whose tolerance has reached its limit.

 

I will never understand why a company would create a game and then basically declare war on the people who are arguably the game's most enthusiastic fans, the modders.  Every patch requires a complete re-working of the modding system, and while I'll be the first to admit I don't know jack about modding/coding, I find it impossible to believe that this is an accident.  I'm not going to waste a lot of time defending or explaining modders and what they do, I think it's pretty obvious that they just want to enjoy the game in a slightly different way than others, and to share that different way with other players who may feel the same.

 

I was literally taking my debit card out of my wallet to purchase Descent today when I realized that the work-around I'd spent the past 24 hours on to use a few of my favorite mods (with patch 8, which I reverted to) was causing my game to crash.  After a little time spent trying to work around this new obstacle, I've given up.  I don't know if EA or Bioware is responsible, but I'll check back in 6 months or so and see if the responsible party has finally decided to give up the crusade because modding is not The Devil.  Until then I'm going to enjoy Diablo 3, X-Com Enemy Unknown, and a few other games I've purchased recently, and I'm going to sorely miss DAI.

Hello,

I have commented on this kind of thing before, and as I have said we are not actively breaking mods. We have always said mods are not supported, but we are certainly not testing to see if we break them.

Even skyrim mods (what people consider more or less the pinnacle of modding) had mods break with nearly every patch, it wasn't until the Patching stopped that it became modding heaven.

The mod system that fans have come up with is based on taking the patch that we deploy and adding things to it. So if the base changes of course things are going to break.

Once I am off my lunch and if people want I'll try and find where I go more in depth on this matter.
