Bethesda would really, REALLY love to cash in on lootboxes, DRM and microtransactions.

But to do so would require them to actually redo how their engine works, which would take a lot of work.
Everyone being able to copy+paste their DLC and give themselves whatever items they want is just the toll they pay.
They're literally too lazy to be as scummy as they want to be.

even the current games can probably get them through creation club
Making lootboxes in Fallout 4 and Skyrim would be easy as fuck for a modder

Console commands are used for mods.
So to disable them, you are going to have to change the way mods are distributed, and have some insider development kit you only give to your own loyal m.... oh. Oh.

why would u need it when u have console commands

well the consoles dont have console commands

but I was also just thinking about the concept of lootboxes as a mod or something like a nuka vending machine you put caps in and get a random item out of it and can increase your chances for better shit with more caps

They already have loot boxes. Although you need a mod for them to be really exciting.

They can add lootboxes anyways. Casuals are too stupid to use console commands to spawn items, and console peasants are shit out of luck.
Even if they do nothing to block console commands, idiots will still buy it. Especially if it's "immersive" and doesn't feel like "cheating".

>Future Bethesda games don't have console so they can add lootboxes
>Future Bethesda games don't have mods so they can keep doing creation club

Calling it now. $100 down.

>implying people need or care about bethesda's consent to mods
>implying any lootbox system they implement wont be easy as fuck to circumvent for free

I might be worried if they were in any way competent devs.

lootboxes are just one of the visible symptoms of microtransactions, or "games as a service"
creation club is their attempt at microtransactions, and if it's successful then they won't need to try anything else
remember: as much as people cry about paid mods and creation club, it can always get much, much worse

>paid mods that add lootboxes
Dear god please no.

>lootboxes that add random mods they can't be added any other way

Pls dick girl mod

They don't need consent, but without the modding tools there won't be any mods in the future.

Well then their creation club would go away too. They can't keep that alive and wipe out free modding at the same time.

What are they even doing with that? Those 100 free club bucks they gave out can't buy anything but a pip boy re-skin. Which is already a free mod... and a unpopular one.

I thought when they promised top quality professional mods that you could pay for, they meant new quests locations, you know the hard to code, time consuming mods... not re-colours which anyone can learn to do in 12 minutes on youtube.

no, but you can fully expect the console to be completely disabled or severely crippled as well as more and more engine changes making extensive modding a thing of the past. mark my words, we will never see modding on the level of skyrim (original first release) ever again.

fpbp

>Bethesda tries to implement a system where you can pay real money to get ingame money
>they forget to disable the console commands so people can just get money for free using console commands
>when they try to patch it out people just make mods that enable it

>TES 6 is announced along with a brand new engine built from scratch with nothing reused from GameBryo/CreationEngine
>Massive hype 'cause it looks pretty good and hey no 20 year old engine derivative
>New engine is completely unmoddable and game files are packed in an in-house archive format that can't be opened without 1st party dev tools that never get released
>plz buy our free mods from the Creation Club website ;^)
>Still sells a gorillion copies and wins multiple GOTY awards

>still have to download a mod to rotate the camera clockwise

this

That wouldn't be the worst thing since you'll have more caps than you can spend at some point.

paid mods is their holy grail and they're going to keep gradually forcing it now matter how hard fallout gets review bombed. like user said above the console and creation kit will be further and further crippled, eventually where all you can do palette swaps, make weapons/armor, and that will be that. extensive things like survival mods will be paid like they're already doing a trial run for skyrim se survival by making it free for a limited time then it goes paid. reminder that this survival mode is so god damn lazy they copied over fallout 4 radiation reducing max health over to skyrim but the freezing cold replaces radiation. you can't make this shit up.

>someone releases leaks the source code in a week and makes it easily moddable
The only way to make it completely unmoddable would be denuvo, but it would only affect actual consumers

name one game where this happened

They've got Quake Champions for their lootbox money needs anyhow.

holy shit, /thread

implying they will even be in business when TES6 rolls out

>most good mods require the script extender
>consoles can't modify the game code to accomodate the script extender
>stuck with recolours and other boring shit

IF ONLY SOMEONE HAD SEEN THIS COMING

What item does that command add?

>What item doesN'T the command add

> anything you want even modded items

>lootboxes
Nah, Bethesda is going to ruin itself by doing this, they are going against the same group of people who have kept their games alive for years

That's fucking hilarious. God bethesda is inept

When you put it that way, Todd isn't really that bad huh?

Yes, because at the end of the day, even with their half assed Creation Club, the modding community is the heart and soul of their longterm sales.
Bethesda cannot lock their games and survive.

I was curious too and thought caps, but it's bobby pins.

fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_4_miscellaneous_items

Caps are 0000000f, so replace 'a' with 'f'. Leading zeroes can be ignored

But we at Bethesda would never try to cheat our fans with such trivial systems.

Now by my games
