Respectfully, I understand why some of you make the suggestions for mods to be made and they are fair suggestions, but what about the players on console that might have the same problems? Unfortunately, mods won't help them.
And in case anyone misunderstands me, I'm not complaining in any way. I'm just trying to remind folks that, unless I'm mistaken, mods only help PC players.
Although true, there are some requests that aren't very likely to ever make it into the game, so suggesting mods in case they are on PC (or for anyone else reading this with a similar request who is on PC) is worth doing. Roland also phrased it as a backup... request it here, but also request it as a mod.
I get that console players get the raw end of the deal when it comes to mods since they rarely can use them, but that's unfortunately a fact of life for console players. If they care enough about being able to use all the extra things that mods provide, they can look into a PC for specific games that they would like to use mods for and can still use console for everything else. The complaint about cost has mostly become moot as console prices keep increasing and people tend to keep buying the newer consoles, which means spending even more money, and because you can get a decent PC for not much more money than modern consoles. My desktop computer, which I got around 7 years ago, was only a low to mid level gaming PC yet is still able to play most games I play, including this, on High or Ultra settings. I don't play many FPS games, which is where the PC would falter at those graphics settings, but even so, my computer could handle what consoles can handle for graphics even on those FPS games. And I paid about $700 altogether for it. So you can definitely get a PC for not that much more than a modern console and have far more flexibility. As far as people who don't want the "hassle" of dealing with file management (someone mentioned that) or Windows or whether or not a game is compatible.... those really aren't big problems anymore. Those were a greater issue in the 90s, but these days, those aren't really an issue anymore. Other than adjusting graphics, most games will play on most computers that aren't too old. There are exceptions, such as a game that requires ray tracing capability and won't work without it, but those aren't common. File management, especially with Steam is very minimal if you don't want to deal with it, and Windows isn't hard to use. Besides, most people born in the 90s or later probably know how to use Windows very well even if they prefer consoles, with many born before that also being comfortable with Windows. In the end, I think a lot of people just prefer console as a preference than for any tangible reason. PC can use console controllers, so controllers aren't an issue. About the only real difference is that you can have multiple people play side by side on the same console, which normally isn't an option on a single PC. Of course, this game doesn't allow that, so that isn't an issue with this game.
