I'm pretty damn hyped about developing a multiplayer game once private servers are a thing! Was definitely unhappy before that came to light though - I've experienced enough Day Z and Division to know what happens in a forced PVP multiplayer experience.
Having private servers with mods means we can reinvent all of the things we don't like about the game and play them only with friends or by ourselves!
Honestly, I was more worried about you, and how you Kinggath would perceive all the malarkey before and after the actual specifics of what Bethesda did or did not do. The apprehension of the unknown thing is more-often-than-not worse than the thing itself.
A quote I like:
“Where you stumble, there lies your treasure”

You have created a community in “hummm -18mos? +/-” from what? The innate desire one night to help and improve the fantasy lives of npc settlers inside of a game that was arguably broken or lacking outside of your own head? That seems in-and-of itself an archetype and potentially what has attracted so many folks to try out your creation; some, passionately adding to that creation or contributing in their own way.
One thing I have learned, a (“leader” or whatever “noun” that works for you as an individual”) who “inspires” you is nice and feels good while it lasts, but fleeting. The one who gives you insight – ha, something you can put in your rucksack and use another day and again and again. That one Good-Sir is Special. The implied metaphor here is in your creative work, “the insight” is a value intended or not, conscious or not that makes one think????... Could it be better???. A universal truth, mature or immature with a need to be acted on. Sometimes just glimpsed through a creative work of art. Could be a game, even a game-mod/(s], the medium is just what it is. Could be a rock?
Seems somehow you found an entire box of “You’re Special Magazines” inside yourself and shared them. Handing them out hand-over-fist. I don’t think that box is empty?
I think there are many others here who at some level share a primal value with you that sheds light on something special and specific within each of them.
I think there is going to be more “treasure” and the corresponding getting back up………That interest and curiosity causes the entire world and its potential to unfold quite wonderfully. I think that what you have made here will have a ripple…..and others will ripple with you in aspects you could never conceive or predict.
I for one am looking forward to seeing how all this unfolds. I think that there is something special here, that is worth my curiosity and I thank you for that!
