Eurogamer has published a recent interview with Bethesda chief Todd Howard during which he’s asked about the possibilities of mods coming to Skyrim on the Nintendo Switch. He replied that they have no plans to introduce them. Mr. Howard also said that he was quite surprised at how many downloads Fallout Shelter received on the eShop. Read his full comments, below.
“Skyrim Switch has a big community that we haven’t supported the way we’d like.”
I followed this up with Todd Howard in an interview afterwards and asked what he meant. “They asked for mods,” he replied, “they asked for Creation Club – ‘When are we getting more stuff?'”
I asked what he was doing to rectify it. “Right now we’re doing nothing,” he said. “People, they’re on other things. Our Switch group did Fallout Shelter … and that’s done really well. I’m surprised at how well it’s done.”
Then I asked: “Will you bring mods to Skyrim on Switch?”
“We are not actively doing that,” he answered. “We would love to see it happen but it’s not something we’re actively doing.”
oh well, it’s not like Nintendo is into that anyway. besides Skyrim is still a great game without Mods.
although there is some really cool stuff there. AHWELL!
Mods can break the game
Oh well, I haven’t been playing it anyway. But it looks to me like I’ll be playing it on the PC if I do play it. There are a few mods I must have.
Glad i got it on switch and Xbox x. Mobile version and top performance version with mods.
Lazy devs shafting Nintendo again.
“Right now we’re doing nothing,”
The hell kind of response is that? That’s horrible PR.
I like the honesty. Screw PR talk
Agreed. PR talk is mostly just BS talk from a business standpoint.
Bring me… DOOM ETERNAL
So how do you see MODS on Switch it you’re doing nothing?
It’s pretty obvious why: Nintendo. Since Nintendo published the game for Switch & thus paid for the game to be on Switch, Bethesda has to go through them to do it even if the game is really theirs and everyone knows Nintendo HATES mods. The publisher makes the rules, after all.
