Bethesda Responds to Horse Armor Backlash - briefly
(hx) 08:38 PM CEST - Apr,04 2006 - Post a comment / read (2)
Pete Hines from Bethesda Software was kind enough to answer a few questions and shed some light on the whole Horse Armor Spectacle:
bapenguin: It seems there's been quite a bit of backlash from the $2.50 horse armor skins. What's your take on it?

Pete Hines: Honestly there's not a lot of info out there for us to go on. We tried to find a spot for it that fit with what other things were out there. A Theme costs 150 points. The Kameo thing was 200. We're trying to find the right spot that fits. How much is something you can use in the game worth versus a gamer picture pack, or a theme, and so on.

bapenguin: Any chance that we'll see a change in the price structure because of this? Or has it been selling well enough at the current price point that you guys are happy?

Pete Hines: Will they all be priced the same? I don't know. We're not even a day into this right now. We've got a couple more we're working on finishing and testings and will release in the next couple of weeks. We want to put some different things out there and find out what folks want and what they don't want. These are optional things, not requirements, so if
you don't want to get them you don't have to.

bapenguin: What about free mods on the 360? Will we be seeing any of the popular PC mods from the user community showing up on Live?

Pete Hines: Right now we don't have plans to do any free mods. We don't ever get involved with fan-created content, on any platform, so taking some of that and releasing it on Live is not something we'd ever do.
In related news, Bethesda Softworks has launched Obliviondownloads.com, their official web site for their added content to the PC version of their hit RPG Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. People who own the PC version can now purchase and download the horse armor mod that was released yesterday for the Xbox 360 version of the game for $1.99.

Along with the horse armor, the purchase site also has a few small images and brief summaries of future content:
Orrery - Harness the power of the stars. Rebuild the defiled Orrery and unlock the secrets of this Mages Guild Inner Sanctum.

Wizard's Tower - In the frozen mountains of Cyrodiil stands Frostcrag Spire, a tower of wonders for your magic-oriented character to call home.

$2 for a mod is not bad, but something like this should have been included in the game. All this detail in the game and they forget(or did they) to put this in? PC = Greed. Their non-public stance towards mods is pretty sad. You should be 'encouraging' mod development because it helps at the least to promote your game. I have no plans to buy any mod or put any mod on my game, I will finish it as it was meant to be, I don't need any aids or further eye candy.. armor on a horse, who gives a crap really... like jeez.. What's next? Braids for your horses maine? God...

Unlike a lot of people, I couldn't give a rats ass about 'mods' for games expecially if it's asking me to put more money into the game.. Look at Sims, that community would take shit on a stick if it was released for Sims... that whole game just makes me puke how much EA and Maxis are gouging it's community. Needless to say all the pathetic people who make mods for the game and sell em... What has EA or Maxis given back to the community for FREE in thanks for upping their coffers a few billion dollars??? And how bright is the Sims community that they just sits there forking out $40 an expansion...

I like mods that enhance the game play, currently I am using 3 mods:

1. No Psychic Guards (Makes the game more realistic guards wont come running unless they hear a call for help)

2. Chase Camera Mod (Makes the third person camera more usable)

3. Two Item Prompt (Makes it prompt you for two items when picking up, buying or selling instead of the default at 3)

How ever horse armor isn't important to me but if they combined it with 14 other mods and sold it for 29.99 I would buy it, I'm a sucker for expansion packs :roll:
