Why not?
People complain how Beth keeps putting out mods anyone can make, so make something THEY CAN'T MAKE. I mean, you just proved that - you said the dungeon was something anyone could make. So why not put some stuff in that Modders can't make, eh?
If modders get the right tools they can make
ANYTHING. A lot of modders are actualy students, or some are even 3D experts. Now, a modder could make a horse armor in, say, one day? Two days? And modders could make a lot of varieties of Horse armor: Just imagine having Glass, Steel, Dwarwen, Daedric and many other. Instead, modders are forced to reskin Behtesda armors, and publish the mod with ''You need to have offical Bethesda plugin to play this mod.'' If the tools are released, everything would be posible. Grrrr.

That'd make it worth the money, no? It'd be how some MW mods need Bloodmoon and tribunal purely for scripting reasons.
You have to understand that Bloodmoon and Tribunal are expansions, not some low-class mods. I think that McAsmod made werewolves before Bloodmoon. So why can't modders make that now?

And The CS is no limited than before. MW modders couldn't do that. They'll just have to apply some ingenuity. Hell, I saw a vid of dancing NPCs to the Numa-Numa song. By using the stock animations in a rapid-fire and ingeniously designed way it looked pretty damn good.

I don't know about that, but modders are complaining a lot. Not limited? You can't even merge plugins!

They are trying to support the modding community. It took Beth forever to get a modelling thingy out for MW. And MW didn't have crap like Havocs to worry about. Beth's going to need some time.
You think that Havoc is to blame? Says they. How come Half-Life 2 modding community had no problems? I don't know, something awfuly stinks in their story. Just imagine them announcing ''Havoc negotiations failed''. What would be the first thing you would think?

I think that Hypn0 means it might lead to worse things. Like Bethesda "holding in" on features just to realease them as official plugins and hove the money in.
Exactly. Besides, they had 4 full years to think about this. Now, it would be OK if they didn't release the Horse armor and charge for it. Nobody would question their honor. But since they were cinic enough to release something modders don't have the tools to make,and demanding money for it, it was a slap in the face. Now the question is: Will they ever release the .nif tool? It won't bring them any good.
Would you download the Horse armor for 2$ with only Elven and Iron skin, or would you download a fan-made mod with all skins: Iron, Steel, Dwarwen, Elven, Mithril, Daedric etc... and completly free. Only some common sence is necessary.
