Bethesda.net, Bethesda's new forums REBOOT Options

[mALX]

You ho.

Honestly, nothing will be as bad as censoring parts of words because they contain letters that make up a naughty word.

Ditto.

That sounds like a simple fix, too. You can add whatever word you want to board filters, and usually there is an option for exact match only.

It's but a few clicks of the mouse to correct.

Too much work for Bethesda. They'll just wait until a modder fixes it

The Oblivion sub-forums there are still all but dead. The Mods sub-forum has few "official" individual mod threads. I had hope that that sub-forum at least would show steady activity. How are we supposed to keep abreast of new releases and updates/patches for existing mods? Has some other forum usurped that function? The Oblivion General Discussion sub-forum is little if any better off. Heck, its somewhat recently begun Screenshots thread appears to be locked. Still no forum-wide Community Discussion forum either. Gotta admit I don't help matters any, rarely contributing anything. It's just not an inviting place the way its set up. I'd likely participate more often it was more active, but at this stage I question if that will ever happen. Are sub-forums for more recently released Beth titles more active????

The Skyrim ones seem to be swamped with Xbox1 users demanding more free content. In particular, there are a lot of requests for somebody else to port PC mods over, even after the author has declined to do so. It's bad enough for me to decide that I'll not port anything new I create to Xbox1, nor allow anyone else to do so. Fortunately my mods are too demanding of the player (Build Your Own? Why can't the mod do that for me?) to be very popular.

There are a number of PC players and Mod Authors there, but I suspect the numbers are dwindling in the face of the toxic atmosphere from the Xbox1 people. PS4 users often chime in to blame Bethesda for Sony's restrictions on mods, which just makes it worse. It's that constant whine that makes me think the Creation Club is an attempt to get around the Sony issue.

The Oblivion forums probably suffer from the state of the others. The Screenshot thread was closed at Renee's request, with a "please start a fresh one" at the end.

Several posters have also made the point that the editor is less friendly on the new board, and a lot of content they intended to bring over can't be added the way they needed to. and there aren't any stickies, so stuff ages off, regardless of how much it's read, if it's not constantly updated. So they gave up.

Glad I never boarded that ship. But how could I have, it was already sinking while still in docks

[Acadian]

Yeah, when I looked around over there it just confused the heck out of me. Since my current game is ESO and their forum is run by Zenimax, I gave up on the official BethSoft forums. Still not sure why they broke a good thing.

Yeah it's a mess. And no General Discussion! Deal. Breaker.
