Should there be modding in the game?
Should there be modding in the game? It's a question that comes up a lot especially when it concerns difficulty levels, animal behaviour and weather. However, @Raphael van Lierop has said in the forums that he's not in favour of modding since it would change the game to the point where it isn't The Long Dark any longer. I was wondering what the community's opinion was and whether there was a middle ground. Personally, I'd love to be able to add custom items (e.g. scoped rifle, ice fishing auger)
Just to be clear -- I'm in favour of adding Mod Support to The Long Dark (that's why it's in our roadmap). My comments about not wanting to release it are related to timing -- I wouldn't release mod tools before we've had a chance to launch Story Mode and establish what the game and world is, before opening it up to the community. We've also discussed wider Workshop support so people can create their own items, etc. We believe in the importance of letting our community express themselves through
