  Arthmoor is emblematic of the shitty mod authors everywhere, so many of them have massive egos, and exhibit behaviour that’s antithetical to the idea of modding.

  I love the “you can’t modify my mod because it undermines authoritative intent” and them modifying things like the standing stones because “oh, that’s not the way it’s supposed to work.” Obviously he doesn’t even believe what he says. He just says whatever he needs to to “win” like a true narcissist.

    the idea of a modder not allowing others to mod their work is hilarious on its own.

    that’s like a thief going, “hey don’t touch the things i stole! have some respect for property rights, yeah?”

  Dude, Arthmoor’s behavior is so fucking shitty and the way he types makes him sound so god damn smug it makes my blood boil. Some people get the smallest amount of power, like being in charge of a fucking mod, and they lose their fucking minds

    Ever since he got control of the patch, it made him kind of “authoritative”, even looking pretty in the eyes of Bethesda, but really flipped his lid upon seeing Obama won.

      Had a feeling he was an American Republican, no mentally sound person acts like that

    The best part is how he hates it when a mod changes something in his mod.

  I was never into Skyrim modding but even I heard all kind of stories from this man. Crazy just how far this drama reached.

  Okay. I am not familiar with Knudsen but holy crap at the number of times he has said “All the good will the community had for arthmoor and the unofficial patch had finally run out. But NEXT TIME, NEXT TIME people won’t be so forgiving…”. Also very much not a fan of the editorializing when he highlights the text from a forum post but does word replacement or puts on a nasty voice.

  And I assume the constant Argonian face zoom ins are arthmoor’s avatar or something but… I just kind of giggle every time I look up and see that arg-O-face.

  Very informative video but he is no Jacob Gellar or Joseph Anderson. Also… putting some barriers in the way of my half-baked plan to replay the TES series over the next few years. Was really hoping my days of spending hours making mod lists was over.

  Listening to this on and off between meetings and been vaguely aware of the bullshit over the years (also apparently rampant transphobia) so not sure if this gets addressed in the video but:

  ARE there good options if I want bugfixes for Bethesda games without all the “extras”?

    If you want to just play Morrowind. OpenMW is the start and end of your needs. Optionally the I heart vanilla modpack. Which is basically just visual updates and minor fixes.

    The game feels and plays like vanilla. But with less cashing and bugs.

    Good fucking luck for oblivion or Skyrim. I got nothing.
