August File of the Month Interview feat. Elestat
Sorry about the confusion last month. TESNexus's File of the Month system was messed up, making it hard to decide on who the winner was (the last time was from May!) In any case, this month's File of the Month winner of your choice is Elestat, who won with Trade and Commerce at 97 votes. That's a considerable amount! Hopefully you'll enjoy this interview with Elestat and the insight into the creation of the mod and learn a bit about them. Tell us a little about yourselves. Where you are ...

After being delayed twice, the next (and most likely last) DLC for Fallout New: Vegas, ”Lonesome Road” was confirmed to be coming out on September 20th of this year for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

When asked about “Lonesome Road”, creative director of Obsidian Entertainment, Chris Avellone, ...

EA/Bioware's stance on modding Dragon Age
Use of Dragon Age Assets (all game versions) in Mods In response to communication from the Nexus Staff, the Dragon Age development team provided their perspective on this issue. Their basic position is: BioWare will allow relatively free use of its in-game resources (models and textures) from Dragon Age (all games) by modders who wish to create new content for use in the Dragon Age series. BioWare requires three things: 1. Mod must be totally non-commercial. There can be no payme...

Skyrim to feature same-sex marriage options
Earlier, Pete Hines (the Vice President of Bethesda’s PR department), stated on Twitter that same-sex marriage will be allowed in Skyrim. He responded to someone who called the topic “hush hush” by saying Not hush hush, just not making a huge deal out of it. You can marry anyone. He later clarified his previous tweet by posting Sorry, should clarify. Not any NPC, just mean any male or female. Doesn't matter what you're playing. It appears that Skyrim is taking after games like Dragon ...

So here we are, almost at the end of day 2 since the Nexus site redesign launch. I've been spending most of my time on bug fixes and tweaks based on the feedback you've all been giving me. Thank you for, in the most part, remaining calm and constructive during this period. I'm just going to go through a few of the major and minor things that keep coming up in the feedback and run you through of the changes already made, and a few upcoming changes. First of all my apologies to the IE8 users...

Lonesome Road scheduled for 20 September plus 2 more DLC
Bethesda's blog has the news that Lonesome Road will be available for purchase on 20 September 2011. In Lonesome Road you are contacted by the original Courier Six, a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum Chip at the start of Fallout: New Vegas. Ulysses promises the answer as to why he didn’t take the job, but only if you make one last journey into the hurricane-swept canyons of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by earthquakes and violent storms. It’s up to you w...

If you're reading this then you're looking at the new Nexus site design. If this is a surprise to you then sorry! I've been keeping people informed through the site news and blog posts over the past few months so try and check in every now and again and see what new stuff is getting added to the sites. This new design is the combination of many months of hard work between myself and a professional web designer trying to get things, to start with, how I wanted it and then following some constr...

Nexus redesign finalised, launching next week
A few weeks back I posted a heads-up regarding my plans to launch a redesigned look to the Nexus Sites by the end of August. The feedback to the redesign was mostly good and some of the constructive criticism provided has either already been incorporated in to the final design or has been noted, perhaps for addition later on down the line. Listed below are test examples for each of the Nexus Sites. These are very close to final now and I'm not going to be making any major changes before the c...

Skyrim confirmed to use Steamworks
Bethesda today confirmed that Skyrim will use Steamworks. Given the use of Steamworks for Fallout: New Vegas and Brink its use in Skyrim isn't very surprising. Note that the game is still a "Games for Windows" title, but will not use Games for Windows Live. ...

This week in August marks the 10 year anniversary of the Nexus sites. I launched Morrowind Chronicles at the age of 15 back in August of 2001. What started as a general purpose news and information site for Morrowind has now spread in to a multi-site network of mod databases that are some of the largest modding sites in the world. I feel a great sense of achievement and pride for this great community which is a testament to some great games and some great modders. And what's best, I feel like I'...

Slew of Quakecon hands-on previews
The Bethblog has a list of links to a number of websites that have posted previews of Skyrim based on a one hour playthrough. The games were played on the Xbox so commentary about the PC interface or controls will not be included. Some examples of the remarks include: Ausgamers But it’s not just the animals you need to be weary of, and I mentioned earlier I’d encountered a few bandits, but what I wasn’t ready for was the level of sophistication the baddies have apparently been gr...

Today, Bethesda announced on their blog that Lonesome Road, the next Fallout: New Vegas DLC, will be delayed at least another month. Senior Producer Jason Bergman posted the following in the Bethesda forums. We just wanted to drop in here and let you know that due to circumstances beyond our control, Lonesome Road won’t be out this month. This isn’t due to any major issue with the code or content, but there are lots of factors involved in releasing these things, and one of those is causing...

Bethesda sues Notch over the use of the word "Scrolls"
A few days ago, the legal department of Bethesda Softworks (not to be confused with Bethesda Game Studios) served the creator of Minecraft, Notch, legal papers regarding the title of Notch’s upcoming game, “Scrolls”. The Bethesda legal department expressed concern that people will confuse Notch’s “Scrolls” game with “The Elder Scrolls” series. Notch posted this on his blog.
