Todd Howard surprised by Fallout Shelter Switch success + Mods not in the works for Skyrim
- Thread starter Jonneh
- Start date
Personally i'd rather take The Evil Within 1 and 2 over Skyrim mods, but that's just me.
Congrats for Fallout Shelter.

I honestly would have been surprised if mods were coming to Switch. Even if the risk of it leading to softmodding is low, I don't think Nintendo really would enjoy the idea of letting users run (externally made) community code on their console.
So he's basically just said they are failing their userbase with no plans to remedy it. Lol sounds about right.
Yeah... nice todd.. hey, they are spending monry... but we are not doing nothing
And then some expert from teset era will say that these big companies know what theybare doing...
DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD LEAVE MONEY ON THE TABLE....?!
Yea, they do. Thats how big companies work. Burocracy!

"We haven't supported Skyrim switch as much as we'd like"
"So are you doing anything about that"
"No."
"OK, Bye"
Then no follow on questions about if the game will receive any further patches and such. Great job EG.
I don't care about mods, but I'd like the game to not crash & soft-lock on switch as much as it does.

guess they didn't plan for success then and can't move anyone onto switch support, maybe next FY they will.
I mean I guess we have a little insight perhaps? Nintendo didn't actively say no to mods, they just didn't put the work in to make it even work. Hopeful for the future I guess, mods would be really cool for Switch.
I'm expecting a full price port of Fallout 3 when Fallout 76 goes out. Then a Fallout 4 port next year.
I really don't think Bethesda will ever do a remaster of Fallout 3. That game has aged very poorly, even compared to New Vegas. Just getting it running on a modern system without it crashing every 30 minutes is a struggle, and that's just the technical aspect. I'm sure porting the game without adding things like ironsights / sprinting and what else would make for a poor reception of the remaster as well, and I don't think Bethesda want to worry about working on a remaster when they have Fallout 76, Star Field, Elder Scrolls Blades, and ES6 all on the horizon, and all are probably more profitable prospects.
I am hooked to Fallout Shelter on the switch and I am thirsty for a Fallout port. I got TES, now I just want Fallout. Yes, I am port begging but that's why I play Fallout Shelter so often, because I am desperate for Fallout 4 and I miss that game so much but the only gaming option for me right now is a Switch.
It makes sense. Switch is pretty popular with lower budget releases, and people love to play these games on the go because the graphical expectations are lower.
No reason for it to not come to them, unless it's literally a straight port (which would fly better on Switch than on those other two).
I have had hard discussions with some members who keep saying that 3rd parties dont invest money on switch because they dont see any return over investiment.
I keep saying that big companies are not managed based on profits only. There is bureaucracy ... lots of it.
I'd imagine they probably wish they'd done mods or creation club at launch but probably feel it's not worth bothering with now as by the time they'd be done they'll get in the way of blades and they'd rather people pumped time and money into blades instead of spending more time on skyrim
What- what are you talking about. Bethesda has already supported the Switch (more than any other third party I might add). This question was just about bringing mods to Switch.
I would imagine so but Todd Howard was out at E3 saying they weren't doing anything with Fallout 3.
What I got from this is they have a permanent Switch team, and we know Panic Button did Wolfenstein and Doom (and likely anything upcoming related to these games such as Doom Eternal or the new Wolfenstein DLC), so this tells me this internal Bethesda Switch team so far have done Fallout Shelter and Skyrim? Which should theoretically mean this "Switch Group" has been on something else since Fallout Shelter launched. With both those games doing pretty well and Todd being happy about Switch it seems unlikely that it would have closed. Add that to the fact they're surprised how well Shelter did, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if something else Fallout related comes soon. Whether that's, 3, 4, 76 or something older who knows. I know there's a lot of reading between the lines here and I could be wrong but that's what I saw lmao.
Since Todd has said they aren't currently doing anything with 3, I think 4 is a no brainer, especially since they now have experience porting Skyrim and it runs on the same engine.
I would love mods for Switch Skyline, and a brightness slider. I'm thinking Bethesda thought they were going to do okay in terms of sales, but not as well as they have done.
I've actually been having a blast with Shelter on the Switch, it's the perfect balance for the game. I played it back at launch on mobile and hit the wall pretty quick. It's come a fairly long way since then, all the quests and exploring make it feel more...Fallout'y. The Switch's portability means I can pop on it whilst the TV's on for example, but it's not coming everywhere with me spamming notifications to bring me back.
Skyrim was done by iron galaxy, looks like the performance of skyrim and doom was good enough for them to maybe start an internal switch team
Ahh damn I forgot about Iron Galaxy entirely somehow. Ignore me then. That's still great news though if the team is recently opened.
Don't mods work with hacked switch?

Well, FO4 is hard to port because of technological constraints, and 3's codebase, along with Oblivion's, is kind of a mess iirc.
This is ultimately what I'm expecting from Bethesda. MMOs are built to support a very wide range of hardware which should make ESO a very feasible port.
What are the specs on the GPD? Christ, that IS the dream!
ESO already has Morrowind :P Kinda!
