Dark Messiah modding community got Ubisoft approval

Am I understanding this correctly? Ubisoft is allowing third party mods of their 17 year old game that still requires a legal copy to run the mod? While good for the developers and fans, that hardly seems like a concession from Ubisoft

I am still waiting for such a game since I played it back then - FPS with magic, good bow shooting etc. and actual AAA quality. For proper RPG experience there are skyrims of these days, but something lighter, with just missions and not endless bugged half-empty open worlds, something I can easily pick up for few minutes, progress just a bit and then ignore for a month. Or play in one go if possible. Somehow, they nailed playability just right, in Half-life style.<p>I am overfed with same looking and same experience modern warfares, just like few years ago WWII oversaturated the market. Another potential direction may be say Vietnam-like games.

Sounds like they&#x27;re eyeing up a remaster or sequel, and wait for the free labor mod community to produce candidates to do so.<p>I mean it makes sense, they probably won&#x27;t find someone easily if they put out a job advert, the original developers will have long gone, and you cannot beat someone training themselves over the span of years.

What makes this game great besides the nostalgia factor? Genuinely curious. I play things like NetHack, so a good gameplay mechanic can go a long way with me :)

Wow Ubi gave their full approval, also props to them for their hard work

Last I tried playing the game, it kept crashing with a DirectX error, so this might be the best way to keep the game working.

Will they do this for Thief next?

I LOVED the multiplayer in this game. Such a shame there’s no active servers anymore

Such a great game !

Good. It&#x27;s heartbreaking to see modders pour years of love and effort into a game, only to get a cease and desist or DMCA takedown a week after launch.<p>Looking at you Nintendo. Iwata rolls in his grave.
