    Hi @DJ_dog210

    I moved your post to the Andromeda thread.

    As someone who use and create mods myself I also would like to have a tool set aka easy modding capabilities.

    The problem is that Bioware did not create such tools for DAI and also not for ME3. Furthermore, I don't think that we will get any infos about this before the game is released.

    It is also true that Frostbite is very hard to mod. So all in all I doupt that there will be a tool set or mods early available.

    If the game becomes as beloved as ME1 - 3, people will find a way to create mods, but there is no guarantee.

I believe Frostbite 3 consists of third party technology that EA can't legally distribute, so a toolkit seems unlikely.

Are you sure Fred? It's DICE Engin, and DICE is a 100% subsidiary of EA.

That's the reason BioWare always gave. Not all features in Frostbite 3 Engine are created by Dice. SpeedTree, for instance, is developed by IDV. I assume there are other third party technologies in Frostbite that make the release of a modkit a licensing issue.

That is of course very well possible. Thanks Fred.
