Skyrim Modder Slams Starfield, Abandons Co-op Mod

Players curious about potential co-op experiences in Bethesda's latest space RPG, Starfield, would have been intrigued by the announcement that the modding team behind Skyrim Together had begun work on a similar project for Starfield. However, a recent development has seen this highly anticipated mod shelved due to the modder's disappointment with the core game. The modder in question, known as Cosideci, labeled Starfield as "mediocre," citing its lack of engaging exploration, which is a hallmark of Bethesda games. Despite having ported roughly 70% of the Skyrim Together code to the tentative Starfield Together mod, Cosideci has ceased development and made their work publicly available in open-source format for anyone willing to finish the project. The modding community will have to remain patient, however, as completing the mod is estimated to require over 100 hours of development time. Fans of cooperative play in Bethesda RPGs will, for now, have to stick to the lands of Tamriel in Skyrim. For players looking for more content, there is the option of a mod that turns you into a professional ship designer and a recent interview with the creator of an Enclave-themed Fallout mod.

No, development of a co-op mod for Starfield, similar to Skyrim Together, has been halted by the original modders due to dissatisfaction with the game's quality and enjoyment. The project's code has been made open-source for the community if anyone else decides to take on the task.
