seeing the success of skyrims steam workshop its still one of the top selling game even to this very date i was wondering if you guys will release a steam workshop for witcher 2 it would help make witcher 2 one of the top selling games for a very very very long time before the sales start to die you guys already proved that giving free stuff can benefit financialy therefore the steam workshop is the ultimate thing you can possibly give to the players so anyway what are your thoughts on this is a a great idea or do you hate with all your might let me know

Bethesda has relatively restrictive rights on all mods, and Skyrim requires Steam. Neither of these facts are true for CDPR, and there's no obvious benefit to CDPR, the modding community or mod users in using Steam Workshop for The Witcher games.

It upset a lot of modders when Bethesda did it, many of whom refuse point-blank to go through the workshop. Users would need to set up Steam accounts, which would annoy a lot of them, and as the patching of the main game at Steam has always been problematic, so it would give CDPR a lot of extra work.

There are plenty of alternative hosting sites, such as The Nexus. It's worked well in the past for the developer to just leave the modding community to make their own decisions about where to publish, and there's no reason to think it won't continue to work that way.

But we definitely want to see that toolkit. :)

Just no. :realmad:
Long time TES modder. When the tools are released, hopefully, a TW2 modder.

Incidentally, Skyrim Nexus has twice as many Skyrim mods as Steam has. I wouldn't call Steam Workshop a success.

Here's a question for you though. Does the steam workshop allow loli tentacle rape mods? Because I'm pretty sure Oblivion's Nexus has that...and worse. C:

I've never looked :)
You may want to go and look at The Nexus's TOS.

No need for insults. A lot of people have misconceptions about The Nexus.

The Nexus bans a lot of people for a lot of good reasons, but those who get banned often then badmouth it, and those who don't know the site take it as true.
