The One and Only

Nice how he makes sure everyone know they have SKILLS in every sentance he writes.

this is so stupid. The game isnt even out yet. Wait till the game comes out, then talk about modding it

You can do plenty for a mod for game which isn't out. You start with compling a plan of what you want to have in your mod (based on what you think/know the game can do), write up the storyline and dialogue, create the music and sound effects, draw the textures, etc.

Not to mention that the Alpha can be used to make maps too.

The map format will probably be refined by the final version, making alpha maps incompatible with the full version.

I find that unlikely.. as it probaly like all other radiants save as .map files..

I think it is completely reasonable to start building mods. Especially considering official press releases that state what the game won't have. And having a plan before you get the tools is one way to speed things up once you get the tools. I can hardly wait.

Nothing wrong with planning ahead IMHO.
