"Modders can easily fix that" is a piss-poor cop-out for a defective product.

"Modders can easily fix that" because the devs made efforts to leave a fairly open game. What happens if upon install of SH you have one folder, one "SH5.exe" and 5 huge encrypted archives containing all the data?

So when you buy a brand new car,and it doesn't have a passenger side door, but the salesman says "oh that can be fixed by someone besides us, not our problem" you ok with that?

I have a better analogy: If you buy a brand new convertible, do you complain to the salesman that there's no roof?

I'd rather avoid buying it, until he proves that it does.

If they gave me the impression it was supposed to have one in the first place....yes

True, that was pretty poor marketing, but still, now that cat is out of the bag but you haven't yet shelled any money, so no harm done.

Even if they did there is not a one size fit's all in this community as far as a finished product. As well people would still want to
mod it just out of boredom after awhile.

It's funny that they allow us such great freedom for the interface... since nobody likes the original interface in SH5

. As then and just like you, I wonder how far the scripts will take us.
