Add ons for ESO

ESO on PC benefits from a different UI add-ons.

 

Is there any chance we could see add-ons like this in the future, maybe something similar to Steam mod marketplace

As more games with a modding community come to Stadia maybe they will support something like this, for now maybe we can ask Bethesda/ESO for an add-on import feature or something.

I would guess that any add-on would have to be injected at runtime every time you start up the game. Being part of your stadia profile for ESO.

Any added add-on's and any updates to them would have to be approved/vetted so that they don't do anything they shouldn't. (Writing/reading files where they shouldn't, quality control etc). When you download an add-on on your PC then the risk is soly on you. But if they would be added to eso stadia then the risk is on stadia/eso.

This would probably mean that it would be a subset of the available add-on's and they would have to get permissions from the original authors before including them. Just picking them off esoui or whatever would lead to a nest of legalese conundrums.

And all of this would have to be managed by people with a monthly salary, which means that the stadia eso player base would have to be large enough to support it.

All in all, it may not be as easy as it might seem.

Playstation Now has addons for some games. So it is technical possible.

Yes, technically it should be possible. Anything is possible with enough time and money.

Possible does not always equal feasible though.

Not really sure if that will ever be possible, but never say never.

For the moment at least there is no chance to get access to Google servers, so modders can't create any addons for ESO on Stadia. At least this was the last thing I heard, but I am not a developer.

I just started to really get into ESO and players in the game were recommending addons to me. Now it makes sense! It’s a shame if we are missing out on things that improve the experience.

I'd love to see add-ons for ESO. I know this is one of the reasons some of my friends don't play on Stadia.

Playing with other player who have access to addons is basically a disadvantage

I really hope to see add-ons come in some sort of manner that can work for Stadia, unfortunately I understand the challenge as add-ons are usually made by community members and not Game Devs, it presents security and stability challenges.

Ark is coming to Stadia soon, and that's one game I have over 2000 hours into on steam and would love to get it off my PC and play it on stadia, however it's also a game that I (and many who play) have never played with out mods. 

so as much as I would love mods, I respect the challenge with mods.
