The funny thing, about this whole 'The Elder Scrolls Construction Set', is that it actually worked out.
I mean how often did you read 'Ahh, maybe we could mod the shit out of it so that we could get the F3 we want'...
It's just because the media never pointed out how bad the editor really is, or the things you could change.
The scripting language they used for the game is shit. You're lacking a lot of commands you would need for doing cool things. You had to use over and over workarounds to get what you hit with your sword.
There were (as Nim82 pointed out before) nearly no 3D-editing tools, so people wanting to add change something had to work around (sure this is possible, but yeah very mod-able)...
NPC editing? - yeah sure, you couldn't do a lot with the NPC's, i mean you couldn't even rename a NPC. As far as i know you had to make a different NPC-look-alike wich replaced the old one...
Making new menus? - Impossible.
Editing characteristics of a weapon/armour/anything per script mostly impossible!
Adding scripts to arrows? - Impossible..
And the list would go on and on...
But why would you add real modability (HL2 - Civilization IV), when you're aiming for console players.
The console players won't get mods...
But in the heads of people who never looked at the editor, you could change the whole damn game with what beth gave us *laughs*...
