Speaking to Hajime Tabata in interview at Gamescom, we're told that he and his team did have concerns over the kind of content that would be modded into the game. Obviously there's some worry about we've made this great world and people might try to stuff all kind of strange things into it and mess it up, he tells us.
The biggest issue they potentially face, of course, is nude modding. When we were getting together for discussion, all the people together in the project were airing out their worries, [nude mods] were something most people were really worried about, Tabata says.
In the end, Tabata and his team made the decision to allow players full freedom to use and create mods, saying, what's stronger in my mind is the fact that I don't want to limit people too much - this is part of the culture of gaming these days. These people - it's a thing they've bought, it's their game now.
"I don't think it's a good thing, but we're going to leave it to the moral sense of all the players out there. I basically want, as a principle, to give as much freedom and as little limitations on it as possible."
