Heya,

Is it just me or does For Honor look like the LoL or well the WC3 killer, if it ships with decent modding support?
Well I dunno maybe not, actually.

But I just imagine the engine and current features (as seen on videos) being warped and wrangled by all kinds of mods.
Ofc it would need much more raw content for this to be viable (the current amount of factions and player characters are too limited for something in the scale of Dota 1).
And I highly doubt that ubisoft is interested into making a move like that, I'm afraid it will likely be just another way-too-streamlined MOBA in the current trend of proprietary MOBAs.
But it should be fairly apparent by now that LoL hit the sweet-spot for streamlining, so going beyond that is shortsighted.
And there's plenty of other well-apparent pitfalls...

Even if they would announce that it would have strong moddability, I probably wouldn't believe anyway. But if it happens I think it could be interesting.

What do you guys think?

I think its unlikely that modding will be incorporated and I don't think it suits a game like For Honor to be honest

Still, I guess I wouldn't mind them, as long as gameplay and performance is not affected!

Mods are always a good idea, but whether or not it's supported is another thing unfortunately. Ubisoft games have always lacked modding support, so I highly doubt FH will get one... Especially since it's MP focused as well.

I don't think For Honor is trying to compete with MOBAs. If anything they're going for the action or shooter market.

I'm not too sure about that. I mean there's definitely lines you can draw across both directions. And the melee fighting system is fairly unique as far as team-based MP games go (the closest thing I can think of is Jedi Academy)

It is a very underused genre, but I'm not sure if calling it a hack-and-slash is really doing it justice. It's hard to place it in any particular genre at least for me. So that's why I said they're going for shooter/action, because the same audience that enjoys those games will probably enjoy this type of game as well.

Didn't Yves Guillemot say it's under a whole new genre during its E3 2015 reveal?

May only in multiplayer mode they were prohibited.

A lot of people call their games all new genres, it's marketing speak. But for this game? That might be true.

I wouldn't get my hopes up.
