On the fence with regards to mod tools.

[Shoggoth]

So a friend recently introduced me to this game and after looking into it, I am finding it quite interesting. I am a big fan of sandbox apocalypse/not apocalypse type games(Fallout series is an all time favorite), and so far, there's not too much about this I have seen that I don't like.

However, there is one question I do have in relation to the mod tools: Is it going to be possible to add in custom skeletons, animations, races, etc once the actual API is out? I haven't been able to find too much info on the planned features whatsoever.

I ask because in a lot of games with moddability, they let you do things like add in outifts, armor, template weapons, and so on, but you often can't do anything fancy like create custom body types and animations, or add new species/creatures/movement and walking patterns/etc and so on.

(Walk cycles for instance can completely change the feel of a game. Take two of the same character, but have them walk differently, and suddenly there's a world of difference.)
