First of all, there is a reply function.

Anyway, how is that a "good thing"? At all? I saw a comment elsewhere in the same vein. That we should just wait for the Mod Tools to be released. This has nothing to do with that. This has nothing to do with those "patches" that change data values or change textures or mucks about with functions.

There is no way for us to change the amount of RAM the game appropriates without changing the executable. There is no way to "patch the old fashion way" - there is only one way to patch things in the software sense of the word in this context; and that is to much with the .exe.

Another thing just came to mind. Is it even possible to (legitimately) create script extension(s) without patching the .exe or using some kind of injector? Remember Oblivion Script Extender? Remember Fallout Script Extender? Remember how many mods needed that, or how many potential mods were made possible thanks to it?
