I would like to learn game development via game modding. RPG/MMORPG is one of my favorite genres. Could someone recommend me a good and recent ( I would like to play the game as well) game to learn game modding. Something with the likes of Neverwinternights 2.
Thank you very much for the responses. Appreciate it.
Answer
For RPGs, you might look at:
M&B is more recent than Oblivion, but both are still played (and worth playing). For MMOs, Edward83's recommendation of Lua is good, however - for World of Warcraft, you would only be using Lua to write add-ons, not full mods.
To clarify, when you make a mod for a game like Oblivion or Neverwinter Nights, you're actually changing the full game experience - you could make a science-fiction version of Oblivion, for instance. But with Warcraft/Lua, all you would be doing is making changes to the interface, not the game itself. You couldn't, say, add a new item to Warcraft, or change the skins to be Klingons.
You can do a lot of cool things in WoW addons (and you can learn programming with Lua), but if you're interested in eventually making a full game - it's not quite the same as developing a mod.
