Nerfix was not Dom2 betatester... he is good at ferreting out info from their Dom2 update log though
I don't think he'll really quit the forums for very long though, as he is a self described addict. I don't get the hostility towards mods and modders though, I mean you don't have to look at, let alone play, with any mods. I suppose an arguement could be made that the devs would spend too much time making the game more moddable, and less time finishing the game, but at this point I don't think thats a very strong arguement.
I dunno, mods are generally good things, most mods are crap, but theres always a few that manage to make the game more interesting for individual styles, besides I'd assume that most if not all MP is gonna be with Vanilla until people have had time to figure out any balance issues they feel are needed, and seemingly Illwinter is good at making many of those changes official anyway.
I'm hoping for greater ability to script and make maps, rather than all out modding though
