3. Modernization Feasibility Assessment
EVALUATION CONFIRMED| Subsystem Target | Strategy | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 64-Bit Memory Space | Native 64-bit Virtual Address | RESOLVED |
| Direct 3rd-Person WASD | Virtual Stick / DInput Hook | FEASIBLE |
| PBR / Toggleable Armatures | Custom GLSL/Vulkan Pipeline | SUPPORTED |
| NSS Script Bytecode Execution | Xoreos NSS VM / Sandboxed Host | VALIDATED |
4. Legal Clean-Room & Distribution Safe Harbor
EA/BIOWARE COMPLIANTZero proprietary retail assets must ever be redistributed. Retail files are mounted dynamically at runtime:
| Compliance Vector | Standard Enforcement | Compliance |
|---|---|---|
| Clean-Room Specification | Black-box format reconstruction | PASS |
| Zero-Bundled Copyright Assets | No ERF/FSB/TLK shipped in binaries | STRICT PASS |
| Runtime Retail File Mounting | Requires verified retail DAO installation | ENFORCED |
| Community Toggleable Armatures | Modular replacement via override paths | PERMITTED |
Note: Like Skywind or OpenMW, projects remain legally viable only when users provide legitimate retail game data files.
