Well that really bothered me, it was in the kickstarter campaign, after a couple of months the game was funded every mention of modding completely disappeared from it and Obsidian never spoke about it again (or gave straight answers).
I don't mind the game not supporting mods (supporting mods means easy and straight way to implement mods like: first 2 Dragon Age, Bethesda games, etc..), but I do mind them advertising it, then completely removing it and expecting we didn't notice.
I always thought very highly of Obsidian (and still do), but this left me with a bitter taste.
