The Glossary

In the wild, changes to a game are often called both, mod(ification) and plugin. For us at Andraste, mods and plugins have a different but distinct meaning.

In general, everything that has the capability of modifying a given application or game in any given way, for us is called Mod (modification).

Plugins, in contrast, are a specific species of mods: They contain code modifications, such as hooks to game functions or writing to game memory, as opposed to asset-only changing modifications.
