wanderer_27: Well, usually besides the Graphics Mods there are "Unofficial" bug fix Mods . . . these are primarily what I'm looking for.
madgamer2: I remember the ling days and hours playing Skyrim. This was the first game I ever owned that had to have an unofficial MOD just to get started. After some 250-0 hrs. I finally gave up on Oblivion & Skyrim because I bought the Hearthfire and the DLC where you go to the Island to the north.. After spending hours playing that DLC I get to the final battle and it is flawed. I tried everything but nothing worked and I finally just quit the game and deleted it from my steam along with Oblivion and never looked back.
I may never buy another Bethsoft game.. To put games on the market that had so many bugs and allow MOD's that caused even more was more than I could handle. For my money Moralwind is the only one in the series that I will play.
How two games like ES IV & ES V could get such a large following is something I will never understand. I think many were drawn to them by the prospect to create MOD's
Eh...mods are like game software, there are good ones and bad ones. It's that simple. You never had to own a single mod to play Skyrim, btw. It's just that the mods added so much to the game in so many ways that you'd be foolish not to run the game with a bunch of mods. But again--some mods are good and some are bad...just like the games themselves. Lumping all "mods" into a big basket as thought they were all bad, just because some mods are indeed bad, makes no more sense than not buying games anymore just because some of them are bad, as well.
