  • I’m glad you can play Fallout 4 without mods. I really just use mods that make the experience better than vanilla such as:

    The AWFUL dialogue options they did for Fallout 4
    The bad voice acting for my character
    The lack of options for character creation
    The lack of diversity between characters and the armor/guns they use And any cool clothing/armor/weapon mods I would like to use or add to my companions
    OH and changes to the AI for the companions and enemies to make them just a wee bit better than just standing there in the open like a fool

    The Witcher 3 has had plenty of very good mods, though. And modding is so important to people that CDPR is releasing a whole ass modding kit, so…


  • Without mods, Bethesda’s games would not have been so consistently played since:

    2011 for Skyrim’s FIRST release
    2014 for Fallout 4’s FIRST release

    Saying that mods aren’t important, is actually kind of weird. Without those mods keeping the games afloat through the internet ether, they would not be AS popular as they are today.

    People STILL play Fallout 3 and New Vegas TO THIS DAY, because of mods that LITERALLY allow the game to be played as crash free as possible.

    From that context, I would assume mods are pretty damn important for these games.








  • Considering how much time and effort NexusMods has put into creating a very good website to host the mods, AND a very good mod manager (not the first iteration, that was really bad) to download and install the mods, I have nothing but respect for them. Granted, I bought a lifetime from them, because I had been using the site since I was a child learning what modding even was. Now, when I tell me friends about how easy it is to grab a Collection, and it installs everything the way it needs to be so you can just get to gaming, I love them even more. Getting people to try modding their games was frustrating as hell before because not everyone spent their entire adolescent free time on the computer trying to install mods that were never going to be playable because you were too young to understand why your computer was not powerful enough to run it!
