    But I did. Also the classic “The modders will save the game.”. Man, I’m getting tired of that.

      I always thought that was a joke about modders adding in big bouncy titties and the game not having much else going for it…

      also schlongs of skyrim mod sounds super important for living those exhibitionist fantasies

      Agreed. Modding doesn’t “fix” Skyrim either. It adds surface-level content and tweaks but the fundamental bones of the game are still there and they are heavily flawed. One of the few exceptions I can think of are things like Skywind but that’s only because it removes Skyrim’s story entirely, overhauls many of its mechanics, and uses the world/lore/story of one of Bethesda’s better games.

      And in the case of Starfield - it’s entirely beyond salvaging with mods. Mods will not be able to fix the biggest problems with that game because they are literally the very way the game was made. To fix them would require basically remaking the entire game from scratch.
