I need to look up what mods they have. I'm afraid though that I would just end up modding it to be more like Oblivion, such as the map, gameplay, and adding in magic creation (why did they take that away!?).

Nexusmods is where it's at if you are interested in modding your game. Just keep in mind that in between the lore friendly and various overhaul mods there may be a few that are pretty nsfw, so browse at your own discretion. You can filter your searches though to not include anything you don't want to see. But yeah, there's a few pretty decent magic mods. Not sure if there's any magic creation ones, but there are plenty that straight up give you more spells. You can also Oblivion up your game if that is what you want with a good many options. There's even a mod called Beyond Skyrim: Bruma which lets you go back to Cyrodiil, and others that add items from Oblivion to Skyrim. If you do decide you want to mod it, I'd use their Vortex app. It installs and auto sorts your mods for you, and it lets you know what you are missing to get certain mods to work, making it relatively painless.

(Dangit, now I want to mod another playthrough. lol)

Shouldn't you be burying the light then instead of releasing it everywhere?

That's why I don't want to do another playthrough anytime soon. Having to redo everything for the Skyrim Anniversary. Ugh.. I never updated the game, so my old setup is still fine, but I don't want to not play it with Anniversary next time. So it's a bit of a conundrum. Eventually during some more FFXIV downtime I'll probably get around to it.

I am a 2021 Skyrim baby, though I didn't touch the greedy "Anniversary Edition", just the original was what I played. It's a freaking wondrous game and I played it vanilla. Daedra quest chains were amazing - I was siding with the outcome that gave me their untarnished relic for the achievement so it led to some quite "evil" decisions. My life for Molag Bal.

Its a PS store leak but this and Digimon Survive might just sate my hunger for new trpg games.

A Bethesda "finished" product is typically two alphas and a beta stacked up in a trenchcoat.

Pretty much, I think the ES and Fallout games have been complete garbage for a very very very long time.
I'd argue even Oblivion wasn't that great.

But modders kinda save the games.
I don't think Bethesda deserves the praise they get for that tho, I think they get credit that the modders deserve.
Because ultimately when most people think of these games I think that they think of them in a modded state.
I see this too a lot when people criticize the game people just bring up a mod that fixed the issue ( often times not the most stable tho ).

I mean sure, if a mod fixes a problem that's nice.
But I am not going to account for that when I judge the game itself and Bethesdas work, imma judge it how it is unmodded.

Please be true. Triangle Strategy got me in the mood for old TRPGs again. Also, if there's a straight port of FFT, please include FFTA and FFTA2 into it, I loved those games (even though I hated the laws). Seriously, you're not allowed to use certain races at certain times? What is this nonsensical bigotry!? LET ME USE MY FULL BANGAA TEAM!

Here he is very calm and objective. I am curious, whether the game will be a success or not. If yes, more Pay2win games could appear.


Cheers
