    I enjoyed FO4 way more than the community, I know it’s lacking a bit in some areas but behind Skyrim it’s my favourite game to mod. The common criticisms just didn’t bother me I guess. I put nearly a thousand hours into it (mostly modding) and had a blast the whole time. I hope you enjoy it like I did and not like the general community did.

      I was just playing skyrim. did not complete it but I can see how much they added. Its funny needing to have the hold down the button thing due to all the options. I prefer fantasy settings or utopia science fiction but its very good so far.

        Skyrim is my most played game ever, but honestly a vast majority of that playtime was not spent on the main storyline at all. The game is best when you’re doing side quests and just exploring the world (and modding of course, it has a massive modding community, literally half of all mods on nexus are for Skyrim). The main quest is fine, but it’s nothing special. It’s your run-of-the-mill “you’re the savour of the world” type thing. But the thieves guild and dark brotherhood are both a lot of fun, the civil war is really fun too, and there’s just so much care put into the environment. Go check out random caves and camps and pay close attention to your surroundings, and you’ll see so many stories there that never get explicitly told. Environmental story telling is Skyrim’s strong suit for sure.

            I’d recommend finishing a playthrough unmodded first just to get the vanilla experience, but definitely replay it modded. Alternate Start, A Quality World Map, SkyUI, Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch, and many graphics and texture mods. Plus mods that add new quests, new areas, new weapons and armour, perks, followers, anything you can think of. Plus tons of goofy mods. It’s a modder’s dream.

              Yeah but like I don’t even have the unofficial patch and I have definitely felt the lack of quality of life like with horses. Right now I have a save and plenty of games and im extremely slow. So who knows were I will go.
