Originally posted by cdtmMy first playthrough ever was on console at release. I never even had a computer good enough for mods until I got older. I enjoyed vanilla, sure. The game is fun without mods, but mods take it to a whole new level. The value and longevity it adds to the game is insane.
TheLoneRanger seems to love it without mods.Console players in general don't use mods. I think even the 360 version looks just fine as is.
Plus, that's just one of the things I listed there that I love about the game. The exploration, atmosphere, and immersion are all there without mods. They improve it tenfold though IMO
Mods can be fun, yeah.
I also find they can totally break the look/feel of a game, or introduce bugs. The "Better Planets and Backgrounds" in FTL: Faster Than Light is an example of something I woudn't use on another play through, because it clashes with the intended pixel art, and simply looks garish imo..

They were just examples. Immersion, I'd argue, would also fall into gameplay.
Anyway, Skyrim's quests are created in such a way to get people to explore the world. I'd say they are very well designed from that aspect.
