I can't stay engaged with long quests.
I have always had so many mods that I don't really know what is original and not anymore(to some extent). It was too many years ago I played without.
I have never finished the main quest or any of the bigger side quest like siding with imperials or storm cloaks. I finished dark brooder hood multiple times and companions once and almost did the thieves guild (I was so close, then I got bored). I actually finished one dlc (dragonborn) but that is all. Most of my gameplay is exploring caves and dwemer civilizations and random small quests that was in my direction like killing bandits or giving ingredients/items.
This is my goal with all modding, honestly. As much as anything else I'm attracted to the idea of making a game my own unique, customized experience. My holy grail is getting to a point where everything is so thoroughly integrated that it's impossible to tell at a glance what's vanilla and what's modded, and to just sort of lose myself in that sensation.
Oh yea! I hate it when I can tell right away. I try my best to patch everything and make sure the loadorer is just right and that I don't get any mods that stands out like guns or anime stuff or random houses that do not fit in with the rest. I have over 1000 mods so it is a looot of work but it is so worth it. There was one load order I sat with for weeks, I started to wonder if I was ever going to play the game again 😂
Oh, man, "dark brooder" is perfect. 🤣 I only finished that questline out of disgusted hate from that damn jester. I needed to end him for good. 💀
Wow that autocorrect 😂 it does fit tho haha. Oh yea he was very annoying I always ended them. The horse was cool tho and the clothes was perfect because I like sneaking around, that is why I kept coming back on all of my runs. Did you join any "factions"?
Factions like Stormcloaks, etc.? I think there was at least one point where I tried to finish the civil war quest thing, but then the dragonflight mod came out and I completely lost interest, understandably. What's a genocidal incursion when you've got dragons to ride over it all? I mean, the ability to wreak true and unmitigated havoc on the Imperial threat was the only thing missing from said mod (story-wise, that is; ofc you could fly around and raze every praetorian cosplay camp, but the narrative effect omitted how you did it). Just, wrap it up with a dragonfire bow, and get back to the bigger stage of cosmic, existential threats. Easy peezy, but no. 😅
Yea I tried once too but lost interest because of a lot of other mods. That is the sad part about mods in my opinion. Mods are great, makes the game so much better and makes it possible to play so much longer but also removes the fun with the original quest. I mean there must be a reason most pc users do not play the big quest haha
I'm not sure that's the case, honestly. I've put over 500 hours into the game over the years, easily, and though I've played through the main quest a number of times, I just personally don't give a shit about viking Braveheart 🤣 The base game itself is epic enough that simple things like all-out war seem petty when you can shout magic better than Darth Vader can crush throats.
Haha maybe it is just me then who get bored of the original content. I even try to spice it up with mods, like making the factions actually fight at random places, making the combat harder, like they can actually snipe me, one bandit in a tunnel got so op I had to get creative or I would just die the moment I was peeking in. Or maybe it is like you I do not care enough of the characters, I think other stuff is a lot more interesting to do 😂 and some mod quest is super cool, I actually install them without checking what it is so I will get surprised. One time I got randomly kidnapped and became a slave (nothing sexual, a true working slave) for a dummer in an underground city and I didn't know if this was a mod or not until a bit later when I didn't recognize the voices
Well, I certainly hope that we'll get another experience like Skyrim soon. Who knows, maybe Starfield? 🤷🏼♂️🤞🏼
I do hope so too! Fallout 4 was not it. Even tho I hoped so. So I won't be hyped for it I don't want to be disappointed again like with cyberpunk, dragon age 3 and mass effect 4. I was extremely hyped for cyberpunk since the day the first teaser trailer 10 years ago came out. Waited with playing it until last year, it was good tho, there were almost no annoying bugs, and those that existed could be fixed with some mods. So if I play minimum 50 hours of starfield then I will be happy enough. If less then I will be disappointed haha
