Skyrim is great because of a robust modding scene. I believe it would've long faded into irrelevancy otherwise.

Nah, even as a vanilla game, exploration is still a blast. I remember the path to Whiterun as a top 10 gaming moment. Starfield has none of that.

It's been a long time, but even "modded" I think I was just running UI and inventory stuff. Also nudes probably... Anyway point being, yes, Skyrim was good without community content/gameplay enhancement.

UI mods are necessary for BGS games. They just can't seem to learn on that front. But the world-building is usually very good. They just didn't nail universe-building.

I did mods at one point, but I have played the vanilla campaign a few times. I think it holds up just as well without mods.
