Modding Skyrim right now, but have also modded Oblivion and Daggerfall. Playing the games is just a way of testing mods, isn't it?

You are correct, no point in playing a game that can not be modded Smile

It may be sacrilege to hear it from me but I enjoy quite a few games that don't support modding. Of course they would be 1000 percent better if they could be modded. DS2 isn't even my most favourite game, I only play it because of the modding capabilities otherwise I'd probably only play it the once. That's why I skipped the scene for a year or so because of the lateness of releasing the Editor and modding tools.

I'm not even playing DS2 at the moment, instead I'm playing the Last Remnant in my free time (whilst still doing some modding work on DS2 of course). It's an unique and brilliant game which could have benefited greatly from modding support. I've never beaten it without the use of cheats which is why I'm attempting to do so this time. To get a 100% completion rate in it you do have to understand its quirky nature. I consider deliberately avoiding weak monsters and trying to get your unions killed or severely hurt as many times as possible in order to advance your stats while avoiding gaining too much experience - very quirky indeed.

Other games I've played in the recent past has been Oblivion, Morrowind, Skyrim (which I could never get into), Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Bioshock, Grandia 2, Final Fantasy XIII, Jade Empire, Summoner and Vampire - The Masquerade Redemption. It's probably not widely known but the last four do support modding.

My most favourite games however come from the PS2 (there's something off about PS3 games). They are Star Ocean 3 - Till the End of Time, Grandia 3, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII (including the International version), Xenosage 1,2 & 3, Suikoden 4 & 5. I still enjoy Star Ocean 2 and the first Grandia from the Playstation. The fact that you can play all of these games now on the PC with an emulator is a bonus.


I do not think it is sacrilege to play a game that can not be modded. I have played several some that are old and some that are new. However once I beat them or get tired of not being able to beat them I will unload the game from the computer and put the disks away in a safe place which I will forget, then when I find them at some point in the future I might play them again because I have forgotten how they worked. On the other hand a game I can mod, I tend to keep on playing them. I tend to lean toward RPGs over any other type of game. As I can hide in them from the real world.
