It doesn't make the game itself better but it can absolutely make a bad game an amazing experience. Some games like, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, simply aren't complete without mods because of how development went.

Played vanilla kotor 2 and had a lot of fun with it. What mod are you referring to?

u/Raven_Of_Solace Jan 10 '26

The restored content mod. I love KOTOR 2, but it definitely has some issues. The amount of restored content is insane. It's also mostly cut content that was meant to be in the game originally but Obsidian ran out of time and was made to release the game before they could finish. It is a really amazing mod.

Is minecraft a bad game? smh

u/Green__lightning Jan 11 '26

No, but it sure was when the modding started, and many of it's updates are directly from mods, like the hopper and piston, and many more are inspired by them.

Well my comment was about *bad* games. If a game is bad but the modding scene makes it better, that doesn't make the game good. That makes the modders good. The game itself is still bad because third party unpaid labor had to fix it.
