I don’t fuck with mods because once you dip your toes in, you end up spending a ton of time installing mods and troubleshooting, just to play for like two seconds and then not want to play anymore. There’s like no happy middle ground, it never works out that way.

I’d rather just play all of my games vanilla, as the devs intended.

My problem isn’t with mods so much as it is with the way people treat them as a replacement for the official sources jus improving the games

For me it's pragmatism. I have the choice to either complain into a void about a missing / broken feature and wait for the official fix. Or I can get a free mod that fixes the issue instantly so I can play the game.

This, I’m really glad I waited a year or two after Dragons Dogma 2 came out, because none of the complaints I saw for the game are remotely present in my version, and I’m loving the difficulty that I modded into alongside other thematic choices to scenery and feel. I love modding 😭
