      That being true doesn’t mean much. Mods have been doing the heavy lifting for Bethesda for decades.

        Maybe modders should stop doing that so Bethesda has to care a bit more again

        Like, did they ever even look at the Unofficial Skyrim Patch and thought it would be nice to put these fixes into the game officially?

        They are too damn lazy to use the work others have done for them. Come on

          They actually have hired modders many times and I believe at least on a few games incorporated things originally from mods, so that’s not a great example. I get your point, but heavily modded Bethesda games have been some of my favorite gaming experiences ever, so I probably hope it never goes away.

            If that’s the case, then I guess I retract my statement.

            And don’t get me wrong here, I don’t want modding to go away either, there has been some fantastic stuff done by the community.

            It would just be nice if there was a bit more polish here and there. I’ve played both Fallout 3 and New Vegas, both without problems.
            But Skyrim is the one game I can never actually finish, because there’s always some stupid bug or glitch that prevents me from progressing at some point, with or without the patch.
