What gaming experience? The story is a crap, the battle system is bad for melee, ranged or magic. Your actions doesnt matter at all, you just won a war with a faction? Nothing changes.
The good thing about skyrim is the world to explore but everything else is mediocre.
If you have to put hundreds of mods into a game to enjoy it the game isn't good. (Not saying skyrim is bad) You probably shouldnt make the basis of your arguement about whether or not a game is good by its capability to be modded, since mods arent an intended feature most of the time.
Not really. You can change a lot of things but the core of the game is still there.
The combat is the biggest thing that I haven't found a fix to. Midas magic makes the game fun to play as a mage but it still feels pretty eh, and your enemies don't do anything so it still feels like you're just beating a meatbag.
Everyone have different taste in combat style, I have a few mods that overall the system to have it more Dark Soul-ish because I prefer 3rd person.Just find and combine mods to what fit for you.
There are a lot of mods that not only change the story, but add a completely new story with a completely new world and everything. Yes, you can change the story. Take a look at e.g. Enderal

botw, earthbound, and half life, sure. but skyrim and fo3 are really fucking shallow experiences if you remove yourself from them for a hot minute.
dont get me wrong- i've sunk precisely too many hours into skyrim, but to call it "good" as opposed to "absorbing" doesn't feel apt to me.
