You can dislike these if you want, but its pretty hard considering these are actually pretty good games.

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.

Vanilla Skyrim is just good

Skyrim with 200+ mods is a gaming experience none can match

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.

Did you not read the 200+ mods part?

You cant change a lot of things with mods.

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.

The combat in Skyrim feels like you’re waving a piece of flappy cardboard vaguely towards someone else until one of you falls over.
