Never played past an hour or so. I’m gonna give it a good try to get into it.

Are there any mods that people would suggest I use for quality-of-life improvements?

  • Just play it as is first time through. I wish I could go back and replay it for the first time again. I’ve dumped so many hours into this game. My biggest suggestions are just run around and have fun. Talk to everyone, explore everywhere. Don’t fast travel! Travel by foot everywhere, the things you’ll run into and random people you’ll meet are part of what makes the game so rich. Save often. You never know when you might have to go back and reload your game in the case of a needed NPC getting killed. Enjoy yourself!
