What does your battlestation look like? PS4/5, XBox, PC or some oddball Chinese retro handheld?

  • What is your favorite game to mod? I’m a casual gamer and never got into modding at all. I know that Skyrim has an absurdly large mod ecosystem, but other than that what am I missing out on?

    • The other Elder Scrolls and Fallout titles have the same mod situation as Skyrim.

      Doom 1 and 2 are pretty much where the modding scene got serious. You’ll find a staggering amount of mods for those games, especially custom maps.

      The Quake, Half-Life, Team Fortress, and Unreal Tournament games had large modding communities, but mostly focused on multiplayer, and now there aren’t many people to play those mods with. That’s the problem with multiplayer…

      Lately, I’ve been running a modded MechWarrior 5. The game has been criticized for seriously limiting the extent to which you can customize your 'Mechs, and the mod “Yet Another Mechlab” removes those limitations, making the game much more interesting.

      Some games without a modding community still have a few small mods. There is, for example, a Mortal Kombat 9 mod that lets you play as the bosses (Goro, Kintaro, and Shao Kahn).
