I know most of the Bethesda RPGs have massive mod support, and there’s games like Minecraft that have more mods than anyone can imagine. I would consider those games pretty playable in their vanilla states. Would you say there are any games that were “saved” by modding? Or that are still kept alive by thriving modding communities? What are some of your favorite mods?
I’d also say this for Hearts of Iron 4. The vanilla game has gotten increasing amounts of flavor over the years, but the kaiserreich, road to 56, etc total conversion mods added a lot more replayability to the game
