I rarely ever mod my games outside of fan patches to fix bugs but I’m looking for games that have some quality mods.
Project Reality for Battlefield 2 comes to mind. That’s a quality mod that’s now it’s own standalone game.
The Living Desert for New Vegas, because I could follow those guys around and see what they do forever. It’s so cool to give the game more organic interactions.
Plus, it interacts with Functional Post Game Ending. The base game feels downright inconsequential without those two installed.
Requiem Overhaul for Skyrim completely revamps how the game is played, you need to mostly pick an archetype, casting spells with armor on institutes a huge penalty in mana cost etc unless you pick talents for it that aren’t available until late game, damage has been tuned way up for everyone so you have to ideally dodge most attacks and enemies drop loot that makes sense like their heart and some claws instead of finding 50 coins and a mace on a wolf.
Just installed it yesterday but the Multiverse mod for FTL basically turns it into a sequel and improves every aspect of the game. Go from 10 playable ships to around 100, have to actually consider choices instead of “I will blow everyone up for marginally more resources” and just an overall more Star Trek vibe with races having different factions etc.

I like that, D&D mechanics are something I appreciate.
Yeah it brings it more in line with the earlier games, like you need fire magic or silver weapons to damage undead and the enemies/dungeons are level locked, so you can absolutely stumble into an area that is way beyond your character to handle. It’s been a while since I did a playthrough but I usually wouldn’t even try the first main quest dungeon until level 15-20 and had to run around killing bandits around Whiterun for a while.
The only caveat is that you will be getting your shit kicked in for a while and it’s very possible to get 1 shot by a 2h weapon, arrows do a ton of damage as well if you aren’t wearing heavy armor.
Requiem is great, but after playing with it for some time, I went back to Ordinator. I prefer the way it deals with unique abilities. Couple that with class mods (like that one that adds Shor’s Realm, where you pick bonuses and debuffs based on previous TES’ classes, and you have a robust system. It also gives Speech some use in combat, by giving you bard-ish spells and stuff. Was finally able to play my bardbarian that way.
too many to list.
modding is praxis
nobody mentioned Long War so i’m mentioning Long War. ever think 30-40hrs wasn’t enough for your XCom 2 campaign? ever thought it was kind of immersion breaking that these incredibly well equipped aliens couldn’t swat down a ridiculously high-profile smash-n-grab resistance op foolishly headquartered in a single hovercarrier? Long War turns your chaotic gunfight missions into guerilla insertion and extraction missions, broadens your conflict from a months-long to a years-long endeavor, makes it MUCH harder to eject the aliens from earth while simultaneously making it a much slower process for the aliens to complete their doomsday plan, really makes you undertake missions on a global scale as opposed to the one- or two-region conflict that the base game tends to become, extends the available troop roster while forcing you to actually use more than an elite core of troops (because you have way more bases to cover), extends the max troops on a mission from 6 to 12 while allowing the aliens to field a LOT more forces (think 40+ enemies in some situations), making for some really HUGE fights near the endgame. really a spectacular rebuild mod, two thumbs up.
another really good mod for Stellaris is the Star Trek: New Horizons mod, a total conversion mod that was so good paradox got the envy and put out Star Trek: Infinite, which is just their own stab at a total conversion mod for Stellaris except they expect you pay 30 bucks for it, plus DLCs. New Horizons very worth it, give it a shot if you like trek and already have Stellaris
Fall from Heaven for Civilization 4 is a fantastic overhaul mod that turns it into a fantasy world with interesting factions and characters and mechanics.
Last time I got a copyright letter was for torrenting Civ 4 in 2015 without a VPN. The game came out in 2005.

I’ve never used a VPN before. Are there any that are free or open source?
Proton VPN is now free and open-source and (I believe) they just made it so you can use it without an account.
