Remember guys, Verbatim is the one who made a thread that went into 5-6 pages stating about how much he doesn't care.

Well not really. Saying that it's just vaguely "cheating" doesn't really make sense. You're implying that the only type of mods are ones that make the game easier.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
i wouldn't put it past you to actually believe that, no
Thanks for your valued opinion.

How?
How would something like a graphics mod be "cheating"? How is adding more content like questlines "cheating"? How is fixing problems with the gameplay "cheating"?

Well fun is fun, right? Why care if you get it "naturally" from the game or if you get it otherwise?

I asked how they were "cheating". That isn't an answer.

Back to Skyrim:  Again the consoles forced Bethesda to limit their options when it came to things like the Civil war and graphics. 

They eventually came out with improved graphic packages that modern further improved upon.

If it bothers you that it's "unnatural" or whatever, can you still say you're having fun?
I mean, is the problem that you're not happy with the game being fun in this particular way, or that it's not fun because of this?

You might literally be the most retarded user on here.
That isn't cheating. Like, at all.

1. act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage

i guess gameshark and action replay shouldn't be called "cheating devices" because you don't have to use them for "cheating" under that extremely shitty, narrow definition

Biiiig difference between using a GameShark to use cheat codes, and getting a pirate mod for Skyrim to enhance your fun.

Those things specifically can be classed as cheating because they fit into the definition.

Mods that add new content, make it look prettier, or fix something aren't "cheating", and aren't even remotely the same as using a gameshark. Like, not even remotely the same.

No, your comparison still sucks.

>GameShark exploits cheats

>Mods take existing material and transforms it into a new feature, like the Lich Wraith form or a content creator can create a brand new questlines for you.

I'm sorry, but lol

Anyways, I dunno. You seem to be suggesting that "artificial fun" equates to no fun at all. I mean really, this is basically what the vanilla game is anyway, it's the same thing. Regardless of what's put into the game, people use their imaginations and deduce their own idea of fun from it. Bungie may not have initially intended for people to speed around Sandtrap on ghosts pretending they're F1 drivers, but if people find this entertaining is it any different from modding? You're using their game and making your own fun from it.
