Every now and then I get the urge to start a new Fallout campaign until the moment I remember how many hours of my life I need to spend downloading, unpacking, installing and organising mods just make it barely playable.

but that's the game!

you reinstall the game after a few years
boot it up
think to yourself "hmm, this really needs mods"
you spend 2-5 hours scrolling through nexus
then another hour or 2 fixing load order, conflicts, etc.
then you boot it up again
"hell yeah, this is rad now!"
never launch it again
then uninstall it a month later

9/10

I spent years doing that with Morrowind before I wised up. I actually download OpenMW recently just to take a look, and had the most "been there, done that" feeling ever from playing a game. I gave up on Bethesda after Skyrim and never looked back, and my gaming life became all the better for it.
