The ability to customize games and create new content is so damned awesome, especially when it's done right. Which gaming mods are your favourites?
My choice is more a custom campaign than an outright mod, though there are graphical mods built into it: Mass Recall, for StarCraft II. It's a recreation of the original StarCraft in the StarCraft II engine, with all of the original audio thrown in for authenticity. It's a remarkable feat of level design... plus it saves me from having to buy the original StarCraft again.

But for the an upcoming game called "Dragon Dogma" on PC, i am eagerly hoping someone could mod it and i am more than happy to try any mod that can make the game much more pretty!

Rather it be mods on GTA V:O or Fallout 4.

I love Earthbound too much, and sadly, there's not enough of it. Playing the same games over and over again gets boring, so I'm glad that some extremely dedicated fans took their time to create story hacks.

I've heard it's quite good. More or less led into him developing Undertale, as I recall.

I love gaming, but I don't know all of the terms. Is it anything you download, like character and clothes and expansions? Stats Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 77 Topics: 12 Reputation: Credit: Likes Received: 0 in 0 posts 8 Year Member Graphical mods foe skyrim, new zones, quests, etc.
I remember oblivion's mod about an under ground world and having to go through a lot to even get there and then still having like 2 hours of quests to do.
I wish I remembered the name.

Mods are user-made tweaks to a game. They can range from overhauls of an entire game, right down to the mechanics, to minor graphical changes, such as Thomas the Tank Engine terrifying the lands of Skyrim. If it's a change to a game that wasn't made by the original developers then it's a mod.

I tried the Halloween Hack and yeah, it's really hard. Had to download Toby's guide. I got tired quickly and opted for reading a let's play (though I might get back to playing it). What can I say, he clearly had issues with JRPG way back in 2008. lol OH MY GOD NO I hate Thomas the Tank so much, the stupid cartoon is such a nightmare fuel Who thought this was good idea Stats Joined: Aug 2015 Posts: 190 Topics: 25 Reputation: Credit: Likes Received: 0 in 0 posts 8 Year Member (01-09-2016, 10:59 AM)SLTE Wrote: (01-08-2016, 11:30 AM)AceTy31 Wrote: Are mods like DLCs?  I love gaming, but I don't know all of the terms.  Is it anything you download, like character and clothes and expansions?
