@yora Gameplay is not the greatest, no, but mods do help significantly. I've got one that eliminates the rng roll combat. Cliff Racers are far less PTSD inducing when you can reliably hit the damn things. There are others that modify stealth, and so on.
Totally agreed on the world. Skyrim's locales could exist in our world. But you'd never find a collosal crab shell to build a wee mall in.
