I’ve heard that before, but even vanilla combat doesn’t bother me.
Let’s playthrough. I did unarmed that was fun as hell, especially

I might add some combat mods next time I play, since I play through it every 2 or 3 years, but that world is so big and there’s so many different ways to interact with it that the combat is a non-issue for me.
Especially with monster mods, I feel like you can definitely set up a situation where you can’t just hack and slash, you actually have to use the game mechanics and Dodge monster attacks while you’re fighting, make sure your fatigue is full.
If a minivan sized mud crab attacks you moving faster than a cheetah, haha, you have to make sure you know exactly how to fight back.
I never even realized that people don’t like the combat until stumbling across some reviews years after I played.
Even if you never fight in the game, it’s worth it just to live inside it. Don’t complete the game but go live in Morrowind for a couple weeks and just ignore the combat.
