Breja: I guess I should post this in the "unpopular opinion" thread, but I really don't give a crap about mods, barely ever bother with them, and I like the Elder Scrolls games just fine without them. If it's a choice between Skyrim DRM-free with fewer mods available and all the mods in the world + Steam, I'll happily take the DRM-free option any day.
TES is super popular on console as well where mods aren't really a thing, and I bet tons of PC gamers don't use them either. I only use UI type stuff. It's just the people really into modding who assumes everyone does it.

Also Skyrim works just fine with Nexus Mods, from what I know. The Steam Workshop is optional I believe.

I guess the majority (which I agree, I too think most play unmodded) just play and leave it while modplayers are on to it for years (decades by now taking Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3 into account) to come. Which is probably why with some is the perception that the majority plays modded; because chances are its the case 5 years+ after release counting only active or semi active players.

nightcraw1er.488: Yes, please take our monies so that we can have only half the modding capabilities whilst the other half is hidden behind creation club and workshop, we love inferior products here, that’s why we pay more!

fortune_p_dawg: sounds good to me! luckily i don't give a shit about any of that and would STILL buy it. :D

Anothername: *checks the clock* Ok Gog, you had your fun. Open the gates and: Release the Skyrim!

Its overdue.

fortune_p_dawg: yes gog, hurry the hell up.
Amen :D

And also yes, as Nightcrawler said; your wife is a saint (but the food choice sounds delicious ;) ).

I tried modding Morrowind recently. I couldn't figure it out. The pretty graphics lured me in. But it would crash and throw errors.

I almost never mod. It seems every time I do, I'm disappointed. One thing fixed, something else broken. Ugly or non-fitting graphics, errors, broken saves, an inferior product, and wastes of time are what I usually end up with.

But some games some even better with mods. Co8 for Temple of Elemental Evil added a lot of fitting content. Hardwar's mod/unofficial patch gave it new life and better graphics, and Myth 2 had tons of brilliant mods.

But it's certainly better to support missing than to not. But if u had to choose, DRM-freeness will make a game last a lot longer than being glued to a store for a gimmicky feature.

Just use OpenMW

The lost mods (due to stuff like Workshop/Creation Club) are kind of like a sunk cost at this point, not a reason to not bring the game here DRM-free.

I thought it was still in pretty tough beta. I'll take a look.

I played it 2 years ago with OpenMW main story + expansions. I got to the end without a problem and it was much better then the default way to play. Also I was able to play on linux in a native way.
I think they leave it in beta for the engine, not to play morrowind.
In OpenMW you can even use a lot of mods. I had to use a mod to translate the game into italian and it worked great (I even modified the mod to remove a little thing with no problem).

OpenMW is awesome, i want some version of this for Oblivion or Skyrim but the developer already said he will not do it.

Well, it is not that easy to reverse engine a game engine. I think it was possible for Morrowind only because the CS was the same that the developer used to create the game.
I'm not sure Oblivion and Skyrim CS are really the same that the developer used and I'm not sure it will be easy to do the same.
Also the same guy want to focus on the engine to give other people the ability to create a Morrowind-like new game.

Maybe in the future someone else will do it, or maybe bethesda will release the engine code...
