That really is a pretty substantial part of it too. Modding at its core requires a good game, and everything else comes from people wanting to change parts of it, that aren't necessarily to their liking. Bethesda somehow assumed that people would be willing to reimplement half of the game at launch. That just won't slide anymore, for 70$
Yep. And the good mods take a while to make too. If your game is dead 3 months after launch, who's going to still be motivated to keep working on a big overhaul type mod?
