It seems I keep reading whenever anything needs to be significantly changed or improved on the game the response is "Mods will fix it".
And I'm like... but I didn't drop $50.00 on a video game so some guys could play amateur hour. I'm paying for professionals to do professional work.
I find this frequent "But mods will fix it" or "Wait for the mod...".
This all assumes a massive modding community will spring up around the game and present all these options... and when they do they'll do so with the same degree of quality and professionalism that the experts have.
I'll be the first to admit that a lot of mods are great for a lot of games... but I think any playerbase is doing itself a disservice by enforcing the belief that they should be required to fix the problems in the game they purchased...
Can't please everyone and there is an infinite list of feature requests. In this case, mods fit the bill as they allow people to customize and add their requests themselves. This isn't a case of Bethesda where they obviously released unfinished and buggy products knowing the mod community would fix it.
