That's exactly why I say Skyrim isn't a good game. I enjoyed my time with Skyrim, but not because of what was there when I first played it. It's not a masterpiece, it's a platform for mods, which are it's only redeeming quality.
The same isn't true when talking about Morrowind, for which mods were just a nice bonus, and New Vegas earns it's place in gaming history by being the true successor to the Fallout franchise(as opposed to Fallout 3, which was average at best).
In both those games, gear maintenance was a part of the overall flavor and never to the detriment of the respective games(especially New Vegas, where it was an important mechanic for Survival mode).
As far as Original Sin 2 goes, we do however agree that the repair mechanics do not add to the experience, so let's not derail the thread further.
