What game is improved the most by mods? (beehaw.org)

I know most of the Bethesda RPGs have massive mod support, and there's games like Minecraft that have more mods than anyone can imagine. I would consider those games pretty playable in their vanilla states. Would you say there are any games that were "saved" by modding? Or that are still kept alive by thriving modding communities? What are some of your favorite mods?

Well, as you mentioned, Bethesda games in general. I always mod Elder Scrolls and Fallout games to a ridiculous degree. But some more:

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic has a great modding scene. I personally find "Start as a Jedi" essential for replays. And most of the mods (including that one) work on the excellent Android port.

Also, I love randomizers. I do a Symphony of the Night randomizer run at least 4 or 5 times a year, the Super Metroid x Link to the Past combined randomizer is amazing, and I'm finally going to dip my toe into Dark Souls randomizer soonish.

Is there are Kotor or Kotor 2 mod that... kinda takes a lot of the grinding out of it? There's so much I find appealing and have enjoyed about those games, but these days I just don't have the patience for their slow pacing with the simple combat.

I'd assume it's just lost to me though, which is alright - I've got lots to play otherwise.

If I'm gonna spend hours upon hours in RPG fights, it's almost always gotta be either a great action system or, better, a great turn-based tactics system (brb, must go hug Divinity Original Sin 2 again).

Definitely, I'd wager. Check out https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor and https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor2

There's basically a mod for everything. If you just want to play the game on easy to enjoy the roleplay and story, use the save editor and give yourself godly stats.
