I only recommend modding if you’ve beaten atleast the main story, both DLC main story lines, and have a completely furnished house in the hearthfire DLC... if you mod before then it kind of ruins the experience. I completed everything (no where near 100% tho, fk that lol) and then modded and it added hours upon hours of fun/gameplay.I love Skyrim as well, though I never got around to modding it (briefly tried it once in VR, quite awesome). I saw this recently, and thought it was really interesting. Skyrim is excellent at making the map feel a lot bigger than it actually is (though it's size is definitely quite big to begin with).never tried the mods but yeah Skyrim is really good. The map is HUGE, never even got to finish all the quests despite spending so much time on that game. One quest chain I never really liked was the assassin quests, they could of made it more stealth focusedSkyrim is amazing especially with mods. Same as Fallout 4
Skyrim feels bigger because there’s also so many sub areas, ranging from small little caves to massive underground ruins... and travel is definitely slow when compared to something like GTA 5 lol
