No you're doing it wrong. I really hate this modding mentality. To this day I still play all my TES mod-less. But people are so quick to turn it into something completely different where I wonder why you even played the game in the first place! I could maybe understand either fixing some minor things, or maybe you beat the game 20 times and still want something more, but when people go in being like "I'm new, what mods?"....It really grind my freaking gears...
You might want to oil your gears so that they don't grind that much.
No, I didn't play the game. I didn't like it. But with mods and some imagination I've managed to clock 350+ hours into in and have quite a lot of fun and I won't be judged for it. So what, if I use mods? No one plays games completely intact. We all make adjustments. It gets us more fun and more game to game. (Except for console gamers. Duhuhuh.)
Especially when it comes to Bethesda games that tend to not be exactly finished on release.
If I have to make a game into a different game, I probably shouldn't waste my time playing it. Also you cant decide others ability to judge others, just as I cant stop you from likely judging me a way now. I love the Elder Scrolls, but Id never want someone to endure them if they don't genuinely enjoy them too.
but that's the thing, it's each persons game to do with as they see fit (barring mmo/multiplayer games for obvious reasons), so the fact that it grinds your gears is almost hilarious. just FYI I'm currently playing through skyrim to beat the game for my first time, and I have over 150 mods installed....ooh boy does it feel good having all that extra depth and customization available
Obviously this is different if you're a console only gamer, since mods are pretty much non-existent besides map editors and stuff, but I just don't get why you would be *actively* against modding.
edit:
whoops forgot to add some suggestions
one that I like that hasn't been mentioned is:
auto harvest [http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/19618/?] pretty self explanatory, I pretty much can't go back to vanilla any bethesda game after having this mod installed, makes ingredient and dungeon looting so much smoother.
fusrodah unleashed [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=10364] this is more of a personal preference, I thought the original fus ro dah was weak as hell, this one makes it a bit too OP, but hilariously worth it, and a great hallway clearer if you need some space or companions are in the way.
