So if one was, hypothetically, to play Skyrim – any mods that person should, hypothetically, install right away? Any other hypothetical hints?

@rixx If you can get it running, if there's a port, SkyUI. The inventory without it it a MESS.

But I'd advice completely against Skyrim. Have wasted too much time there, always thinking: "well, this has to get good SOMEWHERE, doesn't it...?" It just never did.

@TQ I already have the game, and I recently played some Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and was reminded of how much I like open world games, and that it's been a decade since I played any. Skyrim seems like the obvious choice, and I won't invest in DLC for now, so it's free for me ;)

@rixx Okay. Hope you like it - I was put off all the time buy the ugly character design, the messy inventory and the crudely constructed lore. Didn't enjoy it at all - would choose Dragon Age over it any time!
