Paid mods are making a comeback.



Here's a link to the standard Skyrim's store page, which was removed (If you have to pick between the two, get the original. The modding community is huge relative to SE):

Typically, I'm a massive fan of Total War games in general, and Warhammer as well as that.

The game itself, is quite fun. However, what you get the base game is the choice of 4 races essentially - with CA now charging ~£14 for the latest DLC installment of Beastmen. If you weren't lucky enough to preorder the game, you're already paying an additional ~£25 for Chaos and Beastmen. Two of the core races of the games setting. God knows how much it will cost for any additional races to be added later, let alone additional campaigns / maps.

Would definitely avoid, or wait a few years until you can get it for pennies from somewhere else.

Vanilla Skyrim: 7/10.

Modded Skyrim: 11/10.

Pay for Mods Skyrim: 0/10.

11/10 would not pay to mod again.

On paper, this game is a good idea. Even the original free-to-play was good, although they've ruined it in my opinion.

The unbalanced classes and mechanics of a potentially good game ruin one of the main factors, building. Yes, I do realise that it's an FPS as well, but a major portion of the game is either ignored or abused because of classes that irradicate the need for these particular elements.

I have put a decent amount of time into the game to make a fair-ish judgement I feel. There was a time whenever I really enjoyed Ace Of Spades. This was followed by a patch that caused every attempt to find a game void, or if successfully you would find yourself in a server with two people - which essentially led to me not playing anymore.

The length of time that this was a problem was far too long, and in my opinion damaging to the community of the game.
