sheepandshepherd Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 We have a topic for our favorite video games, so why not one for our favorite mods of video games? I must admit, since I started working on my own game in Unity, I’ve pretty much given up on 2 very nice modding ideas I had for Skyrim. Sometimes I need to remind myself that some of the mods I’ve played are better than the game they were made for. For that matter, some of the mods I’ve played are better than most of the video games I’ve paid to play. Modders can do great things just as well as the ‘professionals’ can, if they have the tools they need. I was thinking mainly of quest/story mods, but eh – different games have different mods, so anything’s fair game. So here’s my list of mods that I’d consider worthy equals, or maybe even better than, the games they were made for – the absolute best mods I’ve played. TES4: Oblivion The Lost Spires The Ayleid Steps Star Wars Dark Forces Discovery at Ironfort The Dark Tide series X3: Reunion X-Tended Mod (and these guys got hired to help make the next game) Fallout 3 Mothership Zeta Crew A Quest For Heaven series Notice there’s no Skyrim on my list. Which is depressing. I really want some reason to play that game again, and it has so much modding potential. Your turn. We shall demonstrate the greatness of modding! And maybe find some fun mods in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcom Isst Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Both are mods for FreeSpace Open. I like Blue Planet for its story and Battle-of-Endor style missions done right, and I like Wings of Dawn for its obtuse style of difficulty and the weapons style that turns each mission into a fireworks-lightshow.

The Ace Railgun Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Let's see, In Minecraft it would have to be the 3DMG mod for me, and for the Stargate Network it'd have to be the Awaking mod. And more include: G-Mod (Half-Life) F-stop (Portal 2) DayZ Mod (Amra II and III) And a ton more oh and time raiders for RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepandshepherd Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 -snip- Nice, I forgot all about FS2 open. I've only played the Battlestar Galactica mods for it, but I might have to try these out some time too. 3DMG mod WHAT. WHAAAAT. Well, I know what I'm downloading next.

McJobless Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 You people have no serious taste in mods. TSLRCM, MEHEM, Gentlemen of the Row, FS2O, CMTSPv3 (using Halo CE's Open Sauce). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ace Railgun Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 TSLRCM, MEHEM, Gentlemen of the Row I completely forgot about those mods they were pretty awesome. And to add to my list is the Gehn Shard for UruLiveAgain (ULA), and the Vaal'Lin: Lone Guardian mod for ULA and Uru: Path of the Shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepandshepherd Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 TSLRCM Yes, this was my refuge from the horror that is TOR. Haven't finished it though, since I already played through the game about 20 times before the mod existed. Slowly getting there though! CMTSPv3 How have I not heard of this one? I never paid any attention to Halo modding, didn't think something like this was possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Favourite mods? Other than RRU, I don't play many mods. I did enjoy the Star Wars Battlefront II mods I played with noghiri though, I can't remember their names... I think the Dark Times was one of them. I like some race mods available for Dawn of War: Soulstorm, too. The Tyranid and Grey Knights mods are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
