inb4 "Mod Access Pass, only 14.99!". I think modding shouldn't be used to excuse developer falling short when it comes to technical and/or gameplay design. It's little weird that people give Bethesda pass on janky design and lackluster technical development because "modders will fix their game / make actual game on torso they release".
Absolutely, as much as I love mods, they should NEVER be an excuse to overlook the flaws of the base game.
