If you ever needed an example of why modding is so important for the longevity of a game, look no further than Skyrim. It's been out 13 years and is still going strong, in part due to the base game and the sheer joy of spending time in it, but partially due to how well supported it is from a modding standpoint. A massive, vampiric new mod has just arrived and it's a big one with tons of content to explore, and what's more it has Bethesda's official blessing.
