Good games you can enjoy without mods

[Don Peste]

You need mods to play System Shock, Mount & Blade series, Fallout series, Stalker series, Elder Scrolls series, all the Troika games, etc. Or at least most people would say to play them properly. This happens specially with RPGs.

But what good™ games can be enjoyed without spending hours and hours searching for mods, mod loaders, patches, fixes, and guides with patches and fixes (And in the end uninstalling everything)? Edit: New games that "mods will fix" don't count.

thanks!

Third Stalker title - Call of Pripyat - is totally playable without mods.
Yet people still recommend Complete mod for it because that's the only mod they know.

[baturinsky]

Sengoku Rance

If you read Japan

The game that I play without mods for hundreds of hours is ToME4.
Most amazing fact is that I have managed to do this without getting any better in it. I have just died 4th time on Marauder at level 18.

 

[octavius]

Heroes of Might and Magic 2

 

[pippin]

Morrowind.

 

[Excidium II]

Being serious, barring modern system incompatibilities, every good game ever. I mean, it had to be playable and good enough for modding interest to exist in the first place.

 

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

Oblivion Fallout 4

 

[sullynathan]

Every game I've played minus the Bethesda ones.

 

[janior]

chess

 

[Mustawd]

Can count the times I've played with mods on one hand. Never really been a necessoty for me tbh.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Recently the shadowrun games were perfectly fine without mods, underrail Is still without any mods, AoD doesn't have any mods.

 

[pakoito]

Labyrinth of Tohou 2

 

[Sjukob]

I would also add The witcher series to the list , although I don't recommend to play the third one .

 

[you know what time it is]

Unless it's an ARPG or Bethesda's game, you are good to go.
