Which engines provide the best support for modding?

From what I can amateurly gather, it's developers who offer support for modding, game engines themselves have nothing to do with it. After all modding is tied to games, so it's up to the developers how much of their game they make transparent, whether they offer tools, etc.

Although having said that, I should think that some engines are easier for developers to make their games moddable with than others.

Knights of the Chalice 2, the dev will release 3 more games in the same engine and is constantly patching/upgrading his engine.

If you want a good TB tactical RPG engine, there's nothing as good/mod friendly.

Quake and Doom?

Original DOOM allowed swapping of graphics assets and maps, but it was not possible to change game logic, everything was hardcoded in C. Modern source ports like GZDoom support scripting.
