Bad games fixed by mods

Oblivion:

A truly magical game, full of charm. Unfortunately, the game is straight up broken mechanically, probably the worst leveling and item system I’ve ever seen. It’s ridiculous seeing random bandit mobs running around in Ebony or Glass armor. Thankfully, it can be fixed by removing level scaling from enemies and all leveled quest rewards and items.

What other games do you think suck in their vanilla form but can be turned into a good game thanks to mods?

Minecraft, because vanilla is predictable and boring.

FO4 to fix the damn bugs.

FO4
My biggest problem with it were the glitches and the building limits for your settlements not allowing you to fully change them without reaching the building max

Payday 2, easily the buggiest game i ever played

Hoi4. Without mods I would’ve gotten bored with the game after a few dozen hours of gameplay.

Also there's one peculiar example that comes into my mind

Bugged, uninvested, too fastly released piece of shit.
Modders did so good job, that they were officially hired by devs to fix this game, and even they added new mechanics, quests & other stuff.
Honestly G3 is the worst part of game by storyline, but music & world map
They had at least money to hire IRL orchestra.

The German version of the game is basically unplayable cause they censored all the swastikas and even obscured Hitler’s face .

If by bad, you mean great gameplay, story, etc but are broken on a technical level: Fallout: New Vegas, KOTOR 2, Oblivion, and MCC come to mind.
If by bad, you mean the gameplay, story, and characters have to be saved by mods: Baldur's Gate 3, Horizon: Zero Dawn, No Man's Sky before the massive updates, Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Fallout NV.

 

[Loliraider]

Fallout NV.

Yeah, New Vegas really falls apart because of the karma system. You just can’t play a proper evil character. Even if you’re running around as a cannibal who steals and murders nonstop, you still end up as a saint because killing fiends and feral ghouls gives you an absurd amount of positive karma. A karma-fix mod is basically mandatory if you actually want to enjoy NV.

Kotor2 was fixed by mods cause it was unfinished

No, unfortunately even with all mods it's still pretty bad.

History mode was peak in Smash Brawl, but combat was so slow and rng based (Tripping)

Certainly not a bad game but mods are the reason why it's so popular.

 

[1Disturbed]

Witcher 3 is unplayable without mods to fix the combat, although even with them it's not worth playing.

The game is unplayable without player-led peace conferences
