Previously not much of a gamer, I saw all the Starfield hype around release and decided to get an Xbox to play it. Didn't like it initially, started to enjoy it around 5 hours in, have come full circle and am getting bored now (level 35) with all the repetitive stuff.

Starfield did show me that maybe i enjoy a wider range of video games, so now I'm starting on Fallout 4, and so far I LOVE it. I've pretty much only done one mission and spent a looooooong time building my first base.

I really love open world/exploration games, especially where there is crafting, hoarding, and killing bad guys in comical ways. Just Cause was amazing for that, I liked tethering people to trains because I'm secretly a maniac.

I don’t want to come off as to PCMR, but truly Bethesda developed games need to be played on PC to get the most out of them. The mods tremendously elevate the experience. Everything from bug fixes and optimizations (that Bethesda should have done) to full on overhauls and DLC sized expansions, and everything in between.

I think I average about 200 mods simultaneously on Fallout 4 playthroughs.

xbox has mods for fallout 4 and skyrim, and when starfield gets its mod thing going itll have it for that too

Like others said, Skyrim is awesome. Earlier Elder Scrolls are awesome too, little more hard boiled. Fallout New Vegas is a masterpiece, highly recommend.

Adding them all to my list!

oh man, you gotta try skyrim when you can. there's no base building, but it's the pinnacle of exploration open world games. 12 years later and I'm still finding new shit

That sounds alluring!
