No, you clearly don't know. I have heavily modded every single Bethsoft game from Morrowind to Skyrim, including the Fallout franchise. Without exception it is the mods that turn the base games into proper masterpieces. They fix issues, add new content, remove annoyances, increase difficulty, encourage exploration, etc. It's true that most mods are tiny things and many are pathetic and not worth using, but there are always some towering works that dramatically improve the game. For example, Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul for Oblivion or Project Nevada for FO:NV. For all Bethsoft games, I play the game once through with no mods (except UI to fix consolitis). After that I never play any of them again unmodded.
