I'll start - even though I have owned the game since launch, I have never been to Blackreach. Don't even know how to get there.

Factions like Stormcloaks, etc.? I think there was at least one point where I tried to finish the civil war quest thing, but then the dragonflight mod came out and I completely lost interest, understandably. What's a genocidal incursion when you've got dragons to ride over it all? I mean, the ability to wreak true and unmitigated havoc on the Imperial threat was the only thing missing from said mod (story-wise, that is; ofc you could fly around and raze every praetorian cosplay camp, but the narrative effect omitted how you did it). Just, wrap it up with a dragonfire bow, and get back to the bigger stage of cosmic, existential threats. Easy peezy, but no. 😅

Yea I tried once too but lost interest because of a lot of other mods. That is the sad part about mods in my opinion. Mods are great, makes the game so much better and makes it possible to play so much longer but also removes the fun with the original quest. I mean there must be a reason most pc users do not play the big quest haha

I'm not sure that's the case, honestly. I've put over 500 hours into the game over the years, easily, and though I've played through the main quest a number of times, I just personally don't give a shit about viking Braveheart 🤣 The base game itself is epic enough that simple things like all-out war seem petty when you can shout magic better than Darth Vader can crush throats.

Haha maybe it is just me then who get bored of the original content. I even try to spice it up with mods, like making the factions actually fight at random places, making the combat harder, like they can actually snipe me, one bandit in a tunnel got so op I had to get creative or I would just die the moment I was peeking in. Or maybe it is like you I do not care enough of the characters, I think other stuff is a lot more interesting to do 😂 and some mod quest is super cool, I actually install them without checking what it is so I will get surprised. One time I got randomly kidnapped and became a slave (nothing sexual, a true working slave) for a dummer in an underground city and I didn't know if this was a mod or not until a bit later when I didn't recognize the voices
