i disagree with the last point. mods definitely helped, but skyrim was a complete cultural phenomenon even to people who had no idea what mods even were. it was extremely highly praised and sold great on consoles. i think it would have been a classic regardless

really? hmm weird, because 95% of my playthroughs are unmodded, and i still play it regularly. i would be extremely shocked if im the only one in the world not using mods

and hell, before mods were on consoles there were STILL plenty of people playing it

this doesnt make any sense at all. they made the game

they are literally working on tes6 as we speak 😂
