On Skyrim - The Unofficial Community Patches are critical for Skyrim and its expansions. SKSE is also necessary, for the reasons clakclak mentioned.

One can have a "vanilla" play experience with only "fix" mods or even graphical enhancement mods present. There are some good graphical fixes in certain texture pack and object-fix mods.

Cheers guys, I'll have a look at SKSE. CTDs are not frequent but fewer is always going to be better

Starpoint Gemini Warlords adds a ship customization ability. You can add decals to any part of your ship and even write on it.

For me it's currently Fallout 4 on the PS4 and for PC it's Planet Coaster (alpha 3), Project Highrise and Saints Row 4.

After watching a few streams / youtube vid's I decided I liked the look of Factorio
So I took the plunge and dived into it's early access
And I can say so far I'm pleased with it (175 hours in)
not only has it got the production chain of many management / building games
it's got that Transport Tycoon Deluxe joy of connecting things up
(whether in an efficient logical manner or bodged together spaghetti).

So far I'd say I've got the basics mainly figured out,
but there is a whole other layer of logic circuitry one can use to set controls
on how and when things work, that I'm only starting to dip my toe into.

Almost every day I play a round or two of The Golf Club, and then move on something else.

I was Playing Stellaris but like PJ, I am waiting for the patch now.

I have just started again on The inner sea since the new patch.

And Finally started playing X3 AP and really enjoying it.

Stalker Call of Pripyat. Seems pretty easy and not as scary/mysterious as the first one in the series.

Currently: Completionist approach to New Vegas. Back in 2010-11 I spent 200 hours and barely scratched the main plot to finally drown in Dead Money.
Bought new Vegas Ultimate in 2013. Installed and soaked in mid 2016 lel

Now I must say - this game is AMAZING. FNV has tons of quest you can end in various ways and there this whole "Mojave geopolitics" you can shake and point the Mojave in your desired direction. Quests! Hundreds or them, many hidden and many requiring certain conditions to start and of course "hand decorated" locations and exciting places to explore. What a game... now I fully witnessed it's full potential, I didn't know how quest can be interconnected in this game, wow. FNV > F4 http://i.imgur.com/n3ZCaR0.jpg
FNV has Aged well after 6 years. I'm playing with Josh Sawyer Mod (for extra difficulty), weather mod and few smaller enhancements. Nothing big, just trying to keep close to the original. With all DLCs completed, now I have a few loose ends left and making it happen - Independent New Vegas. I have 10h of game left to close my completionist approach in 400 hours according to Steam counter.

Guess I will have to do the same with Skyrim Remaster when it comes out in Novemeber. My current Skyrim status is - 500 hours tons of loose ends and unfinished main plot. I drowned generally speaking. FNV was a good warming up experience. I'll concentrate on quests and main plot instead of exploration, I know Skyrim too well to be surprised by anything new on map.

In June-July I took a break from FNV and revisited my beloved universe of Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 + dlcs. After FNV I'm immediately starting with Mass Effect 3. A warm up and refreshment before Andromeda

- Star Citizen
- Divinity: Original Sin
- Verdun
- XR and X3
- Elite: Dangerous

Because of the limited time for gaming, most of the time goes with Star Citizen. After D:OS I will finish Wasteland 2.

I'd like to say I was playing Firefall, but the devs wrecked the game totally.

I've been playing Warframe but I tend to tire of multiplayer games towards the end of summer.
Also been messing with Cities Skylines, Saint's Row 2 and Skyrim.

I've also had a dabble on Ikuruga but I'm useless at it these days - poor reaction timing. Bayonetta is the only console game that I ever fire up these days to attempt to master the dodge offset mechanic.

Chances are I'll try to get the Die Hard achievement for X3TC towards the end of autumn/fall since it's become an annual thing. I got really close last year, but died thanks to windows update. I'm thinking of testing the Linux version this year.

I've not bothered with Fallout 4 because I doubt it can live up to my expectations after spending a lot of time in FNV. During my time gaming there have been a lot of stand out moments, and FNV has a lot of them albeit they are subtle compared to the rest of the stand out moments. Finding out why Novac is called Novac for example kind of reinforces what a crap situation the NPCs are in and bring the game alive.

While I really like FNV I have a love/hate thing with Skyrim. I'm playing Skyrim atm but I am losing patience with it again and I really don't know why. Maybe it's the snow :/

Crysis Warhead. Games easy.

I just started playing X: Reunion again - Decided I'd jump in, quickly* complete the main 'plot' and run through the same for TC and AP... I didn't realise I haven't actually played an X game in four years... I did briefly install Rebirth a year or two back, but a big patch was announced the day after with new features, so I decided to wait and well, never got around to it.

*This was the plan. It's now 17 hours in, I'm still in the starter Buster and have a handful of ships trading for me... All because I can't find/decide on an M3 I want to personally fly...

Total War Attila:
- getting spanked by barbarian.

- stressed out on every turns.

- feel so good.

Never thought Total War will ever come this close to a Civ game strategic wise.
