I, as it seems do most others, feel the vanillia game is a bit lacking in content. But, what Bethesda has provided is an excellent canvas for modders to paint uppon. I think, possibly too optimistically, that this was the intent of the makers of this game. They focused on the graphics and smooth interface, providing only a basic plot line, knowing that there would soon be more content available then they could possibly imagine, much less create. My other point is in regards to the complaints about the weapon skills. I hear a lot of people lamenting the parsing down of varied weapon skill, and that "axes are not blunt". If I read that again I'll be inclined to drive a pen through my eye. Not that it's not an accurate statement, just that it is over mentioned. But I digress from my point. Having studied and trained with melee weapons for about a quarter-century, I have learned that the differences in the use of any given weapon type is very slight. An axe is used in essentially the same way as a sword,or a big club, for that matter, with some minor tweaks. The, realistic, weapon skills should be one-handed, two-handed, and light. Hand to hand is a viable skill, provided that script is added such that one immediately dies if they even consider fighting an armed opponant of considerable competance. We developed opposable thumbs for a reason. Well, those are my two basic and initial points on the quality of this game release. The first being the most significant. Those of us who want a more complex, detailed world can find it via mods. The designers knew this. There are some out there that don't want that, and are happy with a simplistic shooter. They stick with vanilla, and the modders give wonderful things to the rest of us. After the weight of mods that came out for Morrowind, the game designers had every reason to anticipate this scenario.

I am looking for the original version of Saurion's Red Light mod. The description on PlanetElderScrolls says he removed content due to the regulations on that site. Is the original available anywhere. Censorship rubs me the wrong way.
