One problem with this approach is they may have left a lot of loose ends thinking the modders would take care of it.
I'm hopeful, for example, that they left room for modders to add different subs to the game.

And that's exactly the mindset I don't like. "Being moddable" is often just a lame excuse for shoddy out-of-the-box games that need some serious tinkering to live up to their full potential - or at least be playable.
Seriously: I expect a program to be playable out of the box, and I think programmers have failed if mods are needed - and I generally don't install them. I just won't buy the game, even if mods could help it.
Add to that Ubi's obscene DRM policy, and you get a product that's not even flawed, but one you don't even own.
SHIII may not have been perfect out of the box - but I enjoy it, unmodded. And lack of DRM (and eventually Starforce, because I was one of those who bought it right after it came out) is so obviously what I expect a game that I don't even consider it as a positive aspect. It's just how it should be.
