It's been a while....

Reading through the threads here and in the Mods Workshop, it looks like a lot of hard work has been put in and a lot of things got fixed, but I think the game was fatally flawed at release.

I still fire up SHIV from time to time....I think I'll stick with that.

I like 5 well enough, though it really takes a different direction than the one I want to move in. SH4 is great, but still suffers from the lack of modding that SH3 recieved. I still play 3 the most.

SH3 heavily modded and Starforce free was great.

I would say it's a fantastic game if you can put in around 50h reading the forum and another 20h to fiddle around with mods.
That is what I have done the last 2-3 weeks getting in to SHV again after I left it a long time ago. Now after 2-3 weeks Im sitting here still modding but playing a good game still figuring stuff out making it better and better mod by mod. I think I have over 20mods by now.

So yes it's a good game just not that accessible unfortunately.

Edit: ops it was 49mods xD

That's why I mentioned supermods in my earlier post. I installed supermods in SH3 and SH4, and they were great. The more individual mods you add, the greater the chance for a conflict, even if you are unaware that you have caused one.
