I know first-hand that once you install the mods below, there’s no going back (in a good way). To be exact it’s extendable, so there are addons that make playing the game, and managing your character more enjoyable.
Hopefully, The Elder Scrolls Online carries the series’ tradition, and is moddable. Most people have never used addons or any kind of mods in a game, others opt for quality of life improvements, and some can’t live without them (this is me).
