What game company from your childhood do you remember with fondness? (reddthat.com)

I was thinking about how I remember Maxis fondly, and I got to wondering what other people's experiences were like!

Is your favorite still around? Are they still the same, or did they "change directions under new management?"

The 3 Bs, baby. Blizzard, Bioware, and Bethesda.

Blizzards dead to me, Bioware fell off after dragon age 1, and Bethesda refuses to take its limiters off anymore (no drugs)

I'm enjoying heavily-modded DA:I, but I do feel like DA1 had some better writing and direction.

The only thing I can remember from inquisition is trudging through some high level desert looking for high level rocks (which very blatantly cut their drop rate from earlier zones) so that I could make an armor and weapon that still sucked and looked like pajamas.

also that the party loves to litter

Any recommendations for mods? I'm putting together a new build for it ahead of my semi-annual replay of the trilogy

Yeah, definitely!

I'll skip the skins, because I assume you'll want to pick your own that fit your tastes, but you can find all of these at NexusMods. Some of my favorites are:

Speed Launch
60 fps in cutscenes
No fall damage
Infinite Respec Amulet
Party At The Winter Palace
Shorter War Table Missions (75%)
Party Banter Time (5-10min)
All Bard songs for CC Music
Stay still in CC - Natural Edition
Face Ash Begone
Bugs Be Gone
Skills Enhanced by NinjaReborn
Inventory Capacity

You'll also need Frosty Mod Manager to set all those up (they seem to work for me in the order I listed) and Frosty Fix.

Set up the mods and load order in FrostyMM, and close.
Launch Frosty Fix.
Choose the profile/pack you want.
Mash go.
FrostyMM should open back up.
Open the pack you created.
The game should launch automatically with the mods correctly enabled.

All these mods feel "vanilla-ish" and shouldn't spoil the original experience to any significant degree.
