I don't know if you'd consider this much of a mod but the KOTOR 2 restoration patches really made the game shine by bringing out some of the cut content. Some of it was awesome (like the HK factory).

Argh! You're making it VERY hard for me to not buy that Saitek x52 I've been drooling over and then heading over to GOG. QQ

Nehrim: At Fate's Edge for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is fantastic.
I have to agree:


Sure it only has English subtitles, but it's still worth a playthrough...

Roma Surrectum II for Rome: Total War was fucking epic. The Grey Wolves mods for Silent Hunter III were damn good too.

Action Half Life.
Day of Defeat.
Knights Pirates and Vikings.

My favourite Half life 1 mods ever.


Then there were some nice total conversions that made Diablo 2 much more playable again for me, just by adding new kinds of surroundings or monsters and items.

Besides that, i guess i wasnt that huge a mod-fan back in the time

There was a Star Wars conversion mod for BF1942... the name eludes me at the moment. But it was rather great and the atmosphere was really well done.

really? No mention for any Half-Life games? I'm the first one on that? THE mod monster of days past and so far no mention? Well okay. :)

They Hunger, HL1. Brilliant.
I was just about to mention a few HL mods, albeit for the sequel. Nightmare House 2, Dear Esther and Korsakovia are all excellent, especially the first and last of those.

I'm quite fond of a few Dwarf Fortress mods too, like Dig Deeper.
I look forward to the eventual revisit to Dear Ester the mod designer is doing. I was entertained by the mod for it's sheer unnerving quality, but, I was bored a lot too.

Fair enough. I enjoyed Korsakovia more, myself. Have you tried it?

All the Fallout/Oblivion total conversion mods are terrible, and i'd like to punch the makers of every single one of them in the face. Especially Oscuro's Overhaul shit.

Company of Heroes Joint Ops is pretty damn amazing. So's the alpha-zombie mod for the game.

Any MOD? then it would be SW: Jedi Knight II, since it's a total conversion mod of Quake (I'm not sure but I think it's 3) thus making it qualify and it's freaking awesome, but if you mean just mods not making an entire game in the same engine by modifying the game then it would be the mod from SW Empire at War: FoC that makes the ships look like in the movies (complete with actual movie size!) and that also allows you to have more than 25 units in space (I normally play Empire).

FreeSpace 2 Open is by far the greatest mod I have ever seen.


Not only does it include graphical and gameplay upgrades to the original FreeSpace 2 game, but it has some user-made campaigns that are simply amazing.

One such mod is called Blue Planet: War in Heaven. I've played through it about 3 times, and I think it just might be my favorite game, not just my favorite mod. The game mechanics were incredible, and I've never been so invested in how a story plays out in any video game before.

Yeah Mount & Blade Mods are great,
Any Darth Modder Mods are off the hook,
my favorite is the Lord of the rings mod for Medieval Total War 2

ACE for ArmA II. Real Combat Patch for Rogue Spear. RC Mod for Company of Heroes. Project Reality for BF2.

The premise is that Christopher, a patient with Korsakoff's syndrome [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korsakoff%27s_syndrome] is speaking to his therapist/psychiatrist/whathaveyou, Dr. Grayson. The levels consist of running about the areas he describes, getting lost as you search for the next door, using your crowbar to flail at nigh-invulnerable monsters that kill you and your framerate with equal efficiency, and infuriating platforming sections, as Grayson and Christopher speak in the background.

The gameplay as a whole is fairly irritating, and I'm reasonably sure that the level design is actually a crime against humanity.

...Sorry, I like snarking at this mod. That said? The voice acting, story (or the little sense I can make out of it), and especially the script are nothing short of phenomenal. It manages to be interesting, eerie and completely horrifying very, very regularly. I'd certainly recommend it, and if you can't stomach the mod for too long, try watching a playthrough of it on Youtube.

If you'd like to give it a try, just send a PM my way. I'll get the links (mod and playthrough) and help with installing it. I probably shouldn't derail the thread any further, though. Sorry.
