I have a large library of steam games, but yet always come back to Garry mod and ravensfield. I keep coming back for the modded content and every other game is excellent, don't get me wrong. But a lot of big games like RD2 and watchdogs 2 just seem like such a long time investment. What 2 games do you infinitely come back to?

So I'm going for longevity. These two definitely wouldn't be my first choices for top games.

Elder Scrolls Online and Minecraft. There is enough story, social, and creativity that I would hope it works out.

Once Baldurs Gate 3 gets solid modding, and assuming modding is allowed, that takes a spot.

Minecraft is not on steam unfortunately and I don't know how wise it is to choose a multiplayer only game like ESO since they will eventually shut down the servers

Ah forgot the steam part.

I figure I would get bored of ESO in 15 or so years when it closes. I suspect any game will lose me at a point. For the time it's online, it would offer a lot.

I'll sub Minecraft out for No Man's Sky. Valheim was close to taking the spot but it just doesn't ring as fun when friends aren't around. I would pace myself big time.

Does BG3 not? I used tons of mods that seemed regularly updated.

I could be wrong, I haven't modded yet, but I think official support is in the future. That's when I suspect it will really shine.

I just looked it up, and the first thing that came up was a ton of articles about a series of tweets Larian put out today explaining that they're working on official mod support, but that they'd like to ask people to stop being toxic assholes and threatening their devs.

So I guess they don't have official mod support, but the mods that are and have been out for months are amazing. I highly recommend Native Camera Tweaks, WASD Movement, 5e Spells, and Hexblade Warlock (gish class that makes your spellcasting modifier and melee stat both Charisma so you're SAD instead of MAD on both Str/Dex and Int/Cha). There's also a bunch of other QoL mods that are worth getting too.
