Let's talk about modding.
Purist: You prefer vanilla games. How they ship is how they were meant to be played, and any modding ruins the integrity of the game.
Modder: Games are meant to be tinkered with. Many games, such as Skyrim, ship with really powerful content-creation tools and to ignore them is to miss out on half the game. It would be an insult to the designers to [i]not[/i] mod a bear mount into the game, or make a gun that fires sharks in another.
I used to be a purist, but now I tend to play the vanilla game then replay with mods. I played through two Borderlands 2 playthroughs before discovering Gibbed and CheatEngine, and the mods make it a really fun way to keep playing.
So what are you?

Lol vanilla

I'm a purist, however that could change if developers decide to have mod support on their games for the Xbox One.

Mods can be good so long as they improve upon issues and add material, if you're just messing with the game's code and screwing with vital settings just to make the game absurd and broken, then I don't like it.
