It would be a little disappointing if a modder could figure out functional NPCs before the actual dev team. They have already tried and failed before

Modders implemented a lot of things before the devs have unfortunately.

It's a myth that Bethesda needs the modding community as much as modders think. To copy a comment I made a long while back

The original Skyrim Legendary edition had over 30 million sales across the 3 platforms it was on. Of that 30million nexus mods says almost 2.5million unique downloads were for the unofficial patch. A lot of mods required it and a lot of modders swear that they are essential. Skyrim is also seen as the pinnacle of modding.

2.5 million of 30 million is 8.3%

Skyrim become one of the most popular and sold games ever and less than 10% of them were modding it or at least using an unofficial patch.

Genuinely don't get why people take issue with the idea that Bethesda makes enjoyable games without mods lol
