There are actually a lot of popular mods in the community that make the game significantly harder to play. When a developer like Bethesda releases GECK or similar modding tool the community is going to make tweaks to make the game play differently. I love the game the way Bethesda made it, and I played it through the first time without mods. But playing while playing through the second time playing around with different mods is a lot of fun for me, and the reason i got the game on PC and not Xbox 360 As far as mods for Fallout 3 go, there are definitely ones that are total cheats and others that just change things around a bit.

These are some good looking recommendations. While I may eventually try these out, for the moment, I'm enjoying Fallout 3 as it is. Any thoughts about the "ethics" of mods, and whether or not they are considered "cheats"? i.e. You're not playing the game the way the designers intended? In this case, Bethesda has given away mod tools for that explicit purpose, so how does that fit into it? I heard Jeff Green (former Editor in Chief of Computer Gaming World, now a game designer at EA) talking on some podcast about how he used to question decisions that designers made in a "why didn't they think of that" kind of way. Now that he is on the design side, he's realized that EVERYTHING has been thought of. Well played, sir. These are some good looking recommendations.
