          Modding is AWESOME. I just think that out of the box, the game should be set up to run great, and that you should have to do a little digging or enable another "non-official" mode for all the mod stuff to become active, and it should be obvious that it is a mod and not a supported game mode.
          
          Basically I don't like having the options exposed to the average player because then INEVITABLY at least one of two things happens
          
          1) the player messes with the settings, putting them the way that he thinks they should be based on some entirely other game, and then claim that the new game sucks when in fact the player made the game suck by forcing it to be like something else which it isn't.
          
          2) the developer knows that certain parts of the game are terrible under certain settings (eg, certain camera options make one section of the game harder than it ought to be) and just trusts that the player will adjust the settings if he or she gets frustrated
          
          In both cases, the player suffers... sometimes you could say that it's the player's fault, but they're really both the same issue. If you give the player a bunch of options and then some of those options turn out shitty, a large percentage of your players are going to have a shitty experience.
