MODERATORS
I can't tell you how many times I've imagined implementing economic simulations in Skyrim just because the vapidness of the base game bugs me. If you're going to insist on heavily involving capitalism in your medieval fantasy, at least have it be capitalism.
Being able to get loans that have interest and potentially put you in serious debt that gets people chasing you down would be sick (I'm either game, but Starfield in particular)
I find there's a fine line with this. We could easily make the games not-fun by accurately balancing them into being capitalist. You can mod Skyrim to the point that a single mistake results in you becoming a drug addled destitute beggar but that's only fun for some RP purposes and is NOT fun for basic gameplay overall after you've experienced its content once.
A substantial difference in Skyrim is that you're still the dovakiin or however they spell it. There is plenty of reason for you to be able to escape destitution pretty easily, and my point wasn't that it would be some sort of political statement but simply a more interesting sandbox.
