i speak for myself, but i want something i can imagine a story around.

I want something with a solid and creative explanation behind it. I want something that begins to build its own world. It hasn't got to be groundbreaking code-wise, but the visuals are key for me. i need to see the art behind it and know exactly why each pixel was put where it ended up in the sprite. I want sprites that reflect good art, and vice versa.

a set of nearly identical iterations

This might be fixed with the advent of the script in Geti's zombie mod. Mods would only have one or two actors but far expanded graphical appeal with randomly applied sprites.

No one wants sketches and drafts. We want results. Playable mods, sprites. Honestly, you start with your own sketches--keep them to yourself, then start making sprites. Post the sprites and we'll critique.

I think that the only thing mods lack is a good storyline

I favour those little gems that people sometimes make.

Mods that contain an actor or two, or maybe a handful of extremely unique, creative, and aesthetic weapons, or something else altogether un-anticipated. I don't like the big faction mods at all, really, not because they lack quality, which is certainly not the case, but because I find them to be unwieldy, and I have absolutely no interest in a weapon of an actor if it is merely one of a set of nearly identical iterations (I used to play with the text turned off to cut down on screen clutter, and this meant that I chose every weapon and actor I used very carefully, as each had to be instantly recognisable in the buy menu, and to have a specific purpose or set of characteristics of use. I still do this, although the text is back.).

So basically, a mod maker who puts a lot of work into making something beautiful and unique -- simple, even -- is the mod maker whom I respect the most.
