Games such as Unreal, Half Life 2, Battlefield 2 and Oblivion are all 'highly moddable' and you can start off creating simple elements such as a new 'skin' for your character or a level map based on existing game elements and then build up confidence to create whole new levels with customised elements.

 Boss (video games) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In video games, a boss is a particularly large or challenging computer-controlled character that must be defeated at the end of a segment of a game, whether it be for a level, an episode, or the very end of the game itself (final boss).
Video games were viewed simply as contest against the machine, where the only goal was to accumulate points until the machine inevitably won.
Games may instead have various scenarios which serve as boss "replacements," however, such as requiring the player to defeat a larger-than-normal amount of (often strong) enemies in a limited period of time or a confined space with little cover.
