I miss morrowind.

Sure, the technical visual quality was ugly as sin but the art direction itself had this otherworldly feel. Most of the complexity is gone in future tes games. Too much hand holding.

I quickly realized why I never replayed skyrim much. I traded back my copy of skyrim remastered. The guy at gs has known me for years, I got a full refund. Pretty sure he wasn't supposed to that but hey, there are perks to being a good customer.

The witcher franchise has a better story, I just dislike the slow, janky combat and I dislike item crafting in rpgs.

Pretty sure they hiked up the price of the old Skyrim's DLC too so people would buy them in an attempt to get the new one for free. What a cash grab.

Great games, shame about the awful company and its shady practices and the community that blindly worships anything they release. -_-


Exactly the reason I haven't bought Skyrim and never will, I'll stick to my "free" version I think. Nor will I ever pay for a Bethesda product again. Awful, awful company. Yeah let's let modders fix all the bugs we can't be bothered to then try to profit off it too.

1: Skyrim SE is free for those who have the game and the DLC on Steam. It's only a rip-off for for Xbox One and PS4 because consoles allow this kind of behavior from developers. Bethesta can get away with charging people for a full game to play an old one, just because... what other choice do you have? You don't; there's choice. An Xbox 360 copy of Skyrim won't work on Xbox One, and a PS3 copy won't work on PS4. If you're on PC it's different, in which case you can still buy the old Skyrim and play it just fine. #PCmasterrace

2. Most mods for Skyrim will not work with Skyrim SE, because SE is 64 bit and the vanilla Skyrim is 32 bit. Anything that relies on SKSE will not work, as that needs to be completely rewritten. How difficult a task that is and how long it will take, I have no idea. My estimate is that it will likely take months before we see a new SKSE for the new 64 bit Skyrim.

3. Trying to load your modded Skyrim saves with Skyrim SE isn't disastrous. Skyrim and Skyrim SE are treated as two different games, not as a patch for the same game. This means you can copy your Skyrim save to Skyrim SE, and still keep your modded vanilla Skyrim game intact. The lack of mods in Skyrim SE may cause bugs when loading the files, but I tried it with my modded savegame and it was still playable.

4. Skyrim SE doesn't actually look that much better than vanilla Skyrim with high-res textures and enhanced lighting mods installed. In fact, the only real difference that jumped straight out was that with Skyrim SE, I was able to crank the anti-aliasing up a notch. In fact, with TAA on instead of MSAA, I noticed things looked a little too blurry, and I didn't like that very much. 8x MSAA on vanilla Skyrim looks better, in my highly subjective opinion.

I bought it as I've never owned it (Never had a 360 or Ps3) AND I got it for £20 brand new. Plus I wanted to see what all the fuss is about...but I have raged on it. God damn it stop chasing me!! I only stole a cabbage!! Calm yourself! And I CAN'T FAST TRAVEL YET!? *trips over a hillock*. FUDGE YOU YOU FAKE HILL!!

Needless to say my fiance was amused.

...I'm sure speaking about it wouldn't be much effective. I already feel guilty enough for being unable to help anyone with their problems, because my advice sucks. :oops:
