Good to know! Thanks for sharing. I wonder how it will play with mods - will it accept SE mods or need its own special mods.
Should we read this as “TES VI is delayed”?
Bahahaha, here we go again. Honestly, I’m hoping that Microsoft will bend some resources to remastering the older games.
Also, does this mean we will need yet another script extender for running mods requiring such?
*Edit*
Derp. It appears my question was answered already. What I get for not reading thoroughly.
Just blame it on right-facing Khajiit.
AE is a cash grab by Bethesda plain and simple. They know the fans will be eager to pay yet again for another very slightly different version.
So….Lets see then….10 million customers x 30 bucks a throw = Shedloads of easy cash!
Well, they might not hook 10M this time around, but it will be more than enough to make the bait worth making.
Mods:
I doubt we can simply eject the SE disk and load in the AE disk without affecting our current LO or mod Reserve on console.
And no….A console user can not simply reload the desired mods again.
Most of us who have played Skyrim on console for years have a large number of treasured, but now ‘greyed out’, mods which are unavailable for re-download.
I won’t be destroying my game for the ability to use CC stuff I never wanted in the first place….
A.
Is it possible to somewhere buy Skyrim Legendary Edition (online version)? On Steam there's only the default Skyrim version and the Special Edition. I have some saves that are compatible with the legendary edition but because of the disk crash a few years ago I didn't get around to restoring that Skyrim version. But now I don't find the LE to be still available.
I assume that saves made on "regular" Skyrim still aren't compatible with SSE, right?
I bought Skyrim LE just a few months ago. What I did was I bought a PC DVD disk, but that doesn't actually contain Skyrim. It contains the correct version of Steam though and a code, so once you install that, it takes you to the server and you download Skyrim LE. I don't remember exactly, but I think Steam wasn't offering LE on regular downloads at the time either, but it worked this way. I also downloaded the corresponding Creation Kit.
EDIT: Just checked on Steam - activated May 4. So this is definitely still working through them.

It also says this:
Notice: At the request of the publisher, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is unlisted on the Steam store and will not appear in search.
However, I can still buy another copy for a friend. Main game - £10, Soundtrack only - £13. I am not kidding!
Is Lopov going to be playing some Skyrim this autumn? That would be so ridiculously radical & awesome, if so. I'll be playing, Kane is playing, Phon is playing... Lena's playing too, right Lena?
I only mention this because over the years, I've been the only one in Skyrim here at Chorrol. In a way this is good. I finally focused last winter and 2020 is the year I finally finished Skyrim's Main Quest.
I am not sure whether I'll be playing Skyrim yet, but it might happen. Lena is going to Skyrim shortly, but it is still within Oblivion. I suppose if I get disappointed with it, I might switch to Skyrim, we'll see. There's future in Skyrim though, but a bit further on - and I mean the Skyrim game. However, never mind the main quest or the civil war - we have no intention to tackle those!
Yes that is true Lopov, you do switch from one game to another rather abruptly. And then you'll usually only focus on that one game / character for awhile. I Hope you come to Skyrim, but then this means you'd abandon Shonta, which means Anita won't be able to meet up with him if I start ESO again. It's no biggie though. Do as you wish.
I'm not sure what you mean by the Hulkynd part, but guess we'll find out soon.
Little rebellion! Can't believe you remember that.

This does sound good I agree.
Ah, I forgot it hasn't made it's way there yet. Some day, maybe.
Skyrim SE is now available on GOG!!
I wonder if that means it's gone Steam-free. As in, no Steam overlay, no Steam involvement, no Steam monitoring. Would be nice.
Gosh, Skyrim without Steam conjures images of mirocu playing Skyrim!
The entry lists it as DRM free, so it should be able to start without the launcher. I have the older Bethesda games and Stardew Valley through GOG and you can just launch them right from the desktop icon. Or from your mod manager. Never have to open the launcher after installs, and you can straight up deny updates.
Yes, they were making it a point to say that you can disable updates. I was rather wondering whether Steam would be still running in the background, one way or the other, since even the first edition of Skyrim was already using Steam. I had bought a CD-ROM only to discover that it didn't actually contained the game - it only contained a small Steam installer that then forced me to download everything. Which was kind if beside the point of having a CD-ROM so that you would not have to download!
Although admittedly for me this discussion is purely academic since my PC cannot even start to run Skyrim SE.
It's a nice relaxing game with a touch of action. The characters are engaging and the game is well written, and mods make it even better. It's reminiscent of older games too, in that it doesn't really hold your hand. You kinda just got to figure it out or look stuff up on the wiki.
A little paladin whispered in my ear that my name was mentioned here. By him
Well, as you guys know I have my gaming routines pretty cemented by now and another open world game is not on the table. I don't even play Arena or Morrowind anymore as I'm happy enough with Oblivion and Fallout 3 and still wanna focus on them.
But good on Skyrim for going Steam-free! I always support that!
I shall make a character in miro's honor when next I play. He shall be called Narhtol the Dunmeri Nord.
A heads up to folks thinking of getting the Gog version of Skyrim SE, is that you will have issues with some SKSE-based mods. https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/y096k0/is_the_se_gog_version_still_compatible_with_most/. The short answer is that SKSE mods that have a .dll file will not work on the Gog version of the game. However SkyUI is not one of those, so it works with the Gog version. It really is a very small proportion of mods. But you might look into that before you buy.
It does appear that authors are updating their SKSE mods to be compatible however. Which ones and how soon, if at all, is naturally going to vary of course.
Saw this so I thought I'd chime in. SKSE works fine in the AE version from GOG these days. There was some weirdness with xEdit when I built my last load order, but it just needed some targeted commands.
