I love the slow burn of the opening but to each his own.

xbox mods finally loaded for me!!!
Played for about an hour and I get a solid 60fps @ 1440p at max settings. Running on an i7 6700K @ stock, 1070 @ 2100 MHz, and 16GB of memory. Character models definitely didn't see the same upgrade as the environments but it looks great still.
Can't wait to play more tomorrow.

It was probably okay the first time around.
Just go out into the open world and the game is still beautiful. Stopped after 15 minutes though, kinda feel like I want to wait for some mods to get ported over.
That title screen music is still epic.. bringing back those memories.

That's odd. Most people are getting frame drops outdoors.
My 6700k at stock, n1080, 16gb randomly drops into the 50s and even high 40s sometimes. 2560x1080.
Now, OC'd to 4.4Ghz and I never get a frame drop.

If you want to skip it Alternate Start is available on Xbox and PC.
I usually start off as a vampire when I skip the normal ending. I can't help myself XD

Playing on PC on ultra. Game is absolutely gorgeous! Cannot wait to dig into this classic again. Got aurora borealis on the first night. This game has some of the best skyboxes of all time
You can't yet. Hopefully Flawless Widescreen will fix it soon.
Bethesda did their usual quality work here, I'm afraid.
Eh fuck it, I'll just download a million mods again. I was planning on doing a somewhat vanilla playthrough, but that's no fun.
Anyone got a good mod to make the combat deadlier for me and everyone else (so enemies die faster too), without making something like playing a melee character impossible against spellslingers and other ranged attackers?

I loved it the first time but it's one of those things I got no patience for watching it again

After games like Bloodborne and Uncharted how bad do the models look? Do they look last gen?
Waiting for my Pro to play . . .

Now when SE is up and running, anyone know of any Mod-sites where I can get news on how the mods for SE is coming along? I only used S.t.e.p Wiki for modding.
I like both games, but I enjoy the world in Skyrim more. In The Witcher 3 the entire world feels like a static template that actors are waiting for you to arrive in to start their movement. Skyrim feels like there was something happening in a town before you arrived, and things will still happen after you leave.

Definitely last gen. Pretty much the same poly count, maybe slightly better textures

Why, oh why did I foolishly expect any of the music would work. Didn't work in OG Skyrim and now I must suffer the same quiet digital landscape.
Switched over to mess with the PS4 version a bit. It actually looks pretty nice, though they probably had a fair bit of headroom keeping the frame rate locked to 30. Load times are a bit worse than on the PC naturally, but not that bad so far. Interested to see how the Pro handles the game in 4k.

It's more immersive that way.

If console modding is the same as PC, yes it should matter.
Some mods won't work if it's placed below some other mods (especially conflicting ones), and some others will be causing crashes if the load order isn't properly placed.

I have 31" ultra wide 21:9 screen (PC version) and I can't get the game to go full screen. Can anyone help me with a solution?

Is anybody else getting random frame drops?
1080 SC, 6800K @ 4.2, 16GB RAM etc.

Seriously, Skyrim without music kills the experience. There goes my hope this weird quirk was going to be fixed for the remaster.

Is there a guide to port over mods? Do I still need SKSE and stuff?

Are you running it from an external drive?
SchrodingerC
Member
Unfortunately yes. I know the fix, but my computer makes it difficult to move the game.

Okay, as long as you're aware that it's because you're running it from an external drive.

Wow, console load times are greatly improved.

Never finished my original save of Skyrim so I was kind of looking forward to this. Low settings are a disappointment though.
Add to that, character modules have this weird greyish moving splotches on them.
They're incredibly distracting.
Finally found a fix:

Nah, the opening was always horrible. I hated it the first time I played it years ago. Had me worried I wouldn't like the game. Then I was set loose in the open world...the game became a masterpiece.

Why is the sound all fucked up? The dragon screeches at the beginning all stop super abruptly.

Runs and looks great on pc. Running ultra on a 1060 super smooth. Loving the game all over again
I noticed that on PS4, but didn't recall hearing it on PC (though may have just not been paying enough attention).
I think it was always this way.

Ok, I thought there was something off with that and a few other sound effects. PS4 version.
It's the same with the ps4 version. Even messing with the screen size in the console's system settings doesn't change anything.
XANDER CAGE

Yeah, I just noticed that the overscan was really bad. Screen size setting on PS4 dash doesn't change it.

Played a couple hours on the PC version maxed out at 4K.
Game is certainly much prettier than vanilla Skyrim, though not as good as a heavily modded one, obviously. Console owners who had to endure the 360 and PS3 versions much be thrilled. Future PS4 Pro owners are in for a treat when they play at native 4K.
I played a ton of vanilla Skyrim when it launched so not going to delve too deep again, getting it for free was a nice perk. I might wait until the SE gets a lot of mods again and just load it up with 4K graphical mods and try it again when the times comes to see how awesome it could look down the line.

Runs at an (almost) locked 1080/60fps on a GTX960 (on Ultra). Turned the shadows down a bit and looks more stable.
Also really happy that onmodded saves from the vanilla version seem to work!

Yeah gonna wait until mods are out. I don't think I can touch Skyrim without even the basest things like the unofficial patches.
