Wonder if this would break all your mods though.

The question I'm waiting for the answer to.

 

[Teknoman]

C'mon steam sale for dlc!

 

[Jarth Mader]

If I have my game set to not auto update on Steam can I avoid having this foisted upon me?

 

[robotrock]

yoooooooooooo

If I have my game set to not auto update on Steam can I avoid having this foisted upon me?

It'll be a separate entry in your steam library to the vanilla game.

 

[JimJamJones]

Bethesda rocking it again!

Can't even imagine the backlash if they block NexusMods.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

C'mon steam sale for dlc!

Lol Bethesda DLC sale.

Time to buy the legendary upgrade.

 

[kris.]

damn, based move on bethesda's part. pumped to try this out.

 

[ShinZed]

Hey guys did you know that the Steam Sale is on the 23rd?

Buy Skyrim for $12.49 or whatever and get the remaster free later.

Hey guys guess what game isn't going on sale this time?!

 

[120v]

Great news... been having a lot of issues with texture mod installs to the extent I was considering the ps4 special edition. Then I find out I'm getting it on pc for free...

I'll buy the ps4 version anyway just for the gesture

 

[Dr.Acula]

Hmm...

Two questions.

Are they going to fix issues related to going over 4 gig of RAM usage, and are they going to provide official VR support?

 

[jediyoshi]

That's cool

 

[7DollarHagane]

I never bought the dlc for skyrim.. They are never putting it on sale now are they..

 

[BasilZero]

YES

Good thing I bought the anthology collection last year lol

 

[veloxStrix]

I'm sure no one cares to hear me complain more about this whole thing, but this free upgrade pretty much confirms that nothing new is really happening with the game. Just upgraded shaders and textures. The only thing this really does for me is break all my existing mods - most likely.

That being said, some people will be really excited for me. A great move on Bethesda's part, just not for me at all.

Likely won't actually break existing mods, since the Skyrim BSAs will have lowest priority.

 

[W1SSY]

Time for me to see what Skyrim dlc I may be missing.

 

[Fredrik]

Yeah, I imagine this is the case, but still.

And here's hoping they put Legendary on deep discounts again. I think it was that you could pick it up for 75% off the last couple of big Steam sales too.

Yup I got it for like $10. Check this years Summer Sale, it'll be there for sure.

 

[Bluth54]

Wonder if this would break all your mods though.

I would think it would almost certainly break most, if not all mods.

Smart for Bethesda to give this away to PC owners, I imagine if they didn't do this you wouldn't see many PC gamers upgrade, and most modders would probably contine to focus on vanilla Skyrim.

Pretty sure you won't be forced to upgrade. Not like Bethesda hasn't considered this

 

[Ricerocket]

It makes sense if the PC remaster is just the legendary edition with some mods applied at the base... in which case there was no way they could have charged people to jump into this remaster who already bought it.

 

[Zebei]

I don' thi k I can complain about free stuff

Spoiler

Maybe this will be the kick in the pants I need to beat the game and play the DLC I bought

 

[~Kinggi~]

Huh, good deal i own all that shit. I can get behind this.

 

[Zomba13]

Eh, cool for people who have all the DLC but I just have the base game. It's ok though, I can just throw mods at the game and make it look pretty

 

[DjRalford]

*only owns the standard edition and no dlc*

Steam sales on in a weeks time, might be able to pickup all the DLC then?

 

[Mesoian]

This is going to destroy my load order, isn't it?

 

[chaosblade]

Assuming it does break compatibility with existing mods, they might make the special edition a separate library entry than the original Skyrim. I know some other games like Divinity Original Sin have done that.

 

[diaspora]

I anticipated a $20 upgrade. This is better.

 

[Kimaka]

I haven't bought any of the DLC, but this is cool.

 

[Jarth Mader]

yoooooooooooo

Perfect! Thanks.

That would be pretty hilarious if it's just a version of compiled mods.

 

[Jafku]

Just realized that I only own the standard. Hopefully the steam summer sale will have the dlc for cheap. Would rather that then $60 for a remaster

 

[whiteninja]

Maybe Ill finally finish Dragonborn now.

 

[JaseC]

Bethesda removed Skyrim and its DLC from the store before the conference started. If you don't already own everything, you're going to have to either snap up a retail copy of the LE or buy what you're missing from the likes of G2A or Kinguin.

Edit: Oh, the packages were replaced with a bundle.

 

[Spyware]

Loooovely! Was just tweeting that I hoped I could upgrade for cheap and they post this <3
My original Skyrim just won't let itself be modded anymore. It breaks even if the only thing I add is SKSE. Silly thing. Would love a completely new edition to get a new chance.
I miss playing it.

 

[diaspora]

What about Console owners?


....oh right.

What about console owners? It's not like there's a PS4 version to upgrade, you made that choice when you chose that platform path.

 

[MrPanic]

Hm, maybe a good moment to invest in the dlc, hopefully they're not skipping the summer sale this year.

 

[toa95]

So would this hopefully be a better optimized base for mods then the regular Skyrim?

 

[FreeQuebec86]

Legit! I was """afraid""" that they do like Dark souls 2.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

good news!

 

[Gr8one]

yoooooooooooo


It'll be a separate entry in your steam library to the vanilla game.

Great news! I want to check it out on release but was worried it would break all my mods on vanilla!

 

[Illucio]

I take it this free upgrade is to motivate modders to continue modding the game so they can bring them over to consoles?

That's my assumption right now.

[Magicraft]

If you didt buy the game while on sale before, you're screwed. I really doubt there will be any sales now.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

this is the only way I wouldve bothered with this, so I'm now interested

 

[Creaking]

Hey, what about me? I owned the PS3 version! THE PS3 VERSION!

Spoiler

And all the DLC

 

[Sober]

Ummm...

http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/635/

?

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

It'd be nice if they did it for everyone who owns the game and it's DLC digitally on 360 or PS3.

 

[terrible]

I hope it doesn't just replace the regular edition on Steam.

 

[Ricerocket]

Skyrim Legendary Edition is $40 right now on Steam.

 

[dreamfall]

Such great news! What a conference!

 

[Trojita]

Seriously though, PS3 users not getting a break.

Oof
