What madness is this?
Bethesda never even discounts their DLC below 50% and they're giving this ish away for free?
Am I in a Bizarro World or something?
Ain't sayin' no to free ish, but yo, just sayin'
so will the special edition be locked in to Bethesda approved in-game mods only?
I can't be the only person who is actually incredibly concerned and sceptical about this, surely it's going to break many, many mods already created (if not all of them) and most of them probably won't ever be fixed. I didn't mod Skyrim anywhere near as heavily as Oblivion, but I certainly wouldn't have played it without the climate mod that covers most of the map in snow (Skyrim is far too brown and ugly in a lot of wilderness areas).
I'm going to have to back up my directory and set Steam not to auto-update Skyrim.
It's a separate app, not a patch. The last time Bethesda fiddled with any of Skyrim's content depots was over a year ago and that was just an update to the Czech and Polish localisations.
Edit: There's also been no additional DLC attached to the Skyrim app, aside from an unreleased soundtrack.

Not specifically mods but I've played it in VR via vorpx.
What benefits over modded vanilla will this offer? Just seems like the Special edition will save having to install a couple of gfx mods initially.
Considering its a seperate game, no you won't?
I'm confused. They're giving you what you already own again? What's the difference between the remaster and the modded version you likely have installed on your PC already?
But I don't want this to mess up my mods!
it's been confirmed that they are separate entries so our precious mods will work on oct 28 on skyrim just like they do today.
that said, i don't ever see playing this upgraded version of the game if the mods i like don't get ported
They are bringing some of the effects they have written for Fallout 4 over. It's the same engine, with probably only minor additions done for Fallout 4 to the renderer. Depending on how modularized their codebase is, it could be a basic swap and then fixing stuff that it broke. Then again, this is Gamebyro, so who knows what they are doing to this Frankensteinian creation.So I wonder if this is ported to the fallout 4 creation engine?
Or maybe a step in between Skyrim and Fallout 4?
If you own #Skyrim and all its add-ons or own Legendary Edition on Steam, you'll get a free upgrade to Skyrim Special Edition on Oct 28 #BE3
Will there be any gameplay changes in addition to the graphics upgrade?

Imagine if we'd all paid for a bunch of mods.
