If you're not fond of the overly pink and orange sunsets that spring from the intense new color saturation, you might even find the Special Edition a bit of a step back from the original version.
#THE ELDER SCROLLS V SKYRIM PC REVIEW GAMESPOT UPDATE#
Sure, I admire the richer foliage, but then I see the wooden hair of someone like Aela and wonder why this update didn't get a bit more love.

I love that there's lusher foliage now in the woods around Riften and Falkreath, but on the whole it doesn't look terribly different from the high-resolution texture pack, and certainly doesn’t compare favorably to the mods I had installed. There's definitely been some fresh texture work here, but it's uneven. The kind of thing wouldn't sting so badly if the Special Edition version looked significantly better. It looks nice, but not the nicest I've seen Skyrim look on PC. It's also a shame that there's literally no new content here, as even a couple of new shouts or a few surprise new enemy types would have served as agreeable lures for veterans. Thus, any saves you have that used gameplay-altering mods won’t work with the new version. This is a bummer in of itself, but the jump to 64-bit also means many of the mountains of old mods won't work without an update from the modders themselves, thus crushing any dreams of switching immediately to this version with all the old mods blazing. This boost, unfortunately, also appears to mean it doesn't work as well on older graphics cards that could confidently handle the 2011 version.

It also incorporates many of the other features made to Bethesda’s engine for Fallout 4, such as improved lighting and depth-of-field effects, plus some general beautification of the environments. It's 64-bit now instead of the old 32-bit version, which means it technically should better handle stuffing Breezehome with thousands of sweet rolls than it could in the past. The side quests are very fun but also some become very boring and repetitive.There are, in fact, some key differences. It was very fun to play going through most of the story and also skipping along with doing everything but it. But even with the bugs and exploits in the game I would recommend this game to anyone. Yeah the play through is a bit short if chosen to speedrun it. I would want to say if you enjoy open world RPGs this game would be a good one to pick up. But after learning the game it will become more difficult if the player does not keep up with the levels and armours of those they are fighting. The world isn't that difficult to learn and the story takes you from one side of the world to the other. The graphics were really well for the time this game was out. Something that makes the game so fun is that challenge after the game has been completed and going back and finding things you didn't before. After that is done the player will be faced with harder people once they leave the start of the game. One of such is one where you can cheese the start of the game smacking on ally on the highest difficulty, making you level up. The game doesn't do well with some of its bugs making the game hard at the start to pick back up or well to get caught back up to how the game should be. When you start off things will be easier for you but as you level things will start to become harder and that nice longbow you had won’t be able to kill that Giant. The game is built with leveling mechanics. Things will start off slow and easy letting the player learn the mechanics of the game and then kinda slowly picking up pace. The progress of the game helps with people learning to play it. By pinker400 | Review Date: December 14, 2020
