In light of the mixed reviews, I will be putting my purchase on hold.

It depends what you are comparing it to I think.

Seems like the PC version isn't worth it, but if you are comparing the original 360/PS3 version to the Xbox One/PS4 version it looks like its a fairly decent upgrade.

Lack of YouTube reviews for this is very annoying.

Tried this over the weekend. It runs like absolute gooseberry fool on my GTX1070. Single digit framerates. When it does run smoothly it looks godawful. Considering I've still the likes of The Witcher expansions, and Pillars of Eternity to get through, and knowing just how stilted Skyrim's story is, it was pretty much only the graphics I was coming back for.

Pass.

I've actually managed to get the original game modded into a state that has some good gameplay changes, a ton of graphics improvements, and still performs decently. I even managed to actually play it for a bit Abusing the stealth to become a one hit kill bow and arrow murderer.

I enjoyed the Bioshock remaster, I thought the first had been quite well done actually. Might put this on the xmas list.

Oh good not just running gooseberry fool for me then, was getting around 21fps on Ultra :slol:

Uninstalled and downloaded the original which then CTD when I tried loading a game :fp:

Par for the course for Skyrim I guess

That's a pretty cool cel-shading mod.

Running like a dream on my 970, Ultra 2.5k downscaled to 1080p. It's obviously not that much of a looker compared to some modded versions but it is much nicer than vanilla was back in 2011.

Still not sure the game itself is going to be compelling enough to make me get any further than I have before but I'm enjoying my return thus far.

I assume this is what the original console version looked like.

On PS3 it was worse.

Apparently several mods (Including SkyUI which is, quite frankly, 100% a requirement) are now compatible with the Special Edition on PC.

That's amazing.

I think you've posted a list of 'essential mods' before brer? If so do you still have it? I bought the SE and want to put some effort into modding it to make it look good. Looks strawberry floating awful vanilla, blurry gooseberry fool mess. I'm convinced it looks worse than the orignal version.

Well if you're convinced SE looks worse than original I'm convinced you're blind. :simper:

The original version came with a free downloadable ultra high res texture pack, but the SE doesn't have this, and only uses the standard high res textures, so it probably does look worse. :simper:

Awesome screenshot Brer :wub:

I've got about 40 mods installed and it looks nowhere near as good as that, but hey, I've got posh mudcrabs :datass:

Can't use ENB as it causes my laptop to switch to the Intel CPU rather than using the Nvidia card

Can you not just use Nvidia Control Panel to force the Skyrim executable to only use the Nvidia GPU?
