If you’re on Xbox One or PS4, then SE is your game.Įveryone else on PC who never got into modding Skyrim should go with SE since the price difference is less than 10% and there is no question about the performance & stability gains SE brings to the table plus future mod support. Owners of the previous, or second previous if you count the latest upcoming consoles, should get LE. So before we go into mods ( which is pretty much what keeps this game alive today), let’s recap quickly. Mod authors are embracing a better game engine that provides far more resources and stability for their work. It used to be when it first came out (and a year or two after) that players would not want to buy it BECAUSE all of the major mods were for LE and SE was a mod desert so to speak, but now the reverse is true. The reason why it’s so important is because all the major upcoming mods are developed for it, almost exclusively. However, this is NOT the reason why Skyrim SE is so important today in 2020. The ability to play PC mods on consoles (most important for many).It features everything that LE does, as well as: Skyrim SE is basically a much better version of Skyrim, no matter what someone else tells you. So Bethesda allowed everyone who owned LE to automatically acquire SE at no additional cost up until a certain point, via STEAM. This version of the game was met with a lot of criticism from players who already paid for the game previously and all DLCs in one way or the other. Hence the confusion a lot of players had between ‘ Skyrim Remastered‘ and ‘ Skyrim Special Edition‘ – which is basically the same game with two different names players used interchangeably. Skyrim SE (Special Edition)ĭuring 2016, Bethesda announced a remastered version of Skyrim. This version is what is playable on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. That’s still basically the ‘ base‘ game of Skyrim + other goodies that came after it.
So essentially it was a ‘ package‘ that included everything up to that point and you could just buy it and have ‘ everything‘ installed at once.

Although it is easily one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time, let’s not forget just how crash-prone and full of bugs it was. The base game launched on Novemand was a buggy mess. Let’s start in a chronological way, it’s the easiest way really.
