Skyrim Special Edition

It is vanilla skyrim.

Hello, fellow gamer!
This Skyrim Special Edition™ is surely the best version of the best videogame of all time!

>>382792517
with no SKSE and the 4gb fix coming out for enb soon, theres really no reason to get SE

Better than the original if you're not modding, far worse if you are.

>>382792517
Runs like shit compared to the original.
Only basic mods because of no Script Extender.
New graphics are nice but not worth the performance hit and it still looks worse than the original with a lot of mods.
I guess it's nice for console plebs but there's no reason to play it on PC.

>>382792845
Yes, SKSE was built by reverse engineering much of skyrims engine. SE has a new 64 bit engine, so essentially SKSE has to be rebuilt from scratch. last i heard the devs for SKSE apparently ran into some pretty big technical issues, making the project dead in the water.

>>382792845

Yes. The team for SKSE is half gone and the people (more like one guy) still left gave up on it 7 months ago.

>>382792876
How soon is the 4gb fix?

>>382792860
I just hope Todd knows how much we appreciate all the hours he spent making his game even better.

>>382793112
the fix wasn't an enb update, rather some guy brought the issue to a microsoft dev who was a cool enough dude to put the fix for windows 10 DX9 in the next build or w/e. basically, fix is apparently in beta, i haven't tried it, but its for sure coming out as an official windows 10 update like fall-ish. Don't crucify me, but the subreddit has all the details

>>382792517
I was surprised how much I enjoyed it without any mods. Absolutely hated vanilla Skyrim so much so that I didn't even bother to mod it. Really weird.

Once you turn down the shadow resolution (they are 4k which is completely necessary) you will never go back to the original, it runs and looks so much fucking better. Stuff like Holds and JK's run at 30 FPS in the original, perfect 60 in SE with 2k shadows. Only autistic waifufaggots care about SKSE.

>>382793523
or people who enjoy functionality like MCM in their mods so they don't have to rely on a dick ton of spells to change their mod settings. And if you really want to talk about graphics, a few texture mods and a half decent enb and you can get close to the same look

ENBs tank the framerate, there is no reason to use ENB in SE because it has vanilla DX11 features like ambient occlusion and soft shadows.

>>382793685
>a few texture mods and a half decent enb and you can get close to the same look
That's the 2nd easiest way to make your game unstable, first being to increase the number of cells loaded, which is the only way to get SE's draw distance. Whiterun looks awful without increasing your cells, especially with a grass mod.

>>382793925
shut the fuck up.

My waifu WILL have the BEST lighting on her slightly sweaty chest on a chilled morning.

>>382793925
If you run a lightweight ENB you'll take 0 loss to your fps unless you run a potato. You can't justify rebuying a game at max price for shadows

>>382794127

I really want to give it a shot but with no SKSE it's not gonna happen.

All the good mods used SKSE. Even SkyUI, iirc

>>382794461
>Bought the ps4 console version.

Literally why?

>>382794319
It will they just move slower than they use to. Fallout 4's script extender is also moving at a slower pace than Skyrim's once did.

The game isn't even that good, how do I stop

Yes, it is objectively better then vanilla Skyrim, no shit.

It will it never be better then modded Skyrim until said mods get ported to said special edition. Why would I settle for a game experience without features I specifically added to suit my taste?
Muh Graphics is the only reason to play this, and that's a bad reason.

>>382794501
You can use skyui 1.2 or earlier in SE I think but you have to do a little modifying to get the warning messages to go away

>>382794501
Nah, aside from Legacy of the Dragonborn and Vigilant, most of the mods just use SKSE for SkyUI.

>>382792517
Manchilds can't use their weeb waifus, due to no skse and engineering, so they stay mad burning faggots.

>>382792618
kek, fpbp. It is just plain old skyrim

Why do we even need a script extender?

Why can't Todd just make it so the engine allows longer scripts?

>>382794501
>All the good waifu mods used SKSE
ftfy

>>382792517
They actually fucked up really bad

They took their regular 1024x1024 textures and stretched the fuck out of them to make an "HD" port. They actually fucked up the sound quality really bad by compressing it.

>>382794787
You can still make waifus, just no BBP which is sad, I like jiggly butts

You stop by recognizing that you are addicted because you have built up your own headcannon and story for your character, and it is your personal mental fanfiction that you are attached to, not Skyrim itself. Waifufagging counts as this as well. Pic very related

You don't have to stop, really. Recognizing what you are really attached to will help you break your addictive need to play the game.

It's only real improvement is the 64 bit engine, so having graphical mods which are still needed don't tank your framerate. Oldrim is better for the modding scene though because it's more developed.

It's a catch 22.

>>382794614

m8 it hasn't been worked on since December. If it's ever released it will be like five years from now when we're all playing TESVI.

Apples-to-apples, if you have the hardware to run either one well, the new release is generally better than the old one out of the box.

That said, the remaster was lazily done. Instead of rebuilding assets from the original masters it looks like the final assets were uprezzed, and audio files have noticeable compression and clipping issues. The technical problems that Script Extender's team have had in getting it to work likely mean it's never coming out so there's a whole raft of mods for old Skyrim which will never get ported, and anything which required similar functionality will always be impossible in Skyrim SE. If you have a mod setup for old Skyrim that you like and which requires SKSE, then forget about Skyrim Special Ed. It can never give you what you want.

>>382797239

SKSE will only ever work on PC. Of course they don't care about care about it; they're trying to sell mods to consolefags.

SE is just a mess.

And like these anons said >>382798019 >>382798095
They don't care. SE was made so they could resell the game for consolecucks and then sell them paid mods on top of that. Consolecucks are destroying this industry with their cucked slave minds. First they paid for monthly subscription then for free Left4Dead DLCs then for Minecraft mods and now finally for all those re-releases.

Creation Club mods will be pointless Horse Armors so they can avoid incompatibilities and bugs. Forget about huge DLC sized quests and new lands and forget about mods that will utilize the game engine better. They refused Enai's overhauls because they just want trivial house and armor shit.

>>382798869
>They refused Enai's overhauls because they just want trivial house and armor shit.

I think it's more that having big gameplay overhauls calls attention on their poor gameplay design.

They already established they aren't interested in porting existing mods to Creation Club, solely brand new content.

Also Enai's a bit of a baby. He cried about people some people not liking Wildcat.

I wasn't talking about that. You need to be accepted into the "club" before you start making mods. Shillwiz is already in there, shilling out loud. Enai just said that they're not interested in overhauls. Just shitty little mods like the ones they already showcased.

Yes he's a baby, but he's still right.

>>382801782
Yet Trainwiz doesn't make armor mods. Hell he's not even a great modeler. He makes quest, companion and humor (loltrains!) mods. If Enai was right, Trainwiz wouldn't be in the program.

Not that I'm really interested in the it eitherway. I don't use f2p cash shops in my 60 dollar AAA games, and that's basically what this will be.

>>382801445

If you already own vanilla, don't be a good goyim and buy it. Just pirate it. Mods and everything still works. I have played skyrim for over 1000 hours, but I haven't bought any of the games. Fuck Bethesda.

Can someone explain to me what Legacy of the Dragonborn does and why it's praised so much?

>>382804185
100% completionists are autistic.
I never bothered with it since I'm not playing as the Dragonborn.

>>382804185

It turns Skyrim into a collectathon and even integrates items from other mods.

>>382804185
Its great for austically collecting things. Pretty well made for a big mod too. It just gives you a big museum to display all your stuff nicely.

>>382804457
>>382804419
>>382804418
Is that all it is, some place to collect shit?

I don't understand why people put it as a must have.

>>382804585

Yes. There's a couple of quests associated with it, but from what I remember they just involve getting more items.

If you don't care about collecting shit it will have no appeal for you.

>>382793043
>>382793050

Bethesda could throw them a bone, but of course they won't since SKSE is PC only.

Seriously, this is your counterargument? "He's lying". Doesn't he already make quest mods? What else is he going to make?

He also makes smaller mods like followers and new enemies.

>>382809569
A follower with a huge amount of quests.

>>382809729
Vivec doesn't have any quests

>>382809470

"Quest mods" is very general and could mean anything. You're making an assumption that the quest mods will be big, voice acted, and will contain unique items and lore.

Remember that Trainwiz is going to benefit financially from CC and has an interest in promoting it.

Why?

>>382811923
Can't make anything that is or was WIP already.

>>382792517
I only got it because I had never played skyrim before and wanted to see what the fuss was about.

I got into the game, and past that overly long scripted scene, and soon found myself kind of underwhelmed by the world which seemed too small (too many POI's too close together) the first dungeon(not counting that intro-thing) was really linear, and I found myself asking too many questions/finding too many petty things to gripe about when it came to aesthetics, lore, level-design and world-design.

Nords and Imperials both felt too 'safe', or "normal", everything felt too fake in the sense that the world didn't feel foreign enough.
Lack of spears/polarms, and the way the world was designed around foot-travel didn't seem to help matters much.


>I preferred Mount And Blade: Warband.

>>382800292
Runs smoother and has very minor immershun mods like Real Shelters, Lip Sync Fix, and a flow based water shader from Realistic Water Two integrated into it.

But there's no SKSE and there's a 99% chance it'll never come out, so it's not even worth playing when you can have tons more mods on the Legendary Edition.

Also too many mechanics that would confuse the average player, like the quest marker being the villain that actively tries to steer you in the wrong direction (I tried a variation on that in Maxwell's World, and needless to say it didn't work too well)
