So this is my next game, been playing the past couple days. This is the Skyrim everyone’s wanted since 2011. Bethesda released Skyrim 19 times and not only fucked it up every time, but mostly fucked it up in the same way (19 times if you include every platform, 8 if you don’t). 14 years and they still can’t figure out how to do a software development pipeline (as evidenced by 2011 bugs still being present in the most recent rerelease, as well as all other in-house bethesda games being just as fucked up). I can’t think of another game that’s renowned for mods and most of said mods are fixes for bugs that bethesda’s too bethetic to fix. Mods normally add to a game, Skyrim’s mods mostly just do their best to make it a less broken vanilla.
Fear not this game is here! All the mechanics of Skyrim without any of bethesda’s lack of competence nor any other bethesda fuckery. Also a somewhat modern fidelity. Looks waaaay better than any version of skyrim, but not 2025 bleeding edge better.
I’m currently running at max settings at 2160p>60 (usually >90, DLSS: 60% of native). In most areas I can run native, but there’s a few spots that kill the framerate, so had to turn on DLSS to stay above 60 100% of the time.
I’m having a lot of fun, kind of sad I had to pirate. Will post more later!
