Is Skyrim better on console or PC?Īs far as the gameplay itself, I think PC works better because it’s both easier to mod the game and there are a lot more mods out there for PC. It features everything that LE does, as well as: 64bit engine. Skyrim SE is basically a much better version of Skyrim, no matter what someone else tells you. Compared to the likes of Oblivion and Morrowind, Skyrim had far fewer issues pertaining to save corruption or crashes. It ran at a higher framerate, looked better, and had mod support. Which version of Skyrim is best PC?Ĥ Skyrim (PC) Out of every vanilla Skyrim port on the market, the PC version was the best. Mods developed for the original Skyrim, with or without DLC, will work fine on the Legendary Edition, which is essentially the same thing, but provided as a complete set of the base game and all DLC (similar to a Game of the Year edition). Do Skyrim mods work on Legendary Edition? For more stability choose Special Edition since its 64-bit engine, while the Legendary Edition has an only 32-bit engine which makes it less stable. The only difference is the improved graphics in the special edition. Skyrim Legendary comes first before Skyrim Special Edition. All the most popular mods for LE are already ported over to SE, so there’s no real loss in options. It utilizes a 64-bit OS, and looks better, graphically, without mods. Unless you have a very old computer, running an out-of-date OS, then Skyrim SE is the superior version. Skyrim Special Edition will eventually get SKSE64, which is one that’s compatible with the new 64bit engine. It allows the game to handle modded scripted content which brings a lot of fun into the game if properly handled. The remastered is just the game with better base graphics, volumetric rays and blah blah. realistic water 2 or pure waters is also an option to W.A.T.E.R. Can Skyrim look good without ENB?įor exteriors RCRN is my favourite to use without ENB(although it’s great with ENB too) it gets the sort of look most ‘natural'(read not like bloody ‘real’vision) ENBs are going for without the performance hit. Unless you are planning on modding this game like crazy, your old gaming laptop should run this game just fine. Is Skyrim good in 2020?įortunately, Skyrim is a great game both high end and low-end gamers enjoy. And it’s not 255, but 250 because four plugins slots will be taken up by the official content (Update, Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn) and one will be used to hold. It’s not a mod limit, but a plugin limit. Yes, it’s absolutely, completely 100% worth it. The game feels completely different and refreshing with only a few simple mods, and the more I download, the more fun I have.
