You know, this would be more enticing, and wouldn’t seem quite so much like a cynical money grab, if you actually had something you couldn’t just get anyway.
I mean, there’s no concept art, no behind the scenes stuff, nothing. It’s a pretty pathetic “Collector’s Edition” all told. Disappointed.

Looks like it, but what’s the point?
The patches are free, so I dunno why they’re trying to use them as a selling point, and you can just get the DLCs anyway, it’s not like you get anything for buying this version of the game.
I mean, there’s are no in game items, concept art, behind the scenes stuff, etc… Something, anything, would be better than the flaring nothing that is being offered right now for a premium price.

So the Polish rumour was right, haha
Too bad though that there is no more DLC. Another big, good DLC like Dragonborn would be perfect. I care little about Hearthfire or Dawnguard to be honest, so that’s why I’m a bit disappointed.
But still, Skyrim is an amazing game and Dragonborn is an amazing DLC, so I’m still happy overall
It might just be me though, but I think the cover isn’t as slick or nice-looking as I’d imagine it to be. Definitely not a big deal though, of course.

Hearthfire was a waste, I was really hoping to actually customize my own castle, but was disappointed with that DLC. Loved Dawnguard and Dragonborn. Was really hoping for more DLC, but at least I don’t have to put anymore money into it now.

Will this edition continue with the Steam requirement for PC? I would hope that we are far enough away from release, and that you have recovered enough of your development money, that you would consider a CD-based copy protection for this or for some future “GotY”-style release. I love Elder Scrolls, and still play Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion today. But I will not purchase Skyrim if it could stop working someday just because Valve chose to turn off steam. (This is also why I have not purchased Fallout: New Vegas, even though I would love to extend my stay in the wastelands.) I don’t mean to get into a flamewar about Steam, I just want to point out that:
#1 – I will only play Elder Scrolls games on PCs where I can apply mods to adjust things and extend gameplay.
#2 – I will never install Steam, and that position will not change (so there’s no point arguing — trust me, I’ve heard it all). It has already cost me access to two games that I desperately want to play, but instead I have thrown $100 each at the Kickstarters for DRM-free Project Eternity, Torment: Tides of Numenera, and Wasteland 2.
#3 – I am a 42 year old software engineer who makes my living writing software. I respect what you do, I understand your fear of piracy. But I will not “lease” software, I will only “buy” software, because I play my games for decades. (I know, the EULAs are all “lease” licenses, but that’s never been seriously tested in court. But a technically enforced “lease” is a different issue.)
Just something to consider. You obviously need to make your technical and marketing choices yourself, and this is no “threat”. I justed wanted to make it clear that I can and will forego playing any game that requires Steam (or any other 3rd party external verification server) that can take away my ability to enjoy a game I’ve paid for because a server somewhere else shut down. I’m not the only hardcore fan like me
Have a great day. Interested to hear what the next big plan is!

I, possibly like many others, hope that this is not the final mark in the Skyrim saga. What of the search for the New High King, or Queen, of Skyrim? What of the Aldmeri Dominion and their treachery? (If the Dragonborn can alone turn the tide of the Civil War, he’s gotta be able to crush some petty Mer.) THE WORLD MUST LIVE ON!

Will the legendary edition work with game saves from the original?
gstaff

You already have the complete Skyrim package then. The only difference would be the game case itself
gstaff

It’s a digital manual and you would receive a paper version of the map (not the same material as the map provided with the first run of the game).
Darth

Can you confirm whether or not the DLC will be on-disc, rather than via download codes? I know in the past Bethesda GOTY releases have always done this, but it would still be nice to have official confirmation.
Zaldir
2 years ago
Thanks!
gstaff
2 years ago
Yes, save are compatible.
A couple things to note.
1) For PS3 users, you’ll need to install the DLC content from the Legendary Disc (even if you already downloaded some of it) in order for it to work with the Legendary game disc. This content installed from the disc will not play with the original Skyrim disc… only if you’re using the Legendary disc.
2) For Steam users, if you already own any Skyrim content, the Legendary purchase will only add content that is not already part of your Steam library. Unlike Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition, a separate title (Fallout 3 vs. Fallout 3 GOTY Edition) will not appear in the library.
gstaff

Fixed
gstaff

Yes, you’ll be able to use the save, but you’ll need to make sure you’re using the new Legendary disc (and not the original disc) to play the content installed.
Nick

It’s something they’ve done with all the other games in the series, its just called the Legendary Edition instead of GotY like Morrowind and Oblivion. I personally love buying these packs, extra content or not. Besides, it at least comes with the map of Skyrim, even though the original had it, that’s all I need.
Zaldir

It is exactly the same game as the original with version 1.9, so no.

I prefer this. I always wait to get these games until they’re released in its full collection. I’ve done so with every Elder Scrolls and Fallout game to date. It’s a better deal than buying the full game at $60 and then the individual DLC as its released. And I don’t mind having to wait for it cause I’m usually catching up on other games.
Though I agree. Some concept art and behind the scenes content would be epic XD

that’s my thoughts exactly, bought the game for $60 when it came out, then dawnguard for $20, then Hearthfire at $5 then dragonborn at $20, add that and you get $105 for all of it. Now they are giving it to you all included at only $59. I think some of us should get refunds.

I love what Bethesda has done over the years. I started out with Morrowind, a game that changed and robbed my life. Do not get me wrong, I still love the game. But this, the Skyrim “Legendary Edition,” reminds me of a scene in Tron: Legacy where Alan Bradley asks what is different about the new operating system being released in comparison with the OS released a year ago, and the boss says,”there’s a 12 on the box.” That may not be quoted verbatim, but this seems incredibly similar to that. What makes Skyrim “The Legendary Edition” so special is that is has a 200 on the box. I miss the days when Bethesda was more about the fans than the wallets in their pockets. I miss the days where Bethesda cared more about a good story than just one more dollar. I miss the days when Bethesda had a soul. Do I think those days can come back for Bethesda, yes. But, for now, those days are dead and gone. I’m sorry fellow fans, people just do not matter as much in a capitalistic company.

I feel this is somewhat useless. Elder scrolls fans would have most likely bought the game by now and be a fair ways through it. So that leaves the only audience to buy this, logically, people who are trying to get into the series. Assuming they haven’t borrowed the game from a friend or rented it they would have no current saves on that game. In my opinion they would feel over whelmed with the DLCs, i was overwhelmed with the vanilla game its self. TL;DR I think it would be better to buy the game, see if you like it, then get the DLCs.

Just to relieve you of the fear of what would happen if Valve decided to shut down Steam. Gabe Newell (Valve Director) have stated on more than one occasion, that if they ever, however unlikely it is, should shut down Steam, they will open up all owned games so that you can play them without Steam.

The add-on content is on the disc for all three platforms.
Two things to note:
1) On PC, the content still requires Steam activation.
2) On PS3, the DLC content installs from the Blu Ray disc. If you have any existing DLC content from the game that you downloaded from PSN, it will not be compatible with the Legendary disc. You’d still need to install everything from the disc. Likewise, the game content requires that you then use the Legendary Edition disc — rather than using the original Skyrim disc.
DigitalMonk
2 years ago
Right… Of course, I still have to trust that he would do that. But I’m sure that keeping the servers up long enough for everybody to check in with all their games is going to be first and foremost on his mind at that point. I mean, the only reason they would shut down Steam is if they were losing money on it, so why not keep it running even longer to make sure that everybody got unlocked, even though that course of action no longer has any positive income benefit and potentially stellar daily costs…
I’ve never seen any other company actually do this, though I’ve seen lots of promises. Making the promise makes good business sense. Keeping the promise does not.
If the only requirement is that I have my original disc, then it’s entirely up to me to take good care of it and keep it running.

The original material used for the map was a burlap-like paper
http://www.bethblog.com/2011/06/23/get-a-premium-skyrim-map-with-your-preorder/
If you bought a later edition of Skyrim, it doesn’t use the same type of paper. The map is similar to the maps included with Oblivion.

He means the original map was a “cloth” map that was only released in the collector’s edition and the original releases of the game. I believe this map will probably be similar to the map released with Oblivion.

So wait…you think it would be better, and not a money grab, if there was something in this edition that you couldn’t get any other way? Making it just the already existing content is what’s making it NOT a money grab. This is meant for people who have not purchased Skyrim at all yet. Or possibly for those with the base game and none of the DLC.

Not sure where my first comment went or I’d reply to that. I also want you to fix spouse voices! When I talk to my husband, Angrenor Once-Honored, about what he has for sale, he keeps talking in other people’s voices. “Take a look” is his voice, but “Oh a bit of this, a bit of that” is something I’ve never heard before, and he just made another comment using the voice of Rorik, the guy in charge of Rorikstead. I’d rather he not say anything at all when I shop with him if he’s going to be doing impressions like that. And of course since I’m the only person on the planet who seems to love Angrenor, I’m probably the only one with this problem, unless other spouses that weren’t talking before the update are doing impressions as well, now.

Oh! More glitches that should be fixed before Legendary release: My bard, Llewellyn, keeps singing the Age of Aggression. I’m a Stormcloak. You don’t sing that in my house!

That’s very different. In the Game Jam video, one of the things someone made was a MASSIVE mudcrab, larger than a castle. Just its claw was nearly twice as tall as the Dragonborn. It rises up from the sea after a few regular mudcrabs are killed, and then it starts jabbing its claws into the ground trying to kill the Dragonborn. I really, really, REALLY wanted to fight that thing, and I know a few others who wanted to as well. One even came up with the idea of turning its shell into a house after it was dead.

I can see where this would be useful for people who don’t have Skyrim, but right now I can’t even say it’s worth it for the new people aside from maybe the modding capabilities of the PC version.
I spent my fair share of time in Skyrim, but the entire game just kinda feels unfinished. The arena is there but not accessible, several of the quests were supposed to play out differently, and things like the Stormcloak victory, and the Thalmor were pretty much just left with a cliff hanger.
Also you guys screwed up MFG in the 1.9 update. You might want to fix that, since many facial expressions that the NPC’s make aren’t working properly.

Really…..You guys really couldn’t just make a Wii-U version to go along with all the others ???? Then you third party developers have the balls to say the core players and the install base is not on Nintendo platforms. Here is a hint…..if you don’t provide the content, Nintendo owners can’t buy it !!! You can’t expand your audience if you don’t show that specific audience they are important to you!! You have to start leading by example, not follow what other 3rd parties are doing. So sad a good game like this skips a good new system :/

Oh, and Gabe never actually made that promise…
“According the Steam Subscriber Agreement Valve promises you nothing in the event that Steam is shut down for any reason.
In the unlikely event that Steam is shut down, any number of things could happen:
1. You lose access to everything.
2. A patch is issued and Valve games work offline and the their multiplayer may or may not work.
3. Third party games may get a patch, work offline and their multiplayer may or may not work.
4. A combination of 2 & 3, that includes all, some or none of your games, bringing you back to possibility #1.
I have seen forum posts, articles and comments from articles that claim that Gabe Newell announced that if Steam were to shut down that a patch would be issued to provide you with access to your games. However, I have never found the actual quote itself.
The trouble is that even if Gabe said that the SSA does not reflect this promise of a patch so the offer is unenforceable.
IMHO, I think that in the unlikely event that Steam went do that we would get to access to most of our games. There would be a few titles that we would lose access to likely due to their individual companies legal and financial issues. Heck, that happens now from time to time. Like the one of the past Zombie Shooter shooter sale fiasco that happened due to a beef with their old publisher.”
(From http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=986608 which also claims to have a link to what Gabe did actually say, but the link didn’t work for me. Basically, Gabe “hopes” that they would be able to provide unlocked versions of the games. “Hopes.” Yeah, well, I “hope” for a whole lot of things, but they don’t seem to happen.)

Oh, and Dishonored. I knew there was another game I really wanted to play that I’ve left on the shelf because of Steam requirements…

They’re selling it for the price of a normal game. Usually GOTY editions are discounted because they’ve stopped selling well at the full price. The retail price of Skyrim+DLC right now is $85.

I have a Question Bethesda. I heard the PS3 version of skyrim had serious issues involving framerate to the point of being nearly unplayable. So what I want To Know is will The PS3 version of Skyrim Legendary edition have the framerate issues fixed? I Cant afford getting the necessary requirements to get my Ps3 online to patch the Game. Please Answer soon. Thanks!

I love the morons posting here who are claiming this release is just another way to ‘milk’ the fanbase. Clearly you are not intelligent enough to grasp the simple notion that NOT EVERYBODY BOUGHT SKYRIM…
or how about this
NOT EVERYBODY BUYS DLC. Wait… I got another… NOT EVERYBODY HAS INTERNET ACCESS TO PURCHASE DLC.
I knew this version of the game was going to be released eventually, and I am happy as hell for it.

Bethesda please launch sufficient games in India. We have twice the population of N america. You can make huge profits. We cant find a decent elder scrolls game anywhere in India. I got one after a lot of effort. Please release a digitally remastered collection of elder scroll games from arena till oblivion. TRUST ME you will make huge profits. PS Hire me.

Also, don’t forget. Some people just don’t have internet, or their connections are spotty at best. This makes the game accessible to those people, giving them patches and DLC they wouldn’t otherwise see.

is the lip-syncing bug, eye blinking bug and all the other issues with Skyrim 1.9 for free, or included in the price?

I think that “legendary” is a bit of an overstatement. If all you’re getting is all the add-ons and patches then you may aswell leave it. Most people already have all the add-ons and everybody has the patches (unless you don’t have online connection) But I think I might get it anyways, looks just a bit better, font know why…

I don’t know if anyone addressed this yet or not… but what about those of us who have bought the dlcs religiously as they cane out. I love skyrim and i bought it all. To be honest as a player, consumer and one of the people who contributes funding for your industry I kind of rhe think the Legendary levels and modes should be offered as a free dlc for buying all of the other ones. You used to do it with Fallout, why not nowm

I was so very upset Bethesda never thought of people such as myself who cannot afford x box live to get all those gorgeous DLCs. I almost cried everytime I heard there was a new one coming out.
I ave been playing Skyrim since day one and it blows my mind what ye have created. Thank You. I only play Dead Is Dead, I am totally in love with the game. I only have three game in my collection, yours IS number1.
Thank you for releasing this to be bought in stores now I can get them….I am over the moon quite literally. Thanks, Paul from Ireland.

Ross

Well I can! Just delete your current game and update data files, then run from the disc, and when it offers to update, cancel. It’ll then go ahead and install the 1.0 version, which you can run.
Of course, you can’t use any game saves from later versions, so you’ll need to start a new character, and you’re stuck with all the bugs that got fixed in 1.4/5/6/7 etc. – including the PS3 memory problem
You DO get to see the waving trees again and better graphics quality, but not the souped up underwater effects, and no DLC of course. If only there was some way of installing 1.7 on its own!

A little bit expensive for my liking but I feel that I owe them, (since Skyrim was my first TES game) I bought it off a friend for cheap in the first couple months and got the DLC 1/2 price (PS3). Some other PS3 users will disagree but I never encountered any (Even slightly) major bugs, despite not updating the game until a year later.
Still, I will buy this for my laptop, even though it definitely will not run well on it, as it releases just after my birthday. I am mainly going to use it to hack my PS3 save.

QUESTION(S):
Will the release will be physical?, I mean with box, cd and whatnot…
Will you ship the physical copies worldwide? either by retail or direct shipment (I live in Mexico, and I would like an english version copy [thing is that in most games, spanish copies are in Euro spanish dialect/accent, which is kinda annoying])…
PD:
THANK YOU GUYS, BEST GAMING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. “EPIC” AND “LEGENDARY” ARE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THIS IS MY FIRST RPG AND ELDER SCROLL GAME I PLAY AT FULL, AND I DEFINITELY WILL BE LOOKING FOR YOUR NEXT WORK IN THE FUTURE.

EASY WII U PORT….”Really…..You guys really couldn’t just make a Wii-U version to go along with all the others ???? Then you third party developers have the balls to say the core players and the install base is not on Nintendo platforms. Here is a hint…..if you don’t provide the content, Nintendo owners can’t buy it !!! You can’t expand your audience if you don’t show that specific audience they are important to you!! You have to start leading by example, not follow what other 3rd parties are doing. So sad a good game like this skips a good new system :/”

A few of us have put down Skyrim for a little while and look forward to returning to it with all DLC when this drops. Maybe we traded our old Skyrim in for store credit. Also, its silly to be angry with a PC game designer for attempting to serve consoles too. This will aid in letting disenfranchised PS3 owners explore a neat world. If you don’t want it, don’t buy it. Personally I may have a few lazy days thus summer I won’t mind devoting to my Game of the Year 2011.

Yes, but if you already have Skyrim on Steam, it will only add the content that you don’t already have. You wouldn’t have both Skyrim and Skyrim Legendary in your library. This is a change from how we handled Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Still needs one more patch for the ‘Break of Dawn’ quest that mislabels ‘Dawnbreaker’ as ‘Dawnstar’ as well as the ‘Infiltration’ quest that does not list objectives as complete. Ash piles STILL do not disappear even on a new game. Wearing the Thieves Guild hood as a Vampire makes the top of your head disappear. And Ulfric and Galmar’s bodies do not ever disappear after completing the Civil War questline in favour of the Empire. Just one more patch will truly make this game Legendary.
