Skyrim

Considering that GTA5 was still in Steam's Top 10 based on revenue in 2020 ....

And it still pops up on Steam sales charts, like two weeks ago: https://steamdb.info/topsellers/2021W31/

Skyrim is 10 years old. Who's gonna buy that edition, seriously.

Are they even working on the next one?

Skyrim SE is 5 years old.  The AE is aimed at a handful of console users that couldn't get the game before.  Mostly, though, it is probably just an advertising gimmick, keeping Bethesda in the news.

Nice little gem in this news article

GQ also tried to get a little more info on TES6 from Bethesda director Todd Howard. He doesn't say much other than, "We've been designing", and that they're trying to make it a "decade game". I'm pretty sure they already know how to do that though, you just release as many new editions as you possibly can with a handful of improvements and additions every few years, right? Right?

Elderscrolls 6 will be exclusive to PC and Xbox? After Microsoft bought Zenimax (and thus Bethesda)? Not the most surprising statement ever.

I'll be close to 60 when Elder Scrolls VI comes out.

Some of us won't be as close to sixty then as we are now.

If you are interested in playing Skyrim SE with mods, avoid updating to AE.  It doesn't work with tons of mods, because it was recompiled using a version of Windows VS that is completely different than the one used in the CK, and thus the mods.  There's a version of SKSE that works, but most of my mods are borked.  It's a lot easier to keep it from happening than to roll back to fix it.

Yeah for sure. I followed the steps here and have not updated.

Very nice looking modded Skyrim, using the Elysium modlist (can be installed via Wabbajack, link in video):

Video about what it contains and changes for those interested:

As it happens, I'm just in the process of rebuilding my SE modlist after a few months hiatus. Here's hoping I get somewhere solid for a long playthrough....

Maybe this time I'll make it past level 17. I have about 1,600 hours and so far that's my highest level. Of course, I usually play with reduced xp and all kinds of impediments... but one of these days I should play the story past going to visit the Greybeards for the first time.

Weird question, but has anyone tried to remake Oblivion in the Morrowind engine? Or Skyrim in Oblivion or Morrowind?
