Skyrim Special Edition unlock times, free upgrade terms confirmed - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;51248715]It's not FO4 engine from what I hear, the cloth physics are missing for instance also why would the fo4 engine make animation easier? It's already a struggle for animation with fo4...[/QUOTE] I seem to remember reading in an interview that Skyrim was ported to the latest version of Creation Engine to serve as a base for FO4 during development which is why they chose to release it as they pretty much already had it made. I'll try and find the article/interview. What I meant it is they removed some arbitrary restrictions in FO4 to do with animations so you don't need something like FNIS to allow you to actually use them. I'm not actually 100% sure as I'm not involved in FO4/Creation Engine modding other than installing the buggers.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;51249641]I have never actually got ENBs to work. Probably because I have AMD but they always caused tons of horrible occlusion culling and shadow artifacting issues.[/QUOTE] Exactly my point.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;51248152]What's the point in using this version if you already have Skyrim, its DLC, and all the mods on offer to make it look just as good if not better than the remastered version already? I understand why for consoles, but it seems kind of redundant for PC[/QUOTE] Because it is. If you have an ENBoost after .112 and realistic water two, you have everything the SSE offers, if you have Crash Fix installed and aren't on Windows 10 like a dumbass, there's literally nothing here for you. [quote] AMD [/quote] ENB hasn't had issue with AMD for years. RTFM.

Also, calling people on Windows 10 dumbasses while on Windows 7? lol, get on my Fedora level nerd.

[QUOTE=27X;51249887]aren't on Windows 10 like a dumbass[/QUOTE] Aren't you a cheery little cunt.

Do you get the previous version if you buy the Special Edition?

At least from my experience, I've only encountered one or two games that don't like running properly on Windows 10, but that's mainly because they just crash on exit (Oblivion) or seem to have minor audio issues (BioShock 1 original), so I wouldn't really call it utter shit for dx9 gaming.

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;51248715]It's not FO4 engine from what I hear, the cloth physics are missing for instance [/QUOTE] They're probably missing for performance reasons (for initial release) then they just never bothered adding them in. Default Skyrim actually supports cloth physics, and you can use the havok tools to add them if you so desire. Wonder if they added pbr from fallout 4.

The mention of modding was specific. You sure as hell can't play ME3 or Skyrim with more than 4046M of memory addressed to anything and that includes both ram and video memory combined, so a giant chunk of mods are right out the window, which was the point of this specific game.

[/quote] What a great anecdote, cause playing either of those games on a 4K screen with any textures over 1K for four standardized model maps pretty much hits the hard cap for the entire memory allotment, unless you like staring at ps2 textures with zero post processing, but thanks for stepping on your dick with your own argument and making my point for me at the same time.

I hope Skyrim 2 will have better writing.

You bitch that 4K "with any textures over 1K for four standardized model maps" isn't possible on software designed for an era when 4046 MB was sufficient for pretty much every game on the market. I guess with the infinite wisdom and knowledge that using Windows 7 grants you, you could probably find a way to go back in time and convince the programmers who built DirectX 9 that support for a kind of technological standards that they could only dream of is not only possible, but entirely necessary. It's like you're expecting a caveman to do calculus, then getting mad when he just bangs rocks together instead. I'm not even sure what you want at this point. You act elitist and superior on the grounds that you use an older operating system, berate other people because they've had technical glitches with ENBs, act like your own anecdotes are the gospel truth, stamp your feet when mods reach their technical limit, complain that your pretty toys don't look top-of-the-line because it's running a game built on software from 2004, and dismiss anyone who dares to contradict your opinion with a wave of the hand and an insufferably smug "you don't know what you're talking about".

I've modded the ever-living shit out of my game without the use of that ENBoost mod to address any memory limitations, and it seems to work just fine on my end. I still haven't had the game crash on me, the game hasn't glitched the fuck out to the point that it's an irreversible mess that I'd have to completely re-install to fix, and I've got enough mods installed at this time (with more being installed right now) that you'd think my game would break the moment I loaded it up. Still runs as smooth as the game did without all of the mods installed as well, so at least from my experience, your statement doesn't really seem to hold up.

I don't have the DLC just the base game, this doesn't seem worthy of paying full DLC price for. So long skyrim I'll just not play you again

[QUOTE=Trogdon;51254893]I don't have the DLC just the base game, this doesn't seem worthy of paying full DLC price for. So long skyrim I'll just not play you again[/QUOTE] The add-ons bundle on Steam still applies the discount to each DLC; it just lowers the price based on what part(s) of the bundle you already have by simply removing what you already own (example: you own the base game, so your bundle price would be lowered by the amount that the base game was worth in the bundle). If you already own the base game and want the DLC, it'll actually be cheaper to buy the DLC through the bundle.
