This is the original Skyrim for PC. There are so many legacy mods that are available for this version that just never made it into Anniversary edition, but enough time has passed to where there are mods that are available for Anniversary edition and not for this one, AND the Anniversary edition ones are being updated. I'd say look at the lists and decide for yourself which one you would prefer. Tbh, both versions play the same lol. I just keep this one around because Steam has hidden the link to this version despite still supporting it on Steam.

Played this game since the release 11/11/11. Still one of the best gamed ever made on its kind and other games. Its like second home. I live there since 2011. My Top 10 best game ever made. From xbx to ps4 to PC. bought the game 3 times. On PC you can mod whaterver you want and make the game more fun on your own way. Also u can download 'mods'via Ps4 but I play the game vanilla on PS4. Love the game. can't wait for Elder scrolls 6. I started the series with Oblivion when I was a kid.

Spent more time modding and playing this game than I did going to school. I think when I die scenes of skyrim will flash before my eyes and I will be at peace 10/10 virtually unplayable without mods

Ah, Skyrim, my very first Steam game and the reason I got an account in the first place... it's been quite the ride, playing this game in some shape or form over twelve years, and as of this review, I finally got all the achievements. Pretty sure there ain't much to say that hasn't been already said, but I will say that the Elder Scrolls is perhaps my favorite video game series, Skyrim is kinda like a nice warm bowl of soup in that sense, some days it just sounds good. On another note though, man I forgot how crash-prone this version is, I know folks have gripes with Special Edition (Well, Bethesda's attempt to destroy their goodwill to be exact) but Oldrim is not the most stable, Falkreath may as well be renamed to Crashkreath (Seriously, that dopey little town became the bane of my last couple of hours) But regardless of whatever gripes I may had with the lack of stability, it's been tons of fun, playing this game, and while this isn't much of a review, it feels good to write up. So Thanks Skyrim, for all the good times, you've truly earned the title of Legendary in my book :)
