Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Um… Wait… I already have Bugrim and am not interested in DLC. But… Some things are fresh in this release?

No skillcaps? Yea, I really want to turn my character into a demigod, sure, can't wait!
Oh, combat cameras? That alone is definetly worth $60.
Mounted combat? It's christmas! Can't even describe how excited I am about it.

That stuff became available with the most recent patch. If a person already has the game, dlc's, and most recent patches, i really don't know why someone would buy this. There isn't anythin new. Unless i'm missing something.

 

[Trelow]

Good. I've been waiting for this before buying the game. Now for it to hit <$30

 

[JDR13]

Anyone know what's included in the boxed version of this? I'm curious if there's any extras. - i.e. map, etc.

You do realize you don't have to buy the legendary edition to get the things added in the patches right? This is your standard compilation edition totaling less than the cost of the game+all dlc individually - no reason to act like it's anything else.

A few months ago I walked to a woman who works in a bookshop … She told me that she was playing Skyrim for a year now … (On the PS3.)

 

[Thrasher]

Cool story, bro.

Now, if I wanted to buy all the DLC, is it cheaper to buy this or the DLC separately? Probably should wait for a DLC sale, I imagine....

DLC current cost: $45 ($20 + $20 + $5).
Legendary current cost: $60

 

[Thrasher]

Thanks! That's a lot of clams for the DLC alone. I'll be patient for a sale.

Hmm...Legendary edition is considerably cheaper in the UK, especially from Amazon.

Legendary edition (Amazon): £19.99

Legendary edition (Steam): £29.99

Game+DLCs: £14.99 (base game)+£13.99 (Dragonborn)+£3.49 (Hearthfire)+£13.99 (Dawnguard) = £46.46

Wow, I thought that was a typo when I first read it but yeah the amazon uk price is basically 50% off the current US steam price. That is pretty significant and usually they seem to err on the side of overcharging people after currency conversion if anything.

I think it's a pity they didn't collect a few favorite mods, pay the authors off, and bundle them with the console versions. There are plenty of mods that wouldn't work because of copyright, nudity (maybe), graphics, or just a mess of authors to pay but I bet they could have snagged some nice ones. Console gamers are people, too! (Well, near enough.)

Joxer has taken his experience with bugs in Skyrim very, very personally. So, he mentions how super buggy it is in every single thread dealing with the game. It's not like we all got it the first ten thousand times - about how Bethesda is deliberately ignoring his particular issues - just to spite him

Most of the popular mods require 3rd party software that consoles can't use. Also, if there are multiple mods, the user has to be able to adjust the load order so the mods don't conflict. Consoles can't do that either.
