This is Skyrim but better in every single way.

Pros
64 Bit Game Engine
Better Graphics than vanilla Skyrim
Better Performance
Incredible value package
It's very much still Skyrim
+200 hours of content (Vanilla game without mods)

Cons
Bugs which are in Vanilla Skyrim still exist

What i ment when i said "probably not" is that there probably isn't any new content
Whether you want to buy it or not is up to you

Probably not, glass
Infact it's essentially a graphically enhanced (original could look better with mods)
newer version of Legendary Edition, DLC and all
The problem is that they REMOVED LEGENDARY EDITION
LIKE WHAT THE FUCK BETHESDA!?

should I Pay though for it?

also. they should fix them in the vanilla version too. the bugs that is. this is literally tempting me to buy the same game twice and I don't quite like that. so is there any new quests besides the dlc and stuff?

Crippling cons:
- Not as nostalgic/Not as authentic
- Legendary has much more and much better mods, almost worth it over this crappy version

@endy bendy. Yes this game supports borderless window and it runs great. My complaints though are that steam overlay has to be pulled up or you have to alt tab to adjust volume.

One con is that it doesn't have the same mods as the Original Skyrim.

I'm guessing you have OG skyrim as well and played that a ton but I'm too lazy to check
