Audio that is remarkably worse than what was available in the original game.Īs a PC player, it’s impossible to compare the Skyrim Special Edition to the original game. This doesn’t even take into account the compressed audio in the new edition. Character models were left alone, so the NPCs running around in the shiny new world wound up looking out of place.

Why? Because Bethesda touched up the world graphics, but nothing else. And, even then, things wound up looking uneven. While there are improvements to the graphics, they aren’t grand enough to be noticeable after a few minutes of play. So, naturally, this would be an extension of that.Īs it turns out, the Skyrim Special Edition is a disappointment. After all, the Hi Res Texture Pack did wonders for the game. The thought of diving back into a Skryim that looked better than ever was exhilarating. But when Bethesda announced a new edition of the game, I was excited. Even without a special edition, I was planning to put a few more hours in (likely hundreds…). I have Skyrim on PC and, to date, have put 254 hours into the game. And, though I’m nobody special, I wanted to take a moment to add my 2 cents to the already million dollar pot. Can we talk about the Skyrim Special Edition for a moment?īy now, I assume that everyone has read the many overwhelmingly mediocre reviews of the game.
