Of course, PC gamers have been able to use mods on the title for the last five years, but that’s only good news for those players who have been restricted to console play, because there are five years of mods from which to choose. With the confirmation that Skyrim: Special Edition can go toe-to-toe with a kitted out PC version of the game, fans of the series can spend their time between now and the October 28 release date focusing on the coolest new edition to the game: the ability to use mods.
But what do outsiders know anyway? This is an Elder Scrolls release, so just shut up and let Bethesda take my money. Okay, sure, from an outsider’s perspective, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is a five-year-old title that shouldn’t elicit tons of excitement among gamers at this point.
When Bethesda announced the Skyrim: Special Edition for consoles on June 12, it shouldn’t have come as much of a surprise to console gamers, but every time Bethesda announces any kind of release of one of its two flagship series - The Elder Scrolls or Fallout - it feels a little like Christmas.
