Here's a little known fact that this game tought me: Structeres made of stone? yeah they burn.

All things considered though it's a pretty decent game, just needs some tlc in the bug/game mechanics that make little to no sense department.

Unless you have a pretty beefy computer, dont bother. This game has bucket loads of potential but is so poorly optimized its near impossible to play, unless you like staring at a pile of ♥♥♥♥♥ for hours on end. The game has been in this state since its release and all the devs have done is add more content aka bugs (not to mention the dlc) so dont expect it to get fixed anytime soon, if ever.

I would take most of the performance related reviews with a grain of salt. The framerate for me on ultra settings isnt perfect (40fps but with below recommended pc requirements) but this is to be expected considering the improved graphics, ive also yet to experience a single crash. Now as far as the actual improvments go, its a signifcant improvment upon the OG skyrim. Lastly the mods, while i personally dont use many (especially with the special edition) the utter rage people have regarding mods on the special edition is idiotic. While yes some mods just wont work and others will need to be updated what were people expecting, everything to just work all hunky dory? its a new engine for christs sake. If you dont like it play the OG skyrim with the mods that apprently make it look/run better anyway, no ones forcing you to buy this. Anyways, mods on the special edition should be bigger and better than before thanks to the special edition being 64 bit.

So should you buy it? I would but it thats my opinion, look at what the game offers and decide if you can justify spending the gold (and if your pc can handle it of course).
