You are Dragonborn, a person born with the soul and power of a mythical dragon. Make no mistake: Skyrim is a great game, but it is probably not worth buying a second time at least not until the mod community catches up. To complicate matters, the 64-bit jump means that many of the complex, script-heavy mods created for the original release don't work in Skyrim Special Edition, leaving PC players with essentially a prettier version of the base game. Unfortunately, Bethesda, the game's developer, made zero changes to the gameplay, interface, or presentation, so the same wonky AI, wooden NPCs, and laughable animations also appear in this game.

Skyrim Special Edition improves the visuals, and makes the jump to 64-bit architecture, resulting in a slightly prettier and more stable video game than the original release. The world is overwhelmingly massive, and is chock full of monsters to slay, quests to undertake, dungeons to raid, and beautiful vistas to take in. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a sprawling open-world RPG to be reckoned with, even five years after its initial release.
