What platform should i buy skyrim on

How would you beat or finish such a game? Well, it can be completed story wise, but I believe it has like endless quests or something. When I played I had quest after quest. I never even beat the game, there's just so much to do. I remember my brother beat the story, but there's more side quests and other stuff you can do afterwards. I really need to replay it soon and actually finish the game. I want to turn up the conversation a bit.

I'm not a big PC gamer. So with PC not being a choice, what platform would be the better option? Of the consoles, it runs best on PS4, Xbox and Switch. Long story short, Skyrim runs pretty damn well on the Switch which is the version you own, I believe. Plus, playing Skyrim in handheld mode is truly impressive, though the battery doesn't last too long, unfortunately. PC all the way. In addition to being able to play Skyrim at 4K resolution, you can also mod your game and basically create the world you want.

The Skyrim Modding Community is one if not the biggest one around right as well as it's one of the most modded games of all time. For modding, PC. For consoles, honestly they are all pretty much exactly the same so I can't really say there is a huge difference outside of them.

Unlike the PC edition, there is a 5 GB mod limit due to Microsoft's demands, and unlike the PlayStation 4 edition, mods can use external assets. This version supports mods, but due to Sony's demands, they must use assets from Skyrim, and cannot use external assets of any kind.

The announcement indicated that Anniversary Edition is based on Special Edition and includes elements from the creation club. Anniversary Edition is slated for release on November 11th, - Exactly 10 years after the original release of Skyrim. As of the announcement, no platform-specific changes are known for the PS5 version of Anniversary Edition.

Skyrim was launched on Nintendo Switch on November 17, It includes new gameplay features like motion controls for combat and lockpicking, outfits and gear from The Legend of Zelda , which can be obtained in-game or via scanning The Legend of Zelda series amiibo figures. Additional random loot can be obtained by scanning any amiibo figure. Skyrim also includes Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn. The Xbox version of Skyrim was overall much better than the PlayStation version.

It ran at a more consistent framerate and had significantly fewer issues. What made the Xbox version stand out from even the PC version, however, is the inclusion of Kinect commands. In a title update for Skyrim , Bethesda added over commands that players could say to their Kinect to do something. This could range from opening doors to changing spells without having to touch an input device or menu. Besides that, the port ran at a stable 30 frames per second for most encounters, only dropping when many physics objects were being manipulated at once.

If you had to play Skyrim on a console, this was the best way to do it for a long time. Sony can't get away from Bethesda's bugs, no matter the platform. The two largest iterations to this version were the inclusion of mod support and the Creation Club, Bethesda's way of paying modders to create curated content reviewed by Bethesda themselves for users to enjoy.

There is just one problem: custom-made content was not allowed on the PlayStation 4 version due to concerns Sony had with console security and safety. Because of this, only an infinitesimally small number of mods are available on this platform, seriously limiting the potential fun players could have on this version.

At least the save issues from the older version have been fixed this time. Unlike the PlayStation 4 version, the Xbox One port of Skyrim: Special Edition allowed users to download and use mods that included custom-assets in them, significantly increasing the number of mods available. Besides the ability to mod on consoles, the visual improvements for this version are fantastic for outdoor environments. Seeing the sunset in Skyrim has never looked so good on a console before.

Those on PC are used to this already thanks to ENBs and visual mods, but it's awesome that console players can get the same experience now. As for performance, it runs as you'd expect. Out of every vanilla Skyrim port on the market, the PC version was the best. There is no debate. It ran at a higher framerate, looked better, and had mod support.

Compared to the likes of Oblivion and Morrowind , Skyrim had far fewer issues pertaining to save corruption or crashes. The game had its fair share of bugs and issues, but fans of the game could create mods using the Creation Kit to fix nearly everything wrong with it. Adding to this, a script extender was created by the community, which allowed for an exponential amount of additional features to be incorporated into mods and player's games.
