disi: In Skyrim. Apart of some accomplishments I don't see any special integration with Steam
WingedKagouti: Well, if you ignore Steam Cloud and Workshop, then yea no integration.
Yes, the game can be run without those. But denying that they are integration with Steam is a bit misleading.
OK, if you are into Steam-Workshop. But this also means you stay in your comfy Steam-Bubble and do not look anywhere else. No need to not have Steam run your application here.
I thought you were asking if it can run outside of Steam.
p.s. Do not take this offensive. I do not believe in social networks, Steam-Anything-Bubble or GOG-Galaxy-Bubble. All I want from games is entertainment and if I delete my savegames, I would have to play them again (and why not).
