It's time to celebrate the 14 years of making games last forever. We're doing that by releasing one of the most anticipated games by the community – The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

The game is widely considered one of the best video games of all time and has received credit for popularizing large open-world role-playing games. After many requests from our users and being released on almost every appliance that is able to run the game, the acclaimed RPG is available on GOG in two versions – The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition (-50%) and Special Edition (-67%).

It is worth mentioning that Skyrim on GOG comes with a dedicated build, to give users the best possible adventure in Tamriel. The game is entirely playable offline thanks to GOG’s DRM-free nature and gives users the Anniversary Edition content without the need for Creation Club access.

As the game is recognized as one of the most modded titles in the history of video games, support for community-created content in Skyrim was one of our top priorities. The GOG version is compatible out of the box with most modifications mods via Nexus Mods Vortex v1.6.12 and newer. Support for mods requiring Skyrim Script Extender will be added later today. Additionally, GOG is preparing something special to provide an even smoother experience with mods – expect more details soon.

Take the chance to travel to Tamriel before the discounts on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim editions end on 13th October, 10 PM UTC. Also, join us in celebration of the 14th GOG Anniversary which will last until October 9th, 2022, at 10 PM UTC.
Well let's go buy Skyrim on yet another platform. Good job GOG. This was a very pleasant surprise.
Amazing!
Thank you and Happy Birthday!

dtgreene: Trying to decide if I should get this game.

It lacks the main feature that drew me into the franchise (spellmaking), but it at least has enchanting, and the growth system lacks some of the issues that the Morrowind/Oblivion system had.
The enchanting mechanism is so completely broken (as in potentially overpowered enough to cause an variable overrun combined with alchemy) as you would expect from the spellmaking mechanic. So that should interest you.
YES!!! Finally!!!

My understanding is that it only really breaks the game if you use Fortify Restoration potions.

On the other hand, I do remember seeing a video where the player did that, and it was strange seeing the modern font on the menu showing that something would provide some large, possibly negative, percentage boost to something or other.

To the point of crashing: probably necessary
To the point of breaking the game balance: not necessary
Wow!
I didn't expect that.
Am I dreaming? Or is this the reality?

chandra: FUS RO DAH!!!

Soo extremely happy that we can FINALLY share this news with you! The long-awaited Skyrim is here :)
Hi chandra!
Instabought! Great to see this finally release here, and looking forward to what else you have in store for us! Thanks GOG and Bethesda!
Might get the Anniversary Edition eventually from a sale in the future. If I remember why I wanted it.
I don't use modern Windowses though and the only way I care to know how to use Windows things on Linux - which I don't much like - is to launch them using Steam. :')

I'd be interested to see Legendary Edition included too, and both Creation Kits,

I don't see a mention of Creation Kit on the page so I guess it is not there. (yet?)

Does the Special Edition come WITHOUT the DLCs Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn?

It was about time Bethesda release this on another platform. xD

Enjoy, you people who waited 11 years, 11 months, 11 days, 11 hours, 11 minutes and 11 seconds for this moment.

They should be included with the Special Edition. Though, it is somewhat misleading that it only mentions those expansions in the Anniversary Edition details. (The Steam page is the same way.)
