Hmm. I know. And knew then. It was written down and always worked from the note when required. Until phut time. Thanks for trying to help though.

I wouldn't say never but that's pretty close as Gog haven't even bothered to try and forecast a date/year....wait..I just got an update, it's coming in

I was telling you that your statement is entirely false.

I have a feeling when the new elder scrolls game comes out we might see Skyrim come here, I know they still have use for the game with the mods thing and all. I'm sure they are gonna milk that dry then when it makes no sales or has any interest they will toss it here.

Seems to be a trend with a lot of these game devs. look at river city girls, we are not getting it for a while cause sales of other sites come first than we get it when sales dies down.

Update, we just got the city river girls here. see? why they did not release it on day 1 is cause of pirated sales losses. they waited for the release sales numbers to drop and boom here it is. people where talking about it on the steam forums and seems to be correct from past history releases.

Crawl back in your hole,troll.

I was under the belief that some (not all) mods are tied down to having a Bethesda account. I worded my post poorly, but what I wanted to get across is that I want the game to be here in some form without that extra step. For example, "Oldrim," as people call it, would be quite welcome.

Ah. As I myself do not use Steam Workshop, I didn't know if there was something specific that it did to tie playing mods downloaded only through Steam.

Not sure I understand either. Most mods are publicly available on nexus, moddb etc. Those mods which are tied to steam workshop are tied there because the creator wants them to be. Gog would need to approach each modder and ask them to release the files publicly. Or do you expect a workshop equivalent in galaxy, if so then that’s just as bad as drm, some of us refuse to use galaxy, and that would just mean content locked behind a client.
So the issue really is modders using a drm platform to distribute rather than a public space, so not going to change.

Just adding, a quick search seems to indicate that special edition uses creators club (Bethesda own mod shop), so even worse. Just shows how bad these different proprietary things are and should not be supported by anyone interested in drm free (not that it really matters any more).

Skyrim SE is ingrained into Creators Club with many mods still being released, there is code in-place to remove that and make a standalone edition, there is but a single DLL call that needs removed in the executable to do this. But patches are still coming out for SSE which means we wont see it here :(

This is the same argument for Fallout 4.. though they have finalized it as much and only release Creator Club content, sparingly. That game is dead while Skyrim is still going strong in other consoles, VR, and the mod community.

So many conversations within Bethesda about how to make sure Starfield is Skyrim and not Fallout 4. Wonder what they think the key is.

Going from the enchanting freedom of Morrowind to Oblivion (not to mention access to the enchanting table had a long quest to do) was VERY disappointing.

A bit of a bummer.

Yeah, once the Creation Club started coming about, and kept me from running my modded game due to the Script Extender not working, I rolled back, and disabled all automatic updates on those games. As far as I could tell back then, all it did was want me to spend money rather than fixing bugs that were still present. I'm assuming it's still the same thing now.

Especially when paying full price at launch.

Oblivion has a pretty decent intro(with patrick stewart's voice being part of it's charm) and premise to begin with...without some nagging stuff like low inventory limits/level scaled enemies/omniscient town guards it could be much more tolerable and dare I say it maybe even fun.
