I know this for a fact. Skyrim itself doesn't need Steam. Workshop integration, etc. are merely extra features, which can be nice, but are not dependencies that would be required for the game to run. As we all know Skyrim runs on a wide (perhaps too wide) range of devices that have nothing at all to do with Steam. That alone is proof enough.

Bigs: Being online / having to connect to Bethesda.net / able to buy credits through Steam only

GR00T: That can be dealt with/disabled just like Steam integration.
you dont have to be connected to Bethesda.net to play the game though or is it the only place for modding

CMOT70: After Bethesda have finished the Samsung Smart Fridge and Motorola Pager ports.
okay i just had to buy a samsung smart fridge right now just to be prepared when the port is gonna be released -.- .
Is it already known of the game is gonna run when you put the fridge to a 5 setting or do you have to tune it down to a 3 to free enough resources? :D

I've put in over 100 hours on both Skyrim and Fallout 4 and have never connected to Bethesda.net

Zetikla: or is it the only place for modding
I got all my dozens and dozens of mods from Nexusmods. Never connected to Bethesda.net, as noted above, and never used Creation Club or Steam Workshop.

Correct and there is a lot of mod places out there but Nexus is the best.

100 seems on the low end at least for Skyrim (haven't played FO4, but spent 400h in FO3 alone...)

Perhaps so. But for me that's a fair bit. And it's over 100 hours on the original as well as the SE. Still, yeah, 400 is pretty dedicated.

I doubt they’ll release the old version here. There’s really no incentive for them to what with Special Edition being their focus now and I doubt they’ll release Special Edition here as well due to its in game link to Bethesda.net. The release of SSE is new territory for them and I think the only reason their older games showed up here is because of that.

Wait... Now that I think about it. Is Skyrim the new Doom?

MadalinStroe: On topic, I doubt they'll ever release it here on GOG. The game depends a lot on Steam's Mod Workshop, I don't even know if that's how it's called.
The game does not depend on Steam Workshop, and Skyrim is modded in that manner only by VALVe tools and the lazy. Everyone else uses Nexus, MODDB, and, occasionally, mod specific websites by the more neurotic, control freak modders.

If we look at the obvious patterns, it'll be when The Elder Scrolls VI: Elsewyr gets released. However, we will have to use the 3rd party editors, since that is tied to steam.

I seem to recall that there were a lot of comments on Steam that the "new" Skyrim was just another shameless cash-grab, and the old version is well-hidden.

Special Edition is just a fancy rename for the GOTY release (all the official DLC, including the HD textures) with some added mods that weren't released for the original (basically, added fog effects, enbs, and stuff). Steam users got it for free, and the original is still available for those that already owned it. It makes sense not to call it GOTY edition, because it's more than just all the DLC and official mods, but it's essentially that.

EDIT:

Oh, and the creator's club is basically the special compromise: Modders wanted to be able to sell mods (which was a problem at one point), so the creator's club allows mods to apply for special paid status at which point bethesda acts as a middle-man and ensuring quality so that they don't take the flack when someone buys a mod that they didn't OK but blames them for it anyway.

People pirated the mod tools? They're free, iirc, you don't even need the base game to get them either, but i could be wrong. I'm still not sure how that thing works. Or are you confusing the mod tools for skyrim with skyrim itself, 'cause everyone's confirmed skyrim has easily been divorced from steam, even Nintendo and Sony have managed to point this out.
