Actually they still do sell the original on Steam but they unlisted it from the store, i guess to make it harder for people to find. If you search for it in the store it won't show up.

Yeah, a standard search on Steam doesn't bring that version up at all. Jeez. Still, I think Bethesda will screw up the gog release by not including the original like they did with Doom 3 BFG.

Ya i'm still holding off on buying Doom 3 BFG hoping they'll release the original :/. Probably just kinda wind up getting the original on Steam and maybe the BFG edition here because i think it has extra levels not in the original. I saw that new trailer for that Phobos mod for Doom 3 but it's only compatible with the original i believe :(.

The extra levels arent worth it, they start off real well done, but after the first few hell levels you can tell they were a tad rushed and dont look good or play as well. basically, lost missions starts off strong, but really starts to lose steam and design towards the end, not worth the money, and I regret dropping the money on the BFG edition.

And yes, Phobos is only for the original release of Doom 3 so you are better off getting that instead, and maybe hopefully it will come out on GOG in the future, but like I said I would avoid the BFG Edition.

Another Thursday, another disappointment. You gotta give us something GOG! >.<

What a lame Thursday!

Unfortunately, there is no superior version of the game - you either get better mod compatibility with Oldrim or much improved performance with SE.

While better mod support might seem the superior choice, the reality is that performance (and the capability to utilize modern hardware) directly impacts the number of demanding mods that you can use together and the extent of what those mods can add to the game (for example, the number of characters involved in large battles before frame rate tanks).

SKSE directly enables many of the mods which contribute to the continued popularity and sales of the game, and it really is a shame that Bethesda did not work with the SKSE team to implement those functions out-of-box in SE. Whatever the rationale, it gives the impression of taking those modders for granted, assuming they would jump to recreate/adapt the large amount of work they had already put into SKSE.

That being said, SKSE for SE is available now - Is anyone familiar with the current state of mod compatibility with SE in general? It's been a while since I've read anything about it.

Edit: To be clear - I do hope SE is released on GOG with Oldrim included as a bonus goodie.

Hmm i have been out of touch with the game for quite a while now so i didn't know this so thanks for lettiing me know, SKSE in the SE is great but the question still remains, have the script extender been updated ? if not then there's going to be issues running those mods so if not hopefully they will get to it.

I'm done with Skyrim even modded but for those who still play i hope the SKSE turn things around and that Bethesda when they decide to release on GOG still give players the option to run LE just in case the extender isn't updated properly because i haven't a lot of faith in Bethesda anymore.

Achtung! Intruder alert! GOG team report immediately!

Will they ever release Celeste I wonder?

maybe if we spell "skyrim" one letter a post without being interrupted theyll give us some bethsheda releases :D

Would love to see some more Obsidian games like Alpha Protocol or South Park: The Stick of Truth. But Sega seems like a long shot to sign on and Ubisoft seemed to forget about GOG a long time ago.

Or maybe it's Reverse Thursday... !!!mirykS
