Recently the medium IGN interviewed Todd Howard on the occasion of the launch of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition. The journalist in question let go in front of the manager that the announcement of a new version of Skyrim it had already become a meme. But good old Todd had already answered it in a previous interview, where he had come to say that would stop releasing versions of Skyrim when will we stop buying it. There is no lack of truth and reason. And here we are, ten years after the original’s release, with a new version in our hands, this time yes, it seems the definitive.
There has been a lot and a long time written about Skyrim, so we did not want to do an analysis to use, to note, of this new edition. In this text, I will present my experience with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition. The goal is for you to come from where you came from, whether this is your first time in Skyrim or whether you are coming from the Special Edition or the original, be clear if the news brought by this anniversary version is enough to return to a title that has been on the market for ten years.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition, novedades destacadas.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition It is the most complete edition to date of the title of Bethesda. This edition is accompanied various improvements for new generation consoles and with content that previous versions had already incorporated. On the web we made a news with all the content of this new version. First of all, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition
In short, a lot of content. TES V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition bring more than five hundred paid creations from the Creation Club, a tool available since 2017 with which we can create content for the title. This Creation Club was nourished by different content, some created by the user community and others by Bethesda itself. To access these items, you had to pay a real money amount (translated into Creation Club coins). That is to say, is a store where you can buy armor, weapons, new missions, new modes ….everything you can think of. Of course, if we buy each of the content that this brings Anniversary edition it would be much more expensive buy full title.
In addition yesand they added four new creations, some created for this version. Saints and seducers brings new main and side missions with a separate story. The bill Fishing adds some fun entertainment that is almost related to the other add-on, the Survival mode, which we believe to be the most important addition and which we will talk about later.
Skyrim new generation
Once our game is launched, we started to check the differences compared to its previous version. First, let’s talk about performance. To be clear, Skyrim never looked so good on a console. Graphics and performance improvements, without being a radical change far from it, are evident from the first few minutes. They improved the textures of objects and terrain, gain in sharpness and resolution. The lighting has also been touched up, making it look perhaps more artificial, but very attractive and which leaves us wonderful photos of the landscape of Skyrim. The game also gains in fluidity, with a stable 60fps like a rock and now yes, with official seal optimized for Xbox Series X / S.
The most obvious changes are in its playable aspect. There are lots of new items, weapons, armor, you can buy farms, the ability to manage a farm, even new missions. These contents add up, but with the exception of the new missions, nothing really changes from previous experiences with the game. It’s time to focus on who I think it is the real “gamechanger” for what it was until now Skyrim
Survival Mode, the big playable change
With this mode activated, things change a bit, add a survival component and a bit of realism to the experience. Our character will have to eat, so now the possibility of buying food at the tavern, before a simple procedure, oh hunting and cooking are now very important. He gives it a meaning and a logic that it didn’t have before, if your character does not eat, he dies.
In the same way, fatigue wreaks havoc on our hero, again much more logical to pay for a bed at the hostel to sleep and recuperate. One of the contents of the Creation Club, the Camping, to be able to sleep wherever we are. The cold is another enemy that we will have to fight, and here the outfits add a “warmth” value, as well we will have to prepare well for the frozen areas. Advice: always carry torches with you, because they prevent us from freezing when we wear them.
As if all that wasn’t enough, Survival mode also modifies other base skins of the game as important as above. Our life bar will no longer regenerate on its own, we will have to use spells, potions or eat. Another important aspect that some will put their hands on is that fast travel is disabled
