Updated version of Skyrim with new features and improvements.
The DLC for the house building isn't included in the base game, but you can still receive the remaster if you purchase the DLC after its release.
Not sure, they never clearly mentioned if it worked post-release.
You don't have to, but you can still purchase hearthfire now. They say you can buy it before or after the 28th, otherwise you won't be able to.
The core experience shines stronger, especially with a 64-bit setup, offering the potential to outdo the original Skyrim when it comes to mods.
There are already numerous modifications available, including ENB, making it even more appealing. This update offers a refreshed experience for PC players since the application now runs natively on 64-bit systems, handling significantly more memory. This allows developers to enhance visuals further, addressing previous limitations that caused crashes and instability due to memory constraints. Personally, I find the initial look a bit unusual: after starting a new character this morning, the lighting effects are decent, similar to what mid-range ENB mods have achieved before. However, the character textures and models still appear quite low quality. It's concerning to see beautiful backgrounds with light beams and soft shadows only to notice NPCs look heavily distorted and pixelated. Still, it’s been hours since the update, and many mods are being added soon. Once they’re available, the visuals should improve dramatically, especially with the free expansions you can purchase today.
It works well across various aspects, but having over 1,100 characters without the game crashing is a major upgrade for the engine—something the 32-bit Skyrim version struggled with, even with ENBoost. This could lead to more intense battles once mods are applied.
The details have been enhanced, suggesting an HD texture pack was used. But you're having issues applying those packs to the original Skyrim version.
