Do you think the new Skyrim Edition is a good or bad thing for the Game and its Community?

  1. It's great if a bit annoying

  2. It's terrible, but at least there are freebies

    What do you think of this update? A good thing or not?

    I think it is pretty cool that they released 26 whole new mods and made a few free for owners of the SpecialEdition, but it kind of sucks too that all mods using and relying on the SkyrimScriptExtender (SKSE, a tool used by many modders to create scripts for the game) need to be updated on top of SKSE itself.
    Which means that apart from waiting for a week or two until SKSE is updated, you will need to wait a while again for all the mods whose authors are active to get updated and unfortunately, some mods may take ages to get updated if the author is neither active nor gives permission for someone else to update their mod. All old SKSE mods are highly likely to no longer work with this new patch to Skyrim.

    Apart from this news, I just downloaded Assassin's Creed Chronicles (China, India, Russia) from UbisoftConnect as they are free today! Pretty cool too.

    It’s a paid update to my Xbox. Since I love my mods, I ignore it. Problem solved. :D
