Hi, my name is ColdBeer and on November 11th Bethesda will be releasing another new version
of Skyrim.
That you can buy.
Again.
They call it “the most definitive version of Skyrim to date”.
It may sound like a joke, but they are completely serious.
So after a few years we will probably get the specialiest special edition to date, then
special definitive edition anniversary edition and then, one hundred years later, a century
edition of editions will include all the previously released editions and special editions.
By then our great grandchildren will still be waiting for Elder Scrolls 6 to be released
so they will gladly buy this edition of editions.
And Focus the Oculory quest will still be bugged by then.
So what does this most definitive edition of Anniversary Edition of Skyrim bring us?
Well, quite a few things.
It will include Skyrim Special Edition, Skyrim's DLCs: Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn,
then Next-generation improvements for Skyrim SE, All 48 previously released Creation Club
items and 26 new Creation Club items.
The Creation club itself, if you somehow lived under the rock in the middle of the ocean
on a distant planet in a parallel universe and never heard of it, is basically a marketplace
of paid mods.
Made by Bethesda or by a third party.
These are great quality mods, all inspected by Bethesda itself, but obviously this introduced
microtransactions to Skyrim and that sucks in general.
Imagine if you have been making delicious potato salad your whole life and suddenly
you realize that there are more ingredients you can add.
In general you don’t want to ruin your perfect recipe, but you are tempted to try that new
stuff, so you spend more and more money every time you make a potato salad instead of eating
the one which is perfectly good.
In total, Bethesda says that the 74 Creation Club items will be included with Skyrim AE
to represent over 500 new gameplay elements.
Players who don't upgrade to Anniversary Edition on November 11 are also getting four Club
items for free.
Let’s talk about those, free stuff is always awesome.
So You will receive the Saints and Seducers quest expansion,
It revolves around the machinations of a manic mage, who has weakened the barriers between
the Shivering Isles and Tamriel, allowing madness to seep through.
This Creation adds new summons, enemies, alchemy ingredients, a new dungeon, recruitable pets,
two artifacts, four craftable armor and weapon sets, a quest and several side quests, all
themed around the Shivering Isles.
Then you will get Rare Curious expansion which adds 51 ingredients from Morrowind, Oblivion,
and Shivering Isles.
Some of these ingredients have new effects from the previous games.
It also includes poisoned apples, Ayleid treasures, new arrows and bolts.
You will get a Survival Mode as well, which makes Skyrim more realistic or, you know,
more annoying, because it introduces all the basic survival techniques from survival games
such as cold, hunger, sleep and so on.
From now on your journeys through the vast landscape of Skyrim you will have to do all
those things if you don’t want to die a stupid death.
Imagine, you are fighting some master vampire and all you can think is Sweetrolls and potato
salad.
The vampire itself will become a minor inconvenience in the face of real danger - the cave vampire
lives in is really cold and you don’t like fighting in cold.
It’s not what you do anymore.
You are a delicate flower.
To be honest you will become such a whiner hero, people will rather choose dragons to
burn them alive instead of hearing all your complaints.
And the last stuff you will get for free is fishing - you will be able to catch fish,
hang their dead bodies on the wall or imprison them in aquariums for life.
This is a really nice addition, not gonna lie.
When I was playing World of Warcraft some 8 years ago, I spent almost all my time fishing
stuff in different locations.
I love fishing in games, not fishing games, but fishing IN games, it’s relaxing and
also a very rewarding experience.
But I hate fishing in real life.
My father is really good at this, but every time he took me fishing something bad happened.
For example, once I pierced my finger with a giant hook, meant for catching pikes, so
bad that my dad had to take a wire cutter to cut off the tip so I could remove it.
You know, it’s like an arrow, you can’t just pull it out, it has barbs.
So before that I had to push the hook all the way through my finger so the tip of the
hook would be outside my finger, not inside it.
I hope you are eating right now.
But anyway, in game I can’t hurt myself so I love the activity.
Another important question is - will this mess up all your mods?
Well, probably yes.
If you took your time and installed tens or even hundreds of improvements, all your hard
work could be in vain.
Modders expect that the Skyrim Script Extender, a main mod for many other Skyrim mods, will
need to be updated.
Developers suspect that other plugin mods will also be affected for an unknown length
of time until they can be updated.
So imagine a Skyrim without, for example, SkyUI or other quality of life improving mods.
So if you are afraid of your Skyrim falling apart, turn off auto-updates on Steam prior
to the November 11 launch.
The price of the Anniversary Edition is not known yet, also it’s hard to tell what it
will cost if you want to upgrade your Special Edition to an Anniversary Edition.
If you watch this video after November 11, you probably know more than I do now.

day and I’ll see you next time, bye.
