The special edition exists solely to remove the ability to use most of the mods from the original and add a way for bethesda to make money off of 1% of the original selection. http://store.steampowered.com/app/72850/The_Elder_Scrolls_V_Skyrim/
There is the original version (Hidden from view,) please buy this instead.

Got this for free for owning the standard edition. Opened it once, never played it again. I'm only writing this review now because bethesda does not deserve anyones money or support anymore.

They've Hidden the standard edition in the steam store. You can't find it without owning it or getting a link for the store page from someone or somewhere else.

They've removed the legendary edition from the store completely, it was the same price tag but had years of mods built for it, mods that you didn't have to pay for, or go through bethesdas garbage creation club for.

They continue to make more versions of this game instead of working on new projects, and still can't be bothered to fix the more pressing bugs and issues with the game. This game is nothing but a cash cow to them, and their customers are nothing but walking wallets.

paid mods. lone of the worst ideas ever and a blatant middle finger to the mod creators and those who play the game modded, which to be fair, is the only way to play the game.

Bethesda cares less about their community than EA at this point.

This was my first Bethesda game. For a week straight, I found myself waking up every morning with the uncontrollable desire to play it. If you want a game that'll ruin your relationships and turn you
