Free Upgrade to Remaster?
If we own Skyrim without any dlc just the main game, will we get the upgrade to the special edition or not?

All the information we have so far says you have to own Skyrim + All DLC's or the Legendary Edition in order to get it for free...

My guess is the special edition has all the DLC built in. So, to give it away, for free, to people who only have the base game would also give them the DLC (that other people paid for) for free. Which would be a bit rubbish...

Confirmed. If you own Base game + all DLC on PC, you get Special Edition for free.

The Legendary Edition or the base game + all DLCs (the same thing really).

Legendary can be grabbed for super cheap these days anyway, usually cheaper than buying the single DLCs.

Yeah I know the legendary is cheap but I got the base game. Is the dlc usually cheap during Steam Summer Sale?

Though this may seem illogical, from experience of watching the sales, its often cheaper to buy the legendary edition on sale than it is to buy the DLC's on sale.

Generally though, yes, the DLC's do come on sale during the various steam Sales. I think its how I got mine. I don't recall paying much for them...

That's what I did. During the sale in which I upgraded, the DLC didn't go on sale at all, so it was much cheaper to just buy the Legendary Edition as an upgrade, of sorts.

So you got the legendary edition and even though you already had the base game?

But the Legendary Editions been taken off the Steam Store, meaning you will have to buy the DLC seperately anyway

Yah, it was cheaper that way than buying the individual DLCs, or any DLC bundles.

other websites like bundlestas sell the game and dlc and legendary versions also so just because it isn't on steam for sale doesn't mean you can't legally purchase the product.:riften:

So, since I have all the DLCs + the base game, I'll get it for free, even though it says I don't own the special edition.
