Is it worth waiting for the remaster?

[Delfo]

I would like to start another playthrough but I am curious if I should wait for the new remastered version to release before I do?

It's the same game...

Yes, but with graphical enhancements. Is that enough justification to wait for the release?

[Rüdiger J Simpson]

the "out of the box" graphical enhancements are pretty minor tbh, and can be achieved with mods already. what gets ppl excited is true 64bit and dx11.

It is a couple of days, the troll is strong in this one. Not.

[Mr. Mannperson]

If you use mods extensively then forget about the update for a few months. Maybe a year.
By then, either all the cool mods will have been switched over to 64 bit of there will be detailed instructions on how to recompile em, and we might have some crazy stuff to play with that would make the old version ♥♥♥♥ itself and die from the complexity.

That or not enough people will give a crap lol. That's possible too. I pretty sure Chesko's gonna support it tho, and consoles too. I think I read somethin about a stripped-down Frostfall.

Well, I just finished a playthrough, so I'm not going to start another one this week. But that said, the game comes out in three days. Seriously. Three days.

Be aware though that you're not going to get a bunch of mods in three days. If there are mods you absolutely cannot play without, then don't bother.

As for me, I'll check it out, and update my own mods (if updating tools are available). And then I'll come back around Christmas and do a fresh vanilla playthough. Because I haven't done a vanilla playthrough in at least two years.

Okay thanks all! I'll wait for the remaster :)

I just tried a vanilla play through this week as a sort of practice run without SkyUI etc..

It was ♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful - lol. Playing without Timing is Everything made me realise just how bad the DLC is incorporated into the base game.

By level 10 not only did I have Dragons, DB assassins, Afflicted whotsits, Hired Thugs ( well, perhaps I shouldn't have stolen that book ) coming after me but already Master Vampires and Cultists were out in force. If no guards were nearby for me to kite them to I was as good as dead and had to resort to sprinting into the nearest water etc.. At level 11 I decided to drop the difficulty to Apprentice when the last Vampire attack resulted in FIVE dead Whiterun guards.

The DLC cuts in far too early to be enjoyable and - before anyone starts - the only skills I'd developed were Bow, Sword and Board, and a little smithing ( no paid training ). Hmm.. This is going to be a tough challenge, but then I love a good challenge. Roll on Friday!

Chesko, Arthmoor, and a few mod makers are already hard at work porting their mods over to the remastered version of the game for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Some of those mods are already available waiting for us to enjoy in a few days. A big thanks to the mod authors.

As to the OP. You can start now and have fun playing the game and in a few days you can then play the remaster. You might be able to port the character over or just start a new one and keep the other character on the 32 bit version of the game. Both versions are considered separate games.

It's only 3 days, I think you'll make it.
Not worth playing and then losing progress if you decide you want to play the new version.

Is the remaster just a graphics update though? Whd do you need to wait?

It is, yes. That is why I originally posted the question. The wait is worth it because of a higher potential for mods in the future I believe. So I pondered wether it was worth the wait or not because by the time great mods are on the remastered efition I may have finished my play through..

[choylifutsoccer]

no not really for consoles yes but for PC not really! On PC if you want better graphics download ENB mods.

I dislike that some graphical mods also implement gameplay mechanics. I know I can just not download them but then I had beautiful fauna and ugly lighting or something. So I never really modded as I just want to enjoy the vanilla game for what it is before I mod and potentially make the game something it wasn't intended to be.

You're that one form the college. Heard about you.
