Steam usually runs their big summer sale around the end of July and considering Skyrims age there will likely be at least a 50% sale, and possibly better on one of the flash sales, so it may be worth waiting until then.

I'm betting waaay more than that for Skyrim. It's gone at least 75% in the past hasn't it?

The bigger question is what are they going to put the Skyrim bundle down for. It may be old but its expansions are not as old as it.

It's weird to think of Skyrim as old already.....

Yes, on the flash sales(or it may have been 66%), although I think the dlc that were available at the time didn't drop below 50%.

Indeed, although it may be worth checking if buying the game and dlc separately during a sale is cheaper, which is sometimes the case.

Personally I'm hoping Dragonborn goes to 75% off over the summer but I guess it's just wishful thinking for the dlc to be reasonably priced for a day.

The Skyrim Legendary Edition (basically Skyrim + all DLC) 4 or 7 of June (depending on where you live) is coming out. I don't know if there'll be a digital version, but if there is then it may be better to wait for that.

If Fallout NV Wasteland Edition came out to steam surely legendary will make it too.

I might be about to start Skyrim again after 4 or 5 failed attempts to get into the game and have a few questions.

Are Shouts essential for progressing through most guilds or random/side quests?

  I prefer just to be able to jump off the boat and head any direction for free roam adventuring but it takes a while to eventually get to the "summoning" or etc etc and get things progressed to have shouts proper.  Would it be ok to avoid the quests to get shouts straight away or would that result in a broken experience?

I think id put over 50 hours before seeing Caius or Jauffre in previous games so would that be reasonable in Skyrim too without making it too lop sided/broken?

Thx in advance.

I believe there is only one side quest that requires a shout.

You won't be able to complete that one sidequest (it's not marked or anything, so it barely counts), but aside from no Dragons (because you don't need to do Bleak Falls either) there is no difference.

so long as you avoid the main quest shouts are almost totally unnecessary. If you bite the bullet and finish the initial thing around whiterun to unlock shouts and dragon attacks you can safely ignore the rest and still Fus Ro Dah people off the mountains.

There has only been like 2 real DLC's for Skyrim so far, right? Dawnguard and Dragonborne?
