Skyrim's coming to yet another console, the Nintendo Switch. I haven't looked around to see if there will be mod support, but with Nintendo I kinda doubt it.

Sure there will be.

Once it gets jailbroken.

Don't know if that'll be happening this time though. They're getting better at protecting their assets. The 3DS took quite awhile to break and it's still not really completely broken due to how they keep patching all the ways to bypass it.

SuMo dataminers have outright said that hacking the game is hopeless, so apparently they're getting good.

On the other hand, it's impossible to make an unhackable system that you want to actually work.

Anyway, it appears to be the special edition, so there's a chance

What's SuMo?

[Ultimuh]

So.. Skyrim Special Edition should be out by now. And I'm wondering..
Should everything about that be posted here, or should it have its own thread?
It is just a purely hypothetical question though.

[Putnam]

i will say from experience that it's the same thing

True enough.

[Xantalos]

Isn't it just a graphics update and consoles being able to have mods now? Doesn't seem like much of a change.

[Ultimuh]

Well it was just a hypothetical question any way.

[NullForceOmega]

Not really even a graphics update, looks exactly the same as the 2k textures pack they released for free, just some improvements to lighting.  It is so very fast tho'.

[Putnam]

much slower on my computer than my graphics-modded-like-crazy vanilla skyrim install, funnily enough

[NullForceOmega]

Weird, it loads stupendously faster on my system, but I've got a lot of mods, and some of them are pretty script heavy, so that may have some impact.

[smirk]

The new engine has native x64 support, so that might help a bit.

Hmm. Installing this might well require uninstalling my old and perfectly modded Skyrim for its space on my HD. Better make a list of mods first. Not sure it's worth the effort..

What? Doesn't it install in its own directory?

[smirk]

It does, but my drive is almost full. Gotta make space somehow.

(I mean, I've got a second drive with enough space free, but it's an old platter drive while my main is an SSD. Probably wouldn't make that much difference, but... bah.)

[Ultimuh]

Brodual recently released a small list of a few changes, other than graphical ones, that's included in SE.
Although that last one didn't seem like something to brag about. But the rest of them are a welcome change.

Grab some cheap writeable DVDs and make a copy of your exiting installation, if you've already got it working perfectly. That way you can revert if you can't get the new edition modded and working to the same level.
