Will be running on a 64 bit engine (PC)

Modded Skyrim is amazing. Highly recommend checking out Skyrim Redone, completely changes perks (way more possible builds) and makes combat feel more intense-- take more damage, deal way more damage, all potions are HoTs... way too many things about SkyRe to list. But yeah, Skyrim with a few mods vs vanilla is night and day, definitely worth checking out.

hah yeah, and as good as the updated engine looks, it'll probably be modded to look even better just like the 32bit engine was.

He shoots he scores! No more 32bit limitations!

Area's load really fast.
Game looks twice as good if not better and it runs better then plain skyrim with graphic mods.
The denser grass and plants really help the immersion.
Lighting effects are really good, some take a little getting use to. Especially during certain types of weather. Weather feels denser too.

I would not say it's a 10/10 remaster. But the good out weighs the bad.
Definitely the version you want to play if you never beat skyrim or never played it before.

Same here. Finally, access to proper amounts of memory to run all the things.

Its current year and you still don't know how to allocate dedicated ram

It's the current year and there is still a limit to memory addressable by the game engine. Skyrim by default uses memory cells of 256MB. Once the first cell is full it creates a new cell. Skyrim has a problem with switching cells. With the 64bit engine it will become possible for the core game to access a much wider section of ram and may also allow for larger cells (without pushing the engine past its 32bit addressable space) thus eliminating the need for cell switching all together (a major cause of ctd and ils).

Same here (although luckily I didn't buy it) although I played it more than 15 minutes though. It's a personal thing and I was burnt out on the concept after Morrowing 2x and Oblivion 2x but still I don't see how the game is topping best of lists.

But... nice addition for those who did like the game.
