3WINTERS Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Oh sorry, I didn't hear what you were saying over all those dragon shouts.... No but seriously apart from the initial install and registration and maybe (hopefully not) early update like NV, steamworks won't be a problem for me. I don't have the kind of internet that I can have connected all the time so I basically play in offline mode and thus avoid updates untill I personally chose to get them myself. of course downside might be I miss out on steam achievements for the game but personally I'm not fussed for public showings of achievement badges.

huntsman2310a Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Steam is a pretty good platform nowadays. Anyway as long as they have the retail version seperate from Steam, I'm satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwolfhunter Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) So what does Steamworks mean for Modding? What about installing to my custom Games folder (Makes it easy for me to mod and keep track of my games.)Will I need to be always online for Skyrim now?Will I need to always be on Steam to play? Also, it seems clear that retail versions will use Steamworks as well.Thus my questions. Edited August 18, 2011 by Nightwolfhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can play offline whenever you like.Doesn't effect modding at all, OBSE included.You can install games in other directories but you have to go through an extra step of creating junction points with the command prompt, at least thats how I did it.
