twiztedmongoloid Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 If your a console player the choice is easy. For PC players i would stick with the 32 bit skyrim until SKSE is other dependent mods are carried over. I personally cant go back to regular skyrim without a overhaul like requiem along with other graphical mods. So i am still playing 32 bit due to that.

twiztedmongoloid Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I would recommend LE Skyrim on PC, and SE on consoles. Just don't let people try to convince you that LE is totally unplayable on PC without mods, or that SE is a vastly superior product. LE has sold over 20 million copies, and won over 200 Game-of-the-Year awards in 2011 before mods even existed. There is also the very real possibility that SE won't even run properly on your computer. There are even those who suggest that SE only exists to divide and weaken the modding community as retribution for Bethesda's damaged reputation as a result of the backlash against paid mods. But that's crazy.... I dont think anyone means its unplayable.....but when your used to a heavily modded skyrim (and not just graphically) its VERY hard to go back to a near vanilla skyrim. So until mods like Requiem are carried over....i cant play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rethrain Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I agree. The waiting is not bad, though(plenty of stuff to do anyways). I have reg Skyrim just the way I want to, after years. I don't want to tire myself playing vanilla/near vanilla Skyrim SE, and then doing it all over again when I finally mod it. And SKSE, gotta have that. Mostly that. And Skyre, feels weird being without it. As for the answer to the question...Well...Twistedmongoloid already answered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantompally76 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 There is definitely a concerted effort to elevate the SE over LE by Bethesda, mod authors, and this website, obfuscated by the notion that we will always have a choice between the two. But ultimately, authors (especially the hostile ones who despise providing support for even one platform, let alone two) will abandon the LE altogether as time goes by, citing constraints of a 32-bit engine or bemoaning how they don't have time to make mods for two different versions of the game for no monetary compensation. Some of the better ones will continue to release for both platforms, but that will eventually be the exception rather than the norm. Personally, I find no redeeming qualities in the SE. It runs like crap on each of my computers (one of which is only a year old), I have found it to be 10x more unstable than LE, which negates its only advertised advantage, and I feel that its entire purpose was and is to divide the modding community, which it has successfully achieved. Skyrim LE is what I signed up for. I've been happy with it for five years, and that has not changed just because Bethesda rereleased the same product with marginally better grass and a bunch of yellow crap in the air. But it's up to the individual to decide. SE is free for PC users who own LE. The real choice is whether you buy into the hype and drink the Kool-Aid that claims that SE is vastly superior to LE, because that is demonstrably not true.

Maddy21 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) I would say Stick to Regular skyrim, for some reason i have noticed no performance or stability improvements in SE as many have claimed, but then i have a shitty computer. Besides, i can't stand Vanilla Skyrim UI without mods like Requiem. You don't even need an ENB to make Skyrim look Great...
