Discussion
Skyrim continues to blow my mind like Fallout 4 can't. I can throw HD textures at Skyrim and despite the memory limits of the 32bit engine it takes them, loads quickly, it displays them, there's not texture load lag with low res for a few seconds unlike Fallout's 64bit engine on which I have removed texture updates to try and make then load immediately and they still don't, perhaps it's in need of another patch update. Fallout 4 load times are so much longer too.
New start in Riverwood, new character. Spent yesterday and tonight reinstalling and then installing new mods, used to have over 200 plugins but I have limited myself to just 133 but with all the new ones around in the last 2 years since I last played there's some great ones to install. Environment, textures, gameplay, dual wielding/carry weapons, animations...loads. Basically started with youtuber Hodilton's installed mods and then added more.
Need to remove the black bars from the ENB and off I go probably to a quick death because I have all the increased populations, bandit, patrols, increased AI, and Combat realism mods installed.

I wonder if there will be any new content?
I hope some new dlc will come out.Reading on some of the yank sites that the patent for the name redguard has been extended by bethesda.
"The sky" was another patent name held, but that one has lapsed.
It might not mean anything, but with the popularity the game still has, it has a market.

Interesting, it would be nice to see a new DLC. Reading on some of the yank sites that the patent for the name redguard has been extended by bethesda.

As the previous poster said I won't be too bothered if not, but I think a full price game should come with a bit extra.

So best to run this with no mods then?
To begin with, some may work some may not but there are sure to be mods for Enderal.Make a copy of your Skyrim folder call it 'The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim - modded'. Then delete Skyrim local content from steam, and then reinstall. You will have two Skyrim folders in steam now.
eg. something like:
The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim <----- the new installation
The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim - modded
drop the Enderal files into "The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim" and run that. If you want to run your modded Skyrim change the folder names around like this
The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim - vanilla
The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim
Make a copy of the Skyrim folder in MyGames as well just in case.

Yes but it's easier to swap between the two. I deleted the back up it makes in the Enderal folder. As I didn't know how it handled it all until it was all installed.
I still have some things to try out on Skyrim since I did a reinstall the other week, plus with the remastered version coming that might overwrite the original or might not...anyway disc space is cheap
