In a tweet, Pete Hines had this to say about the cover of the "Legendary Edition":
that is hideous
Take from that what you will, but that cover is most definitely not legit.

Eurogamer is reporting that a Polish retailer, Ultima, has listed Skyrim: Legendary Edition, which will contain the core game as well as all three game add-on packs, for sale with a release date of 7 June. It is currently unconfirmed by Bethesda Softworks.
Eurogamer reports that the PC version is listed for sale at 139.90 zł which works out to £29 and US$44. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are 169.90 zł or about £35 and US$54.
Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas all had similar bundle packs, referred to as Game of the Year editions.
Bethesda Softworks hasn't commented at this stage but we will update the news when they do.

A moderator has closed this comment topic for the time beingWhen I first read there weren't going to be any more DLC I felt like I got punched in the gut. Such a disappointment. So many unanswered questions.
Eradicate the entire Thalmor? That actually sounds like a great idea for the Beyond Skyrim crew!
skyrim, I really LOVE the game, best game ever, great gameplay,
skyrim, I really HATE the game, ctd,,,,,,,,ctd,,,,,,,ctd,,,,,,, and so on,
Legendary edition should have been "fixed" by Beth`,,,,,mmmm come to think of it m/s have been getting away with it for years,,,,,lol
I think Skyrim has been the game that equalled the thrill of borderlands 1 and 2 plus the magestic feeling of vangaurd : saga of heroes mmorpg that I so much enjoyed and still think has been the best mmorpg in every respect despite its failures. I wish them luck in the mmorpg industry. Still I have to say that i have quite some reservations about their move to the genre. The free to play model that has currently plagues the mmorpg industry has ruined the games irreparably. Instead of being f2p ( as path of exile is right now) it is pay to win. Games full of hysterical nerds that spend hundreds of dollars or euros to get the edge. Not to mention what the game will offer in terms of thrill, addiction and fun, aka quality for me, is still yet unknown.
The legendary edition is awesome. In ultra high setting on a low end pc like mine (old dual core intel + ati 5870) runs great even with x2 antiaaising with supersampling enbaled. I was never able to finish the game in the first play even after 150 hours spent in the game exploring on my lvl 64 char so now it is the right time to enjoy ONE of the most magnificent rpg games.
As for the future of PC....... the new xbox one + playstation 4 are simply now console version of PCs as they both incorporate the same amd+ati technology that will now enable developers to make games for all three (including the PC) without the need of porting them to the respective consoles. That will give devs more time and more resources to devote to pure gaming quality. I hope.
For those Diablo addicts, try path of exile, it is free to play (and I mean FREE).
That and it ruins the feeling of being a 'lone hero' which drew me so deeply into Skyrim and gave it that re-playability. MMO's rarely find commercial success and manage to survive long enough to live up to the effort put in it and don't give all that much in return to their creators. The Elder Scrolls I believe doesn't belong online, like they seem to be angling. Despite the fact that it still looks alright. But to abandon all future DLC for it seems like a bad move.
I would hate to see it go down the path Diablo did, I grew up on Diablo one and two but three, I just didn't find it at all interesting, even if I did from where I live (country Salt Ash) internet is just out of the question for something like that, my connection standards are of the bare minimum it would just be far too game breaking.
I really don't want to see this franchise go down that path, ever since Morrwind I fell in love with The Elder Scrolls, this is probably the only MMO I would want to find proper commercial success simply because I think Bethesda really does care about their fan base and few game companies do along with the fact that a large portion of the fan base aren't your COD fanatics who love breaking headsets and the like.
Just wanted to vent a bit, but all said. I wish Bethesda luck and I will definitely be looking out for this edition on the selves can't wait and worth every cent!

Or with Elder Scrolls Online coming, a DLC rich Skyrim has the risk of players sticking with Skyrim and less playing ESO. Lowering ESO online time and user base and thus less money earned from ESO.
So maybe they realized it and cut off all further Skyrim development and support. So players jump on the ESO train. Maybe there is not enough place for a single player TES and ESO.
On the other side (development), they need a lot of developers for ESO content and could have transfered all major artists to existing ESO teams, leaving no one to develop another Skyrim DLC.
Looks like a well calculated move to me.
The idea they would cancel DLC for Skyrim in favor of an MMO would show a complete lack of understanding of the MMO demographic. I've been playing MMO's for more than a decade now and a new DLC for Skyrim would have absolutely zero impact on whether or not I play TES Online. The basis for that is solely on the quality of TES Online and nothing else. So far the game looks pretty bad, and based on comments being turned off on the official youtube channel; they know it. it's quite comical that they have have dev question videos with no means to actually respond.
I used to play Everquest I and II until I eventually woke up to the fact that a) other people are mostly annoying and b) I'd rather be the hero of my game, rather than one of thousands of supposed heroes.
MMOs just remind me of Monty Python's "bicycle repair man" sketch: in a world of literal 'supermen' everyone with 'special gifts' is actually not special at all ...

I really wish some game developer could think not just with their wallets and have the guts to pour their efforts into an outstanding game for the PC and then worry about porting it to the consoles.
@Kyerea consoles don't have RAM at all. It's only 512/256 Mb of shared GDDR3 memory used for both system and graphics. How are you supposed to add some blended refracting hexadecagonal mead bottles there? They'd be frakked like toasters and it'd mean no Skyrim on consoles. Otherwise it means we have nontransparent mead bottles on PC. And surilie brothers wine bottle isn't even hexadecagonal.
@Thruen imagine how bad it could be when every conjuration spell in both DLCs for Skyrim lacks an 'ignore spell absorption' flag and it means it's a TON of bugs because there are lot of them spells. And I don't know why my conjured dremora disappears as soon I use a Whirlwind Cloak, maybe a mod conflict? But I've never met a single bug in Two Worlds II or Pirates of the Flying Fortress add-on, I guess owing a xbox has stripped you of all the luck in the world as you've definitely found some.
@EnigManic I don't think Diablo series is what it seems. It's a poor quality MMO, and if you wanted some decent MMORPG you could join them E.V.E. community. And if you want some monsters killed there's always Buttholefield 3. Anyway in both cases they ain't better than any Cevat Yerli's f2p talk because they're MMO schlock. Never played those, it's boring. Btw "If you like the game, buy it"
Imagine if Crytek made an RPG! Better yet, a Sci-Fi RPG! They would do right by PC gamers. Of course, all of Cevat Yerli's F2P talk does raise some concerns. . .
