No, I don't play Bethesda games with limited modding.

Also I already have the best Skyrim-version and got the Special-Edition-upgrade for free on Steam.

I've never played or wanted to play it. However, two things may have swayed me: playable female and third person camera.

If this is true and I can make a sexy avatar, count me in.

Skyrim is an excellent game but it is also an old game which was released for the PC, PS3 and XBox360 in late 2011.

For the Switch, it appears you will be paying top price when even the re-release with all DLC  for the PS4 and XBox1 will be so much cheaper. In Australia, the basic game (no release date yet) for the Switch is $99.95 AUD at EB Games ($76.60 USD).

If you are willing to look around you can easily find Skyrim with all DLC for the PS4 and XBox1 at less than $35 AUD either by digital download (close to 30GB) or on Bluray disk (takes about 30 minutes to install) which can be new or second hand which is cheaper still.

Very interesting reasons people are giving for their decisions and a pattern is developing.

Pros for buying Skyrim for Switch are:

#1 Portability.

#2 Supporting third party on a Nintendo system.

#3 Newer version has less bugs and is more stable.

#4 Really like the game.



Cons for buying Skyrim for Switch are:

#1 Better version is available on other systems.

#2 No mod support on Switch.

#3 Too expensive compared to other versions.

#4 Really hate the game.

Looking at the poll it appears that Skyrim for Switch will sell through to about 30% of the Switch's install base in the first year, with another 20% possibly getting the game if nothing else grabs their attention. So it won't be a huge seller, but should do alright. Do you think Bethesda will be satisfied with these numbers?



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

Yes you can play as a female in Skyrim, and it does have a third person camera (which is bad). Also making a "sexy avatar" is quite the challenge in the Skyrim Character Creator, nothing looks quite right.

NO BUY.

 

Count me out.

maybe, leaning more towards no. I'd buy Fallout 4 for sure though.

Well, with the right mods you can make very sexy avatars...
