Wel... I played Skyrim 1 year ago, on PC, the GOTY edition, patched... And a NPC decided it was cool to go through walls, my horse thought flying is a horses' thing, and a dragon decided to not let me go through a hallway because it got stucked. In 3 hours of playtime. Never touched the game after that clusterfuck of beginning XD.

I played the game for over 500 hours, on PC and PS4, and never got any game breaking bugs. Some minor glitches here and there on the PC version, a while ago. But nothing major.

I guess I had bad luck, then? Or some instalation problem, I dunno. But all those glitches broke any possible immersion in the game. Still, I always give Bethesda a chance, but I always find their games booooring as hell, so I could live without properly trying Skyrim. I tried it again with Fallout 4. I had a weird sound glitch, voices sounded low-quality on my PS4. No bugs apart from that. But I also found the game... again, boring. I don't intend to buy Skyrim on Switch, that's for sure, but it's nice to have the choice for all the people who enjoy Bethesda games.

Probably because Nintendo sent their dev kits late.

Or because Nintendo told them that the game has to launch in a finished state. This is Bethesda, after all.

Another win

It looks like the 360 version with some tweaks. I think the big question is if they will include all DLC.

Probably it's own "special" version.....can't be the SE because I doubt the Switch can handle mods

 

if you're talking about specs, a pc with less specs than the switch can handle mods.

wtf does handle mods even mean lol. My pentium 2 back in the 90s handled mods on games lol.

It's almost certainly the new version downgraded for Switch. It wouldn't make sense to port the old version since the new one is supposedly much better and downgrading it shouldn't take too much of an effort.

I honestly have no idea why people keep suggesting it has to be one or the other. It's not like tweaking a few things is going to require much effort, it's porting the whole thing that's the big deal. Compared to that, tweaking a few settings is nothing.

The Special Edition and Original have different versions of the engines with substantial differences at a fundamental level.  It would be rather odd for them to go back and build 3rd version of the games engine just for the Switch.  So it will be one or the other tweaked for the system.

Of course it's going to be one or the other in a tweaked form, that's what I basically just said. It wouldn't make sense for them to do a fully custom port. What I meant is that people seem to be thinking it's going to be one or the other, without any tweaks. I suppose I could have expressed myself a bit better though.

If you mean the video, no, no it does not look like the original version.  It looks like the Special Edition with tweaks.  And don't try and argue this, I've stared at every permutation of that game long enough to know the difference.

I've played about 60 hours of TW3, and I haven't found a single glitch or bug. I got bored of it because of repetitive gameplay mechanics though XD. Tbh, the only open world games I've enjoyed recently were Xenoblade and GTAV. The rest of them were... meh.

Oh man, got one where the horse was stuck in the house, don't even know how it got there, and another one with books through people's heads, it's quiet interesting.
