The special edition boasts various new graphical features on paper, but in practice you'll be hard pushed to notice many of them. A brand new, truly 2016 Skyrim this is not - but it might yet be. If anything, you might find that it's a step down from your modded original Skyrim with the Bethesda high-res texture pack, and a dark return to the infuriating official interface to boot. Play it today and you'll be lucky to feel there's been any meaningful change. Though consolefolk are revelling in a spike from fuzzy 720p to crisp-textured 1080, on PC The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is about as transformational as wiping the toilet seat (well, depending on who exactly used it before you did).
