Skyrim Legendary Edition and DLC for the PC? : V

» Mon May 06, 2013 2:12 am

So I just learned that a legendary edition of Skyrim is scheduled to come out this summer and I was wondering if the PC version will come with all the DLC included on disc? The reason I ask is that I read somewhere that the DLC will only be on disc for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Skyrim. Is this information accurate? Or have I been mislead? How has Bethesda handled DLC in regards to other GOTY style editions for PC games in the past? Have they included downloadable content on disc or just included a voucher to download it online?

I am asking this because I live in a rural area where high speed internet is unavailable and I cannot download dlc with my dial-up. So if the the PC version comes with a voucher to download the content I will be forced to buy the PS3 version instead, I would much rather have the PC version due to superior graphics, etc, but if it doesn't have the dlc on disc I will have to make due.

I know its probably a bit premature of me to ask, as information on the legendary edition just became available, but if you know anything about how the DLC will be handled for the PC version, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share any information.

All platforms have all DLCs on it.

As in the Legendary Edition will include all DLC on disc for all platforms including PC?

As was the case with Morrowind GotY, Oblivion GotY, Fallout 3 GotY, New Vegas Ultimate Ed.

Don't be fooled by the whole "Legendary" tag, it's just another final compilation released at a cheaper price.

PC will probably include the Hi-Res Texture Packs as well.

Or redeemable code yes.

Since PC Skyrim operates with Steam, you will most likely get only the disc to install Skyrim and then redeemable codes for the DLC.

This is just speculation. They could just as easily bundle the DLC together on the disc, the Oblivion GOTY had the DLC on disc.

They'll also likely release the Legendary ed. on Steam as a bundle like the New Vegas Ultimate Edition.

No, Fallout New Vegas was a Steam game as well and the disc included all of the DLCs for it. All that was required of Steam was to register the product, the actual content was installed from the DVD.

What about reading the description: http://www.bethblog.com/2013/04/25/legendary-release/

", this package includes the most up-to-date version of the original game (employing the 1.9 title update), as well as the game’s three add-ons: Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn."
