I never bought a copy for a console before today, and have been on a bit of a PS3 game collecting kick. Three dollars was worth the invesment for sure, but when I just opened the box at my house I found something way better.

They must have accidentally put the Legendary edition in the box!

I actually noticed the map right away cause of the weight of the case - nothing too crazy, but still really cool to find with a used copy. You can tell the map never left the case really though, neither did the original receipt.

From a preorder in 2011 for the full price of 59.99.

skyrim on PC is better...

On Steam sale it was on for less than that recently.

Skyrim has gone on sale on steam for 5 bucks heaps of times. Normally the edition with all the dlc has gone on sale for like 7 bucks.

If you can afford a pc, I bought the legendary edition for $15 on steam 3 years ago and got the special edition for free when it came out...

PS3? The Elder Scrolls and Fallout are better for PC.

Ps3=No mods, poor graphics, long loading times, crashing, no console (ingame). Sry, but tesv is one of the best things ever, but on PC only

I remember being in the 9th grade when skyrim came out. I pre-ordered it the year prior and when it was here I fainted of excitement. Really

Gamestop doesn't care about used versions in the sense of collector's discs vs normal. A disc is a disc for them. Source - I worked there.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's that it comes with the three DLCs that makes it different. I mean it's actually valued higher at gamestop than original version.

Ah, valid. I completely forgot they released that version, was thinking CE v regular edition. That means someone mislabeled. Shrinkage oops!

I remember returning mine when it was still $60 (it was full price for a long fucking time) and this guy in line behind me was going to 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

buy a copy, so instead of him paying $60 and me getting like $30 I sold it to him for $40. Great deal for both of us 2/2

Lol I played it on an SSD. Loaded so fast I could never read the lore or tips. Good/bad times.

I learned that turning off a lot of the auto save features can speed those up.

That's an awesome tip thank you.

I upvoted you because you're completely right. The loading screens last for over a full minute.

38 sec on avg for me. The reason I stopped playing :/

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Turn off all the auto save features. Manually remember to save old school. Game runs smooth as hell maybe 10 sec load screens.

At most. Shorter when entering homes and small mapped areas.

And less loading bugs too. Forgot about that.

Nah the map came with standard editions of the PS3 version, nothing new there, unless they did it with my original copy somehow.

I've been doing the same thing. PS3 has some insane good classics I never played (Madden/CoD noob gamer then) and they are all this cheap.

Try Dragon's Dogma Darkness Arisen, one of the best Game mechanics that I enjoyed, for me its even better than Skyrim and DAI in terms of GP

The only thing I dislike about DD is how much health BBI 2nd run enemies have. Dragons ok, exploit crystal. Fat Zombos? Fucking meattanks.

I had a fun build where that didn't matter as much, warrior with max buffs when low on health. Minotaur execute did 4 dmg if i was in red.

Cool find with the map but every copy came with that...not legendary edition

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Sad to inform, but that's like the worst version, PS3 Skyrim. The more you play, the more the save becomes unstable. Good luck.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Exactly what I was thinking as well. Most RPGS just ran terrible on the ps3 and had a bad habit of corrupting saves or crashing.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

There was something about it being due to the PS3 restricting RAM between graphics/system, compared to the 360 which had no such restriction

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yeah I believe so.

You know, when the file gets corrupted I'll just have to talk to my friends and family again, no biggie. Thanks for the heads up though.

Save game bloat issue is in all Bethesda games. It's even worse with mods.

I was gonna joke about Why Skyrim? That was the game that made me lose faith in Bethesda, tbh.

Alright, so far level ten pure mage. Still trying to get my hands on some good enchantments, but collecting souls and daggers is fun anyway.

My one tip: when crafting, it's not about the number of items but the total value crafted.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

So find items with the highest value to mats used ratio.
