Skyrim: "Special" Edition

I know, I got it for free but I still have the right to complain about it, so please, mind your manners darlings!
And it's directed more to those who have to buy the Special Edition.

Pros: 64-bit client, few cool things added like volumetric god-rays and ddof. You can mod vanilla Skyrim to look better than this and get much better performance. Oh yeah, Alt+Tab now works, after 5 years of not working.
(Basically vanilla Skyrim with Flora Overhaul and some lighting mods)

Cons: When I go to caves, it's like a swimming simulator when they fill up with magical water that doesn't affect anyone else but me. Same bugs as vanilla Skyrim had + a bunch of new ones. They expect the modders to fix their game for them by making the Unofficial Patch. Anti-aliasing is very bad on this one, should call this Skyrim: Blur Edition. No 21:9 monitor support. Game is still broken if going over 60 FPS, horses start acting like aliens, spuzzing around and stretching like some reptilians. And the carts of doom... oh dear, the carts of doom. Many textures still look like they've been copy-pasted from vanilla Skyrim, even though they are supposed to be higher res than the textures you got from the High-Res Texture pack for vanilla Skyrim.

If you didn't own the Legendary Edition of Skyrim, I would strongly recommend against buying this one. You'll be much better of with the vanilla game and mods.

10/10 Bethesda, very, very good job on this one.
Add Bethesda and huge amount of lazyness, what do you come up with? Skyrim: Very "Special" Edition with added blur and bugs!

Best.
