Just seen is Flibby. Is it meant to be good? Looks interesting!

Yeah, it's apparently very good. Good community, good modding support and excellent development. I've watched a bunch of videos on it and I really like the look of it, but I missed out on getting it for £4.99 from Desura, and I can't see it being that price again for ages (was over a year ago now) so £6.69 is good enough :)

I can recommend this series if you're interested in watching a "Let's play" first.
 
Final check before I get it.... Will buying Skyrim Legendary edition on top of the Vanilla game mess up my mods and/or is there anything I should do to stand the best chance of not messing anything up? Or can I just get it, let it download the content and then add and extra mods/patches that are required?
 
I didn't like morrowind or oblivion, so it's against my better judgement that I'm going to buy skyrim. The stuff in the legendary pack doesn't look essential to my cynical eye. Any counter opinions?

I'd imagine it will break a lot of your mods. Definitely do a back of the folder in steamapps first. Most, if not all, mods you have will have a patch for the newest versions so it might be just a case of getting a new version from Nexus Mods and overwriting it after the Legendary Edition is installed.

Remember, back-up!

If you didn't like Oblivion or Morrowind, then I think you're going to struggle to like Skyrim. It's just an evolution of the series / genre. But if you are going to get it anyway the Legendary Edition is easily worth the extra money, it's got all the expansions in it.

As much as I liked Skyrim if you didn't like the previous games I doubt you will like it.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll give it a miss then. Never was a fan of auto levelling monsters and having to mod a game to what it should have been on release.

Only two and a half quid though! Damn the trap that is the Steam sales!

Roger that... although I'm guessing once I go ahead and let Steam "upgrade" the game I won't have a method to roll back to the backup anyway? Or can I do something like copy the backed up files back over the upgraded game and let it overwrite anything it finds... Then I can activate the DLC one at a time from the mod manager and fix any issues... Hmm
 
Can you get a worthwhile experience from Skyrim if you only put in around 15 hours or so? I only really get in about 10 hours of gaming each month, and don't like to be bogged down in the same game for too long.
 
Just got Skyrim: LE and Surgeon Sim. Not bad, and that makes almost everything I had on my list.

Also, why the heck has Green Team taken such a surge today? There's something very odd about the team scores...

Ah, I just looked now. You used to be able to launch Skyrim without needing Steam as TESV.exe was independent. I would probably take a back-up anyway of both the game install folder in steamapps and all the save files, then I'd delete everything and do a fresh install, then just reactive the mods I used one by one from NMM and then try to load up the save game. I've used the same save file from vanilla and it's still okay, so it's possible.
