Unsurprisingly, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition is no different. A fully priced remaster that includes all of the original release's downloadable content, it's undeniably the best way.

Those looking to take advantage of Bethesda’s free Skyrim Special Edition offer on PC still have a window of opportunity to do so, but it’s running out. If you’ve fallen victim to that demon called “procrastination,” you might be pleased to know that the free Skyrim Special Edition promotion isn’t over yet, despite the fact that the game launched around the world today.
If you want to get a free copy of the game, Bethesda requires that you own the original Skyrim and all of its DLC before or on October 28. So, once October 28 – today, by the way – is in the books, the promotion will be over and the chance to grab a free copy of Skyrim Special Edition will have passed.
Taking advantage of this deal is really only worth it if you already own some amount of Skyrim content, but not all of it. If you’ve never purchased Skyrim, your best bet is just to buy the Special Edition. If, however, you own the base Skyrim game and one or two pieces of DLC, picking up the remaining DLC to get Skyrim Special Edition at no extra cost is definitely a winning proposition.
If you find yourself in that particular boat, then you’re in luck. Bethesda is actually offering a Skyrim + DLC bundle at a discount that brings it to the same price as the Special Edition. The bundle gets less expensive based on what you already own, so if you have, say, Skyrim and Dawnguard, then you’ll be able to get Dragonborn and Hearthfire at a discount, unlocking the Special Edition you when complete your Skyrim collection.
Bethesda notes in a post to Steam Community that purchasing the remaining content today may prevent the Special Edition from unlocking for up to 36 hours. That wait time seems like a small price to pay for a free copy of the Special Edition, though, especially if you’re a big Skyrim fan.

Skyrim Special Edition Free Steam
Skyrim Legendary Edition marks the end of the Skyrim saga with one package that includes the original game plus all its available DLC.
As one of the highest rated games of all time, the Legendary Edition is a great package for those who missed out to experience Skyrim in its entirety – but it comes at a price.
In the table below, we have compared the prices of Skyrim standard, its DLC as a separate purchase, and the Skyrim Legendary Edition (SLE) bundle. Where indicated, prices are based on current recommended retail price (RRP) at the time of writing. Other prices are based on average retail list prices, or digital store list prices. In the case of the DLC on Xbox LIVE, which uses MS points, we had to break out the MyGaming abacus and do some math to come to an average price point.

Bethesda have indicated that their Skyrim team has moved on to new endeavours, suggesting that this is the last we’ll see of official Skyrim content. However, PC gamers will undoubtedly continue to enjoy community created content for years to come. So what do we make of the various DLCs on offer for the game?
Hearthfire: 70%
The PC modding community created a handful of “build your own home” mods for Skyrim, so Bethesda decided to give all Skyrim fans an official polished take on this concept and at a reasonable price.
For console gamers this is a neat addition to make you feel at home in Skyrim. For PC players this is a good option if you don’t want to mess around with mods. For the tinkerers, a similar result can be achieved using mods.

Dawnguard: 65%
Dawnguard was the first major Skyrim DLC, but it carried a hefty price tag.

Despite adding a number of new items and side quests, the main quest was noticeably unpolished and arguably unfinished in some areas.
Dragonborn: 85%
Dragonborn was certainly more worthy of its association with Morrowind and Skyrim; it provided a decent amount of new content and game dynamics.
For hardcore Skyrim addicts it’s an essential addition, but for casual players there is already more than enough content in the vanilla title.

Conclusion
Skyrim Legendary Edition would work great as a birthday present – but if you don’t own Skyrim by now, chances are you’re not too interested anyway.
If you fall in the category of gamer who just wasn’t able to grab the game until now, then this is obviously the ultimate Skyrim package, and the overall game is fantastic as ever (I’ve sunk over 500 hours into Skyrim so far).

If you just want a taste of the game everyone was talking about over a year ago, I’d suggest you just pick up a copy of vanilla Skyrim or wait for the Legendary Edition to go on special a few months from now.
