Bethesda is introducing a Legendary difficulty into the game to make dragon battles and all enemy encounters a little more oomph. Players that have logged several 100 hours in the game can use the Legendary difficulty to add a little more challenge to the proceedings.
To that point, the new update also includes a Legendary reset for level 100 skills. Think of this feature like Call of Duty’s Prestige system, whereby players can reset their skills back to level 15.
Moreover, the feature allows players to continue earning the associated experience as each skill’s level increases. In essence, the new feature eliminates the level cap for skills. So, while the number might say 15 or 20 or whatever, it will actually be 100+.
Fear not, though, the update fixes over 100 “problems” with the game, many of which are related to Skyrim’s hundreds of missions. The update also tweaks some of the missions in Skyrim’s various DLC expansions, among them Dawnguard and Dragonborn. Check out the full list of fixes below:
The update is now available on Steam, and players can download it simply by opting into beta testing for Skyrim. To do so, head to the Steam library, select properties, and check the opt-in box in the beta tab.
As far as consoles are concerned, players can expect this update to hit some time before the end of March. Yes, that even includes the PS3. While Bethesda has made a mess of supporting Skyrim on Sony’s console they have improved in recent months. Last month, all three major DLC releases for Skyrim were made available to PS3 players.
What do you think of the new update for Skyrim? Will the Legendary skill or difficulty entice you to return?
