    Considering Skyrim Special Edition is handled like a different version of Skyrim, I would completely expect this version of Fallout 4 to break mods.

    On the flip side, Skyrim Anniversary edition is just special edition with creation club content included, so there’s some hope mods won’t break.

    Doesn't literally every minor update to Skyrim break most of the mods?

    Yeah. Its one of those things that increasingly annoy me.

    People (rightfully) shit on Bethesda for never fixing known bugs. They ALSO shit on Bethesda because any patch potentially breaks mods that use unofficial tools.

    I understand that the majority of people online aren't developers (or are hobbyist/student at best) but... that is development. I actively dread when a major MR is pulled in because that means my merge conflicts are going to be hell. MOST of them are just eyeballing the changed file and saying "that looks right" but there will inevitably be a changed interface that involves very extensive tweaking before I can even think about running my test suite again to find the rest.

    But for major forks? There is a reason that so many of them end up using a somewhat dangerously outdated base. Okay, part of that is the nature of a fork and WHY it forked. But it is also because pulling upsteram changes is a REALLY big undertaking.

    imagine if by dumb luck, since the re-releases are so violently frequent, both games converge into a state where the mods are compatible with each other

    Or the games just straight up bleed into one another

    So from what I'm seeing, it's just repackaging all the DLC and CC stuff into one bundle. Awful. A lot of the CC mods are not even that good. I don't see how they think this is a good value over the bundle that comes with all the DLC already.

    Legit what changed? It looks exactly the same. FO4's issues weren't because it looked bad. I mean, it seems like I might as well just pick up my existing copy of FO4 and play that again.

    This special release includes the base game and the six official add-ons: Automatron, Far Harbor, Nuka-World, and the Workshop expansions. Whether you’re building settlements, battling robots, or exploring the mysteries of the Commonwealth, every adventure is here.

    But that’s not all! The Anniversary Edition also bundles over 150 pieces of Creation Club content, including fan favorites and previously unreleased items designed to enhance your journey. From new weapons and different Dogmeat breeds like a husky or a Dalmatian, to gameplay tweaks and quest expansions, there’s something for every Vault Dweller.

    Some creation club stuff, I guess.

    I’m sure they’ll fix all the bugs with this extra special re release….

    Is this coming to Switch? That's really the only reason I'd have to actually buy this.

    According to the Nintendo community here, it is.

    I just warned them of how the next-gen patch broke the game on consoles and Bethesda refused to fix it even after modders showed them how. Did they ever fix it? It was so bad that some stores (like GOG) refused to carry the next-gen patch, or at least they made it optional. I still have Fallout 4 SPECIAL pre-next-gen. And I can play it on Mac. ;) (I also own it on Xbox, but it's unplayable there.)

    Nice. I'll get a full day of this before KCD2's last DLC drops.

    I won't give them a dime until it's for Elder Scrolls 6 or Fallout 5.

    Why would anyone give Bethesda more money for the same game, but with all the mods broken?

    Fuck sake. They announced ES VI in 2018! Instead of that we're getting Fallout 4 Turbo Remix 7 SE.

    instead of

    Yup, it took the entire team that was working on TESVI stopping what they were doing to get this out the door.

    Can you believe they had the audacity to update Fallout Shelter 3 days ago?!

    /s

    Crazy how instead of capitalizing on the TV show‘s success they keep breaking their games. I wonder if Bethesda will even see the end of this decade under Microsoft. Not that I particularly care anymore.

    I'd be more concerned about society lasting that long. I know fallout 5 won't launch because well be living it by then. Maybe not necessarily as radioactive, but there's no way society is functioning 15 years from now when the logical timeframe that 5 would be done. I'm confident we'll see TES VI.

    Curious to see if this ends up being an update or a separate install like Skyrim’s anniversary.

    If it does wind up being an update, GOG has it on sale for $10 right now - you can install a specific version and it’ll make Fallout London installation breezy.

    Considering the accuracy of leaks out of the studio refently, it's going to be exactly like the AE version of Skyrim, according to the rumors I've been hearing about this from before this announcement. This thing already got pushed back at least twice before this official announcement was even made.

    There's not really a lot to update in fallout 4 unless they drastically rewrite parts of it like the flawed crafting system. Weird they did this instead of giving 3 the oblivion remastered treatment

    instead of

    Most of the work for Oblivion Remastered was the UE5 graphical overhaul handled by Virtuos, a completely separate studio.

    Even then, companies have separate teams for separate projects, I sincerely doubt that we’re getting this “instead of” a FO3 remaster; TESVI, etc

    I suppose the anniversary is for all the bugs that Bethesda refuses to patch

    It will break mods and that is probably partially the point. If it's like the Skyrim Anniversary Edition, it'll throw in some of their shitty non voice acted quests with items that are too interesting to fully ignore.
