Major Skyrim Update


Major Skyrim Update


Steam Skyrim players scored a pretty awesome update to Skyrim today (with console versions coming later this month).  For one, a new Legendary difficulty setting has been added, and two (this is the BIG one) skills can now become Legendary.

What does this mean specifically?  Skills that have been maxed out at level 100 can be designated as Legendary.  This resets the skill level to 15, and allows increases in the skill to once again count towards your character level.  So really, this also significantly increases the overall character level cap.  This means the longevity of the overall Skyrim experience has been bolstered, as well.

The IGN article where I obtained this information also mentions that, when a skill becomes Legendary, the Perks are “returned”.  What does this mean?  It wouldn’t make sense for a character to “forget” Perks, so to speak.  Perhaps additional Perks, or higher maximum levels for existing Perks, become available?  I’m really excited to see how all this works in practice.

Any Steam users have any commentary on this update yet?  Let me know!
