Update #2: The patch is now out on Xbox Live, too, which is nice. Confirmation comes by way of The Elder Scrolls Twitter account.
Subsequent tweets clarified that the patch will be released on PS3 later today.
Update: Skyrim patch 1.9 has been released in its final form on Steam. 'For console players out there, we're hoping to release 1.9 later this month,' wrote Bethesda on its blog.
Since the patch went into beta testing on Steam, there's been clarification (on Reddit) about how the new Legendary skills effectively do away with Skyrim's level cap (81).
If you have a skill at 100, you can opt to have it become Legendary by using the Book of Waking Dreams. This resets the skill to 15 and reimburses you all invested perk points in that tree. A little Imperial dragon symbol is displayed underneath the name of the skill tree.
You're now free to level that skill again to 100, and in doing so can gain another character level. With each new character level - level 82 and beyond - you gain a new perk point and ability point.
Theoretically you can rinse-repeat this process an indefinite amount of times, gaining as many new perk and ability points as you can bear to grind out.
Each time you opt for that skill to become Legendary, another Imperial dragon symbol is displayed. These symbols, I think, do nothing but serve as a memory marker for how many times you've Legendary-d a skill.
Skyrim patch 1.9 adds a new Legendary difficulty to make this worth your while.
Original story: There's a new Skyrim patch available in beta on PC that effectively does away with the game's level cap.
Until now, the highest level a character could reach was 81. But patch 1.9 adds a Legendary difficulty and the ability to make skills Legendary, and this changes everything.
I have a confirmed 55mb/s download speed and yet the game is downloading at 6 mb/s can anyone help me with this? We are aware that some players are unable to patch or update the launcher due to their automatic proxy detection. The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited Social Team. My patcher is now at 74% but is going extremely slow (ranging from 100~300mB/s but sometimes goes up to 600 then drops down again) When I checked SpeedTest, my download speed is 33mB/s. Is the huge difference between the SpeedTest download speed and patcher download speed normal, and is there anything I can do to increase the speed? The steam download just finished up today and now I have to wait even longer for the GAME to download. The patching using the ESO loader is horrifically slow. 1/10 to 1/2 the speed of the Steam preload. It has taken over 5 hours so far for the patch. Right now it is at 88%. The Elder Scrolls Online > English > Topic Details. So yes, you are bottlenecked on download speed by the host.:) They have insanely slow downloads. Considering they run MMO servers. I find this very surprising. They HAVE the servers and connection speeds, but it's still the slowest download speed on the internet. Gta san andreas patch download. My game is currently updating to the summerset isles patch and downloading the chapter but the download speed maxes out at 2MB/s and doesn't go. Jump to content. A Reddit community dedicated to The Elder Scrolls Online. Some are good and some are just junk. I was downloading the patch at full speed (25MB/s = 200Mb/s) on release day.
'Skills of 100 can be made Legendary,' the Bethesda blog announced. 'This will reset the skill to 15, return its Perks and allow the skill to affect levelling again. This effectively removes the overall level cap.'
I don't understand what the benefit of making a skill Legendary - only to lose all your skill and perks in that line - is, but then I am a bit simple.
It doesn't look like enough people have tried the new patch to offer their thoughts on the official forum yet either.
Do remember that this is a beta version of the patch. If you want to test it, open your Steam Library, right-click on Skyrim, select Properties then the Beta tab and then opt in.

If you already own The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and are thinking of trying Skyrim Special Edition, you may have questions about how the improved version of Bethesda's RPG will work in terms of mods, saved games, and most importantly, modded saved games.
Here's what we know, and it's not all good news. We'll update this post with any additional information we discover.
Skyrim and Skyrim Special Edition are two separate games
You probably know this one, but just in case: if you own Skyrim and its expansions, you'll get Skyrim Special Edition for free, and you don't need to worry about Skyrim SE overwriting or replacing your original copy of Skyrim.
They are two completely separate games. If you have saved games and installed mods for Skyrim, you will still be able to play them with your original copy of Skyrim after the Special Edition appears.

Existing unmodified saved games can be used with Skyrim SE
If you've got saved games from the original Skyrim, you can use them with Skyrim SE. According to an email from Bethesda, it's just a matter of copying and pasting the files:
'Existing save games from the original PC game will work in the PC version of Skyrim Special Edition. Simply copy your old saves from My Games/Skyrim to My Games/Skyrim Special Edition.'
So, you'll be able to pick up in the Special Edition right where you left off in the original. This is only for unmodded saved games, though, and here comes the bad news.
Modded saved games won't work at all with Skyrim SE
We've tested this a bit, and can confirm that saved games in which you used mods for the original Skyrim don't work with Skyrim SE.
Bethesda told us this in their email:
'Only use original saves that have never been used with mods. Do not use your original saved game if this error appears when you load it in Skyrim Special Edition: This save relies on content that is no longer present.'
Skyrim Nexus
Dave Talamas, Community Manager of Nexus Mods, had this to say:
'Though there is a remote chance that very particular save files which only depend on mods which have a SSE equivalent installed may work, this will not be relevant to the vast majority of mod users because their modded files will have one or more dependencies with a currently incompatible mod.
'Our advice for mod users is to expect to start fresh when it comes to playing SSE.'
Skyrim SE versions of SkyUI and Skyrim Script Extender are in the works
Skyrim Script Extender is a tool many mods rely on, as it expands both scripting capabilities and functionality for mods. Thing is, SKSE was created for the 32 bit Skyrim, and Skyrim Special Edition is 64 bit, meaning the current version of SKSE won't work with the Special Edition. There is now an alpha being tested for the SSE, however.
SkyUI, one of the best and most popular mods for Skyrim, and a mod that many other mods require for configuration, depends on SKSE to work. So, until there's a version of SKSE for the 64 bit version, there won't be a completely workable version of SkyUI for Skyrim SE (though there's an alpha version available for testing).
There are plenty of mods for Skyrim SE already
Since Skyrim and Skyrim SE are two different games, modders who post their Skyrim Mods on Nexus Mods need to essentially create duplicates of their work. Many have done this already—and Nexus Mods is making this process as easy as possible for them.
The Nexus Mods page for Skyrim SE is right here, so you can see what's currently available. Thankfully, prolific modder Arthmoor has a number of his mods ready to go, including an Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch, which like its predecessor, will fix a number of bugs that were present in the original Skyrim and have been carried over to the Special Edition.
Nexus Mod Manager now supports Skyrim SE
If, like me, you use Nexus Mod Manager, the Nexus Mods tool for managing your mods, it now supports Skyrim Special Edition.
You can download the new version of Nexus Mod Manager here.
