At that point Legacy of the Dragonborn LE will be officially retired and no further updates will be done. It would be much more efficient to focus on one platform, and fix as we need to and still allow us time to focus on continuing to develop the next chapter.Īnd finally, V20 of Legacy of the Dragonborn LE will be the final official version of the mod on the LE system. Supporting two new releases on two different platforms at the same time will tax us too much, requiring some frequent and minor to moderate patching over the course of the first few months of their release. Next, the Special Edition CK has an amazing 3rd party patch available by Nuukem which fixes most of its horrible issues which Bethesda refuses to address, providing more stability and faster interface, proper LIP syncing, render and editor window selection fixes, memory leak fixes, and much more, making it a stable and more reliable tool than the original CK was makes it more viable for large projects. Act 1 would have been a nice final hurrah for Legacy LE, but it would also tease the player with continuation of content that they couldn’t enjoy when Act 2 and later were released only for SE.

LE users would have to deal with this bitter reality one way or the other, so I decided that we may as well rip the band aid off entirely now rather than slowly pulling it off after Act 1. This is a reality that we determined to be true when we announced earlier this year that Odyssey Act 1 would be the only episode that LE would receive, and that all future episodes would be SE exclusive.

Secondly, the capabilities of Skyrim LE are being quickly taxed to their limits with Odyssey’s development. This occurred when I handed Legacy SE off to Picky to maintain, and he made several cleanups and revamps which while maintaining the overall feeling and goal of Legacy, did fundamentally change how much of it worked and made it implausible to back port any of these updates to LE which I was not really servicing much since Odyssey’s core development began last year and the gap between Legacy LE and Legacy SE grew even wider. Not only does it take too much work, but even if I hand off updating one version to someone else, it will result in the versions being different products on some levels. The reasoning for this decision is complex and multi layered and comes with it a certain level of regret, so I’ll walk through it so people hopefully fully understand my choice.įirstly I despise servicing multiple versions of the same mod. I’ll cut right to the chase rather than building up to it we have decided that Odyssey of the Dragonborn will now be developed in Skyrim Special Edition and will only be available for SSE rather than releasing Act 1 on both LE and SSE as previously announced.
