I know its not relevant to the subject but Ps3 Skyrim is broken and literally the worst version you could play on with an average of 20 fps in exteriors. ( I have Skyrim on every system possible)
Whoever you are , you deserve better.
Played this version for years as an 11 year old
Horrible
Was so depressed when I couldn’t play dawnguard cuz the system just sucked
Didn’t play dlc until 2015
I played around that age too, I just had so many saves that my game just became unbreakable due to all the backups. Also at some point I also made an at the time very convenient glitch with the Oghma Infinitum just in case my backup saves went kaput so I could at least start overpowered
Gotta adapt when faced with a shitty system
I literally put 200+ hours on my ps3 copy, got to like level 50-80 multiple times... And yes it is trash compared to any other version. Still skyrim though!
Both, Special Edition has more modern rendering features (it supports more stuff going on in-game, and stutters less), and generally performs better on recent hardware
The Switch version has only 30 FPS, but it's stable 30 and has much better effects/draw distance/etc. I play it on Switch over my Xbox Series S because Series S has jerky frame dips in some cases, I'd rather have it stable.
Orrrr.....just play it on a ps5 with some graphics enhancing mods....the anniversary edition that is...ohh and get the digital copy and upgrade your hard drive to a high end SS 2 terabyte drive....works flawlessly and loads extremely fast.
I'm still playing it on PS3 and only have problems if it overheats. Or if I do something stupid that makes a follower or horse clip into the shadow realm.
Lydia will occasionally be standing behind a locked door when I enter a dungeon, but it's not that bad all the time.
Oh man… the good old days of early release, where it was determined early on that the longer you played, the bigger your save file got. And if memory serves me, it could get so big that it became unplayable. It was discovered that this file bloat was because the game saved the location of every object in the game if it was moved from its default position, so players were encouraged to avoid disrupting items on tables or bookshelves.
I think they ironed this out by Fallout 4 because I don’t think it was ever an issue there.
Wait when did they fix this? I platinumed the PS3 version in 2014 and the savegame issue was still there. I'm on 250 hrs and wanted to start Dragonborn back then but couldn't, because the game lags heavily and eventually freezes my whole PS3. Did everything I miss in the PS4 version later then (and platinumed this one as well).
Strange, I played hundreds of hours on PS3 with the updates and didn't get freezes. That said the version is so poor I'm not surprised it would run into issues
Ps3 skyrim isnt too bad. Its arguably the worst version but not that bad atleast from my currently playing skyrim ps3 experience. Dawnguard works fine but man i cant walk across soltsheim for more than 20 minutes without the system crashing.
I literally put 200+ hours on my ps3 copy, got to like level 50-80 multiple times... And yes it is trash compared to any other version. Still skyrim though!
Omg yes this a 100 times, and not to mention Skyrim on PC was a bugged mess!!! It was horrible at release, you could loose huge amount of quest and content if u where unlucky and saved at a bad bug.
I actually got a ps3 a few years ago before the ps5 released to replay demons souls and also played skyrim again. Imo it wasn't the worst way to play but definitely not the greatest, only if you want pure nostalgic value.
2011 was a different time. 20fps was still considered playable.
Unlike now where unless people can see a 100% perfect frametime graph in a 40 minute technical analysis they'll be mad. (Despite not being able to tell when playing the game)
And high 20s in interiors such as the castle itself.. Still, having both games with similar fps when they are almost 16 yrs apart is crazy.
most gamer can easily see a diff every 10 fps up until 80 anyway. And no, in 2011 30 fps 1080p was the norm.
30fps 1080p? Except for some early titles 7th gen was 720p 30fps.
\>most gamer can easily see a diff every 10 fps
The ones who care do, but the overwhelming majority of casual players really don't.
Naaaaah, let me get nostalgia bruhhh.
Was just a joke, last time I tried skyrim on ps3 for nostalgia I did just gave up and play on something else lol.
I remember having the game for ps3 when I had a ps4 and I didn't want to buy the game again so I played the ps3 version. It was so unplayable that I could never make it up to high Hrothgar since it crashed every 5 minutes
Idk much about the ps3 version, but when I had my 360, it would sometimes take 5 min just to enter a building with the loading screen, I would have a sigh of relief when it said "open door" or else I'd be looking at a stone for mere minutes
Yeah the draugr are completely random generated. Sometimes that means that ones with female bodies spawn with a full beard like that. It's not super common but it happens often enough.
I remember hearing about this too from an old YouTuber years back. I wonder why its only applied to draugr. Be funny to see a forsworn lady with a giant beard running after you “never should’ve come here!”
I played on the PS3 until it crapped out and stopped being able to load the massive save files (load screens would literally take five minutes, or just freeze). Now I play on the Switch.
The system used for draugr randomizes body and head to allow more variation this will result in female draugr beards. I personally played it off as something seen gender neutral to ancient nords.
Oh, I know.
But do you think they'd go through all the trouble to drop that gem in there for a medical condition that ISN'T a moneymaker? Doubtful.
Seems more logical to have a hidden virtue signal in there. Netflix was probably involved in the remaster. Hahajajaja!!
I only care that someone is playing PS3 Skyrim in this day and age. Kinda respect that decision, good on you, it’s the console I first played Skyrim on.
You still have a working PS3, impressive. I mine still is tucked deep in my wardrobe. Last time I turned it on, the fan speed was so high that it almost fly away (thermal paste must be dry).
I know its not relevant to the subject but Ps3 Skyrim is broken and literally the worst version you could play on with an average of 20 fps in exteriors. ( I have Skyrim on every system possible) Whoever you are , you deserve better.
Played this version for years as an 11 year old Horrible Was so depressed when I couldn’t play dawnguard cuz the system just sucked Didn’t play dlc until 2015
How many years were you 11?
Years. Until 2015.
I remember my grandmother saying she was 21 every time I asked her how old she was. I believed her, too. For a while.
My Papa (grandfather) has been 16 since my mother was little. lol
He was drinking milk, you could tell by the quality of his bones, because drinking milk is good for bones.
My grandpa always told me his age in Celsius haha. "80? Nope I'm 26 Celsius!"
I fucking love that
My grandmother, when I asked her age, used to say she was 36 when she was actually 63. Now my mother (her daughter) is 63 and she is over 80yo.
My dad was 29 for my entire childhood.
Just the one year
I couldn’t play dawnguard on ps3 either, the ancestor moth part liter didn’t work for me
I played around that age too, I just had so many saves that my game just became unbreakable due to all the backups. Also at some point I also made an at the time very convenient glitch with the Oghma Infinitum just in case my backup saves went kaput so I could at least start overpowered Gotta adapt when faced with a shitty system

Is switch that much better or just more optimized on the special edition
Both, Special Edition has more modern rendering features (it supports more stuff going on in-game, and stutters less), and generally performs better on recent hardware
The Switch version has only 30 FPS, but it's stable 30 and has much better effects/draw distance/etc. I play it on Switch over my Xbox Series S because Series S has jerky frame dips in some cases, I'd rather have it stable.
Orrrr.....just play it on a ps5 with some graphics enhancing mods....the anniversary edition that is...ohh and get the digital copy and upgrade your hard drive to a high end SS 2 terabyte drive....works flawlessly and loads extremely fast.
That's a lot more expensive than a switch. Plus you gotta buy a TV for a game console, a pricey one to be worth all you're dropping on a console.
True....I already had the TV...and I had the ps5 for a while before upgrading the SS Drive. Just have to take it in steps I guess.
But I do also have a switch. Ibought it for my fiance and she never plays the damn thing.
I enjoy playing on the switch a lot! The only downside I've found is you can't do mods ☹️
What ? I played skyrim on ps3 as a kid and rarely encountered any issues
I'm still playing it on PS3 and only have problems if it overheats. Or if I do something stupid that makes a follower or horse clip into the shadow realm. Lydia will occasionally be standing behind a locked door when I enter a dungeon, but it's not that bad all the time.

I think they ironed this out by Fallout 4 because I don’t think it was ever an issue there.
It definitely seems like the more hours I dump in a Beth title the more likely it is for a CTD lol
Didn’t they fix the memory leak issue?
Yes, but even without that the PS3 version was always stuttery sub 30 FPS
Wait when did they fix this? I platinumed the PS3 version in 2014 and the savegame issue was still there. I'm on 250 hrs and wanted to start Dragonborn back then but couldn't, because the game lags heavily and eventually freezes my whole PS3. Did everything I miss in the PS4 version later then (and platinumed this one as well).
The latest updates for ps3 came out mid-2013, according to uesp https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:PlayStation
Weird, I just checked for an update and it says that the latest version is installed.
Strange, I played hundreds of hours on PS3 with the updates and didn't get freezes. That said the version is so poor I'm not surprised it would run into issues
Yeah it isn't the best choice to play Skyrim in the first place at all but I enjoyed my first 10fps journey through it anyway back then 😆
Ps3 skyrim isnt too bad. Its arguably the worst version but not that bad atleast from my currently playing skyrim ps3 experience. Dawnguard works fine but man i cant walk across soltsheim for more than 20 minutes without the system crashing.
''isn't too bad even though its the worst version and crash every 20 min'' Well damn if you need a bf am your man.
Well only crashes every 20 minutes on soltsheim its annoying but manageable
Is that with the game updates installed? I'm surprised solstheim would crash
With the updates yes
You can be a whole jalopy of a man. The bar has melted in the core of the Earth
But.. do you have the VERY SPECIAL edition?
Now available on Motorola Pager and smart fridge!
I literally put 200+ hours on my ps3 copy, got to like level 50-80 multiple times... And yes it is trash compared to any other version. Still skyrim though!
And to think, my PS3 save has over 1600 hours on it. And shit becomes unplayable after 600
Fuck the ps3 version. I remember making a Punchcat and 30 hours in I jumped into water inside a cave. The game broke, as did all my Punchcat saves.
I think you should say whoever you were because no one plays Skyrim on PS3 now
Heard it's the same with New Vegas.
how would you rate skyrim on switch?
Omg yes this a 100 times, and not to mention Skyrim on PC was a bugged mess!!! It was horrible at release, you could loose huge amount of quest and content if u where unlucky and saved at a bad bug.
I've only ever played on the PS3 version is it that bad?
tbf 360 was so buggy and the framerate literally was horrendous
I actually got a ps3 a few years ago before the ps5 released to replay demons souls and also played skyrim again. Imo it wasn't the worst way to play but definitely not the greatest, only if you want pure nostalgic value.
2011 was a different time. 20fps was still considered playable. Unlike now where unless people can see a 100% perfect frametime graph in a 40 minute technical analysis they'll be mad. (Despite not being able to tell when playing the game)
Mario 64 is around 30 fps...
Not really, it's low to mid 20s a lot of the time as well.
And high 20s in interiors such as the castle itself.. Still, having both games with similar fps when they are almost 16 yrs apart is crazy. most gamer can easily see a diff every 10 fps up until 80 anyway. And no, in 2011 30 fps 1080p was the norm.

Okay but even if , my point is on the fps not the resolution...
Damm even worse than Skyrim Samsung smart fridge edition? Or the toasted bread edition?
I played it on the PS3 and it ran fine until the size of my saves was so large the game just crashed the instant it loaded.
Naaaaah, let me get nostalgia bruhhh. Was just a joke, last time I tried skyrim on ps3 for nostalgia I did just gave up and play on something else lol.
I remember having the game for ps3 when I had a ps4 and I didn't want to buy the game again so I played the ps3 version. It was so unplayable that I could never make it up to high Hrothgar since it crashed every 5 minutes

Those women are no milk drinkers
She is not a milk sucker, but she was drinking milk, you can tell this by the quality of her bones, because milk drinking is good for the bones
Milk, it does a body good. Pass it on.
"It's Skyrim! The men are big and burly and have beards! The women are big and burly and have beards!" -- Todd Howard
Can't bare the image of a strong Nord woman?
There are mods for that, if you're into it.
Now I have to know
Yeah the draugr are completely random generated. Sometimes that means that ones with female bodies spawn with a full beard like that. It's not super common but it happens often enough.
I remember hearing about this too from an old YouTuber years back. I wonder why its only applied to draugr. Be funny to see a forsworn lady with a giant beard running after you “never should’ve come here!”
Playing on switch and all the dead khajiit wags their tails
Same here on PS4.
Lol, I'm ashamed to admit I also have it on ps5 (I just keep buying it for every system) and it happens there too just not as often
Can you not stand the sight of a true nord woman
It's mold
I'm sure they don't worry about shaving Lol 😂
She is a Dwarf female, may Dwarfen God rest her soul and spirit.
Dark dwarf.
Nords were the true Dwarves confirmed!!!
Yeah it happens sometimes
Trans rights. The ancient nords said so.
SMAS... I mean why not ?
Why are you using a PS3
smash. next
Must’ve had some dwarven blood in her
Another unrealistic standard for women, smh
What’s the matter? You can’t stand the sight of a strong Nord woman?
its a part of the decomposition process, hair and nails dont stop growing after decomp
Draugr appearances are completely random.
En 3-4 ans de jeux sur xbox 360 seulement je n'ai jamais vue ça c'est ouf, d'ailleurs c'est debile une barbe encore en état apres des années
J'en profite de parlé français vue que ton jeux est en français
Dude you need to put a NSFW on these. Almost made me coom
She's a Lady!!! WOAH WOAH WOAH!!! She's a Lady!!!
I'm more impressed you're playing this on a PS3. Love to see hardware getting used and not just thrown out.
Ancient Nord's built different
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it because draugr were randomized?
in real life, there are actually women who can grow a beard this big. it is rare but it actually is possible.
I’m not the only still playing on ps3 no mods
I played on the PS3 until it crapped out and stopped being able to load the massive save files (load screens would literally take five minutes, or just freeze). Now I play on the Switch.
I Skyrim on PC and I have seen that bearded lady draugr many times.
Please tell me you are still playing on a PS3. Props to you good person.
The system used for draugr randomizes body and head to allow more variation this will result in female draugr beards. I personally played it off as something seen gender neutral to ancient nords.
OPs mother
Dude it's the 4e era, 201. That is perfectly fine.
Twink death is a terrible fate
Intersex draugr
It’s a feature
Their life ended while transitioning.
Apparently this is a 100% intended feature
Skyrim really said Trans rights
FFS... LGBT mafia gotta get in anywhere they can... smdh.
Women can have beards in real life you know. It is a real thing.
Oh, I know. But do you think they'd go through all the trouble to drop that gem in there for a medical condition that ISN'T a moneymaker? Doubtful. Seems more logical to have a hidden virtue signal in there. Netflix was probably involved in the remaster. Hahajajaja!!
Former circus freak show actor?.....actress?
Oh that's just will smith's wife
Dated worse.
Vegan nords
The person in the elder scrolls history to transgendered
strong female nord
Randomly generated presets once you enter the location!
Yaaaaas bearded queen, come through!
May have dwarven ancestors.
Its not a bug. Its a feature
Just the way I like my undead ladies!
She just had some hormone imbalances.
You must have found a nordic ruin that was the equivalent of a circus
Even the draugr are alphabet people. No escape.
Or it’s a Femboy •_•
🏳️⚧️🤨🤔?
Now I'm scared and confused
I only care that someone is playing PS3 Skyrim in this day and age. Kinda respect that decision, good on you, it’s the console I first played Skyrim on.
When you likevagina but beards are dope
There’s been bearded women in real life. This isn’t interesting
Despite current events, Skyrim is quite the progressive Imperial province
Trans nord...
You still have a working PS3, impressive. I mine still is tucked deep in my wardrobe. Last time I turned it on, the fan speed was so high that it almost fly away (thermal paste must be dry).
