Hi!
New on GOG here.
I would very much like to own this game and play it again as I have many dear memories with it from my younger days, playing it via the cd disk.

Can someone tell me if I can play this game without the Bethesda launcher or having to signup anywhere?
Not sure if this is implied in the DRM free version stuff here or if u can still have games where we need to do loops b4 we can play? Its Bethesda so why Im asking ;D

I am wary because in steams version they hid the old original version from the store, and only sell their new and 'improved' version now, which come with broken stuff and unwanted other stuff, for those that arent too keen on 'data collection' etc or is simply paranoid like me.
So Im hoping this version on GOG is as close to the old version as posible, without getting those 'improved' additions?
It says special edition tho, so Im guessing this isnt the old classic version here on GOG either? ;(

I saw u can revert to old game update or something on its store page here, not sure if thats all there is to it?
And whether that even works for us on Linux using Heroic/Lutris?

Ty!

There is no bethesda launcher or other things to signup. On GOG you can even launch the game without gog galaxy.
Sadly the original version is not on GOG and probably never will so only the special/anniversary edition is here.
If you are worried about data collection you can block any outgoing connection from the game in your firewall but as far as I know there is no such thing for skyrim. On the GOG version you can rollback to version 1.6.659.0.8 which is the most stable but many mods are not compatible. The newer version on GOG seems to have a memory leak problem so I don't know when/if that will get fixed.
As for Linux I have no idea so someone that has can let you know about it.
Which game? This is a TES forum!

From your post I guess it might be Oblivion. The poster of the first reply seems to think it's Skyrim.

Ty both for reply!
I didnt see it was a forum for more of them combined.
I just clicked forum on Skyrim's store page, thats the game I mean yes:)

Im sad to see its not posible to get the original version here on GOG either then ;(
I was so hoping, since its GOG.
The memory leak etc is what I mean also, their 'improved' versions come with flaws so I would love to get the original version only.
Hope it comes to GOG one day without all the 'bonus features' ;D
