Forget the IT geek stuff. You’re a gamer. Just play the thing from the start and enjoy it. Stop trying to shortcut stuff and being proud of it like it’s a good thing. You’re doing yourself out of valuable gameplay. You are not being efficient in the workplace like it’s your job.

The best part about Skyrim was the actual progress from zero to hero. Loading a save would bypass all that great gameplay. If the game is worth the effort to play, then play it. If not, save yourself some money and don’t buy it.

My 650hr save got corrupted anyway and would not progress the DLC stories.

I don’t mind spending another hundreds of hours playing it again though 🙂

Have you actually tried it (moving a save from xbox Skyrim to PC Skyrim)? As long as you follow the very simple instructions, it actually works great. And all saves start vanilla before being modded…. The issue arises when you do it in reverse, or transfer a save with mods to one completely different mods. My point is yeah, some people have issues, but that usually comes down to an operator error as opposed to something inherently wrong with the process.

Putting it simply, no matter what Bethesda may try to implement such a feature, it would be inherently broken to the point of uselessness, sort of like transferring a PC save from a vanilla Skyrim to a modded Skyrim. Look up why that is not recommended. You should not do that even with older and newer versions of vanilla Skyrim let alone across console generations to an entirely new build!
