    Exactly; this just needed an emulator like goldberg

    Bethesda games usually don’t go for heavy DRM stuff (beyond the basic steam DRM), because it impairs modding (especially injection / nonofficial modding, stuff like SKSE for skyrim)

      I have to applaud Bethesda for this decision, it is something that is very nice for the end user.

        It really is a big move, since it likely cost them millions in early sales.

        I probably would have bought it already if I couldn’t find a crack, but now I can pirate and wait for a nice sale.

        I’m sure I’m not the only one.

          Tbh what you’re doing is exactly what I did too with Skyrim. Downloaded a crack played for probably 1k hours and then bought it just to play 1k more

        And is developed by ID software, not Bethesda Game Studios. Bethesda the publisher has different tactics when it comes to games not developed by BGS.
