are there any patches that will change the original skyrim disc game?

The DLCs don't add any patches to the game themselves at all. The DLCs will change the disc game, but only in the form of dialogue options that were previously unavailable.

Yes, but how much it changes the game depends on whether you play on PC or console. All a patch does on a console is fix glitches and bugs and such with the game itself. On PC it does the same but in a way that changes the game in a few ways; for instance there is a patch that fixes the infamous dragon stalking glitch, where dragon skeletons follow you throughout the map, by erasing the dragon skeleton itself as soon as you fast travel away from it. Patches for console don't work this way. If you are on console the only way to really change the game is through DLCs and modded saves, not patches in other words. The most a patch for console will change is how merchants act and erase the ability to take advantage of various glitches. That's about it.

As for Arena, and Daggerfall, these use a DOS Admitter in order to play on Win 7 64bit. So I'm pretty sure they will not work with a controller. Morrowind will work on Win 7 64 if run as Adimn. but your controller will not work. I may be wrong, there maybe a fix/tweak but not that I've tried. I HAVE tried just to plug in and they did not even see a controller. As for Oblivion runs fine on Win 7 64, and the controller works for HALF of the game it WILL NOT WORK IN MENUS AT ALL. You can walk, look, attack, cast, and jump but no menus. Skyrim is OK has little problems if any, but after you play the others with a mouse/keyboard you really don't want to go back. If you get a decent mouse.. As for Arena, and Daggerfall, these use a DOS Admitter in order to play on Win 7 64bit. So I'm pretty sure they will not work with a controller.

Dear Margie, You have to uninstall old version of the game manually, then you will be able to update the game without any problems. Thank you!

Only Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim have Steam keys. Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind (inc. DLC) and Oblivion (inc. DLC) can be installed via CD/DVD without the need the need for Steam, Skyrim however requires Steam activation before you can play, even if you install via DVD.(It should be noted that Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim plus all DLC are on ONE Steam key.)

Probably. They're are all sorts of mods for these games. Before you buy it, check out filefront. Type the name of the game into a search engine and then filefront and it should come up. There you'll find a whole bunch of mods for the game. Also you don't have to be a member of the website or anything.

Yes. Not too long ago, during the steam winter sale, I bought Fallout: New Vegas. When I ran the game for the first time it auto-detected my system to see which settings to run on. It chose ultra-high(The highest graphics setting), so I would assume it is the same with Skyrim and any other high resolution game.

Skyrim, Legendary includes ALL of the add-ons. This is what I've waited for...debugged & complete.Just be careful about the vendor- the best price when I bought it was being sent from England to the USA & said it would require 6-8 weeks for shipping.Just watch that shipping time. I don't remember the name of the dealer. The savings wasn't much, anyway.

Some games don't have controller support, but it should say. Go into setting/options on Skyrim main menu and see if there is controller support, if not then it's a keyboard only game.

It should work if you run it in XP-compatibility mode. If that doesn't do the trick, it means that you need to download patches, probably just the one from Tages Protection (which did the DRM protection for the game). Failing that, you may also need to search for 'The Witcher Enhanced 1.5' patch. It's inconvenient but shouldn't take too long. Good luck.

No mine didn't and that makes playing a little hard. You have to wonder all over to find things. Check out the Morrowind help site The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind Quest FAQ by Mikael Romberg. It is a great help. Jim

I dont know. I haven't played either version. Before I got a chance to play the GOTY edition my 360 died.

No. Skyrim is filled with lots of books to help you catch up on past events.

No, you can play it without installing it. You can also install it at any point in the game. Its just extra missions and gun parts and such. It doesn't change anything too major

No. There have been no know patches. Unfortunately, it appears that this may not see a patch.

You need internet. There are updates Skyrim needs for the DLCs to be functional. This is what they can do. Get access to the internet with PS3, update Skyrim, download the DLCs, and they'll be set to play offline after that.
