      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.

      They don’t even replace the DLL file for you! After you run the RUNE installer, you have to copy the emulator yourself

        You can just click the checkbox for “Copy crack to install directory” to get the installer to do everything for you.

        I’m not sure why that isn’t the default.
