skyrim legendary edition or standard edition?

Legendary. It's much more fun, much more quests, lands, clothing, armors and so on and on. It makes the game better :)

Legendary if you want to be a cool guy.

Legendary IF YOUR SURE THAT YOU LIKE THE GAME. I'm one of the few people who didn't like Skyrim, and i'm happy I didn't get legendary edition. But most people like the game so I would say take your chances with legendary.

Skyrim

Legendary Edition, I spent 23€ on Skyrim LE last year, no regrets. I have 230h on it, still tons of stuff left to do, I just have to re-install and update all mods, to continue playing it.

Legendary is the new GOTY, if you want all the DLC, get the Legendary version. Otherwise you'll pay more in the end.

if you buy the base game and then decide for dlc it will be alot more expensive then getting legendary in the first place.

The basic skyrim has a lot of content, if you do every main quest and secundary you need to waste around 40-80h. To those add lot of hours for exploration, blacksmithing, enchanting, doing radiant quests,etc and you can see how easely it is to reach 100h.
Up until now i only have played 2 of the 3 DLC. Dawnguard is pretty cool since it gives the game a questline for vampires that last around 10h. Hearthfire is okayish it gives more options for you to Role-play as a family man and gives use to many materials that without this DLC serve little purpose (with this DLC you can make yourself a mansion). I have not played dragonborn but this DLC seems to be focused for "high" level chars which could be very interesting.
My opinion is that you should go for the legendary edition. The game has a lot of mods so even if you don't buy the DLC you can always expand the game with mods.

Legendary. First I bought the vanilla for ~3 keys, then got the Hearthfire DLC from my friend and then bought Legendary Edition for 9 keys. I can say that the game deserves my money (I bought it when it wasn't on sale). So go, buy it!

Legendary, Dovahkiin, of course! And here >>>

Legendary. It enhances the gameplay, many mods are actually set to that version, The price difference, when bought on sale, is minimal, you get to go back to Morrowind/expand the world with Dragonborn expansion.

I'd recommend vanilla <i>only</i> if you plan to spend very little time on the game, just to experience in one or two afternoons what all the fuss is about, but don't want to explore everything and if you're (very) short on cash.

All in all, Legendary it's a complete package for not so much money. Don't make same mistake as I have and go for it.

Legendary is the thing. The dlcs are good enough and worth playing. Also if you buy the game separately and want the dlcs, you'll have a bad time waiting for the dlcs to go on sale.
