With it you’ll gain access to a new Legendary difficulty level, as well as Legendary Skills – a system that removes the level cap by using what sounds like a CoD-style Prestige system.
“Skills of 100 can be made Legendary,” Bethesda explain on their blog. “This will reset the skill to 15, return its Perks and allow the skill to affect leveling again. This effectively removes the overall level cap.”
A screenshot of the new system hints at how it will work. Plus side: the character is now at a previously unreachable Level 106. Downside: they’ve completely forgotten how to do Smithing twice. Presumably that playthrough’s economy has nosedived in response to all the hastily crafted steel daggers that must be flooding the market.
