For Skyrim, functionally, no. You can’t use mods from one version on the other. You can’t use saves from one version on the other. Its a port, but that’s beside the point for what I’m trying to say. Oblivion and the Remaster are not the same game full stop. Nor is Diablo II and its remaster. I still play the original Diablo II. I can’t play this expansion because it wasn’t made for Diablo II. It was made for the Remaster. The two games share the same DNA but they are not cross-compatible. Diablo II did not get updated. The Remaster did.
I think we just have very different ideas of what makes a game a “completely different game”. It seems to you all remasters are completely different games, and I just wholeheartedly disagree.
That’s fine, but the point still stands that this only works on the remaster, not the original. The original did not get an expansion, which is how the title reads.
