I downloaded the game files, mounted the .iso files and added the game to setup.exe to my steam library and installed the game under the mountpoint. When i click play in steam i just get back to the installer. Running the SkyrimSe.exe in steam(located in the CODEX directory) doesnt work. I use Arch Linux.

I know this is the piracy community, but why not just buy it? It's like $15 lol

If you're planning on modding the game (which isn't an easy task on Linux, I've been using Arch for a decade and it was a nightmare getting it to work through MO2), be aware that some mods (usually only SKSE mods) flat out won't work with a cracked version of the game, the authors wrote checks in the code I'm guessing to look for specific strings or versions. Then there's the issue of multiple exe versions and some mods only work with specific versions.

Or OP could retrieve the GOG installer from the high seas which technically wouldn't have any DRM to crack.

Your comment runs antithetical to this server, but I agree. Skyrim has been out for 12 years and it's surprising that OP doesn't already have like 3 copies of it. Sometimes, piracy really is just a service problem.

Suggesting that people actually buy something in here is apparently equivalent to kicking a puppy lol
