I bought Oldrim + DLCs in 2018 for $15. Then bought SSE in 2020 for $15. There was not much graphical improvement in SSE and the reason for SSE was stability? I moved all my mods over to SSE and it does seem more stable. Now I see the SAE release with CC content and I'll wait to see if the NPCs still have straw hair and other outdated graphics. I don't expect there will be any real improvements. SSE works just fine.

I still haven't deleted my modded special edition. All i seem to do is spend tens of hours modding it then... going back to eso when it comes time to playing.
I'm still playing eso as my daily game. Just single player questing. And the events, endeavours etc. Up to starting dragonhold now. Since i dont need to buy arx anymore, even though i promised myself i wouldn't get any more content for the game i bought blackwood for the companions... i want a tank for world bosses, but the best gear you can get without playing the game full mmo (eso is suffering nasty gold inflation atm) is blues. See how it goes once they're levelled up anyway.
Damn eso. I just accepted i love the silly game.
Also starfield is hinted / confirmed to be skyrim in space? Ie no space game killer? Sad face.

I just picked this up on PC for like $6. A lot has changed since I played this on PS4, and of course it looks a LOT better on my PC.
I forgot just how addicting this game can be. Like you, I'm just casually playing solo, taking my time doing the 1-50 leveling quests, enjoying the scenery and crafting and the stories. December was going to be the month I planned to perhaps start a Space Engineers server. But now I'm a bit distracted, LOL.
This is one game I haven't played but do like the look of. I'm not really into magic, spells and stuff like that. Not sure if there is much of that in the game, or if you can avoid it.. ?
Depends on in which sense it is not your cauldron of bat's nostril hairs...
If you do not want to your character to be a spellcaster, and don't want to get bogged down in systems involved: Just don't use any. There are no restricting classes in Elder Scrolls games, and all skills are improved by the per-skill expericence gained from simply using them (common impression is that most players tend to end up playing the role of: "stealth archer", no matter what they set out to do. ;9)
There is plenty of magic in the world, though, and NPCs will use it on you, and talk about it, all the time.
Magic comes in several varieties, which pretty much tend to make one another redundant, and even restoring health by eating food, is essentially a magic effect, functionally. One can learn spells, enchant items, brew potions, and so on, but magically enhanced loot and merchandise is abundant, so you don't need to, unless you want to tailor really overpowered stuff.
There are a scant few places where you need to cast a spell to progress, and those locations tend to have the appropriate spell book lying right there, where it is needed, waiting for you (...and which you consume pretty much like were it a ham sandwitch, to learn that spell).
A separate, Skyrim-specific, grouping of magic is unavoidable, since it is part of the main storyline, and inherent to the nature of the protagonist (you). This comes in the form of unlocking powers. Like above, you are only required use these at a few key moments, to get access to a few initially blocked-off areas, to pass their tutorial bit, and to bring the final boss within range. It is functionally little different from using a specific item to achieve a goal; Say a key in a lock.

I'm pretty sure I saw a mod that replaces the sound for reading a spellbook with munch crunch cronch

I am aware how late I am to reply to this, but...
If you ever thought that Starfield was going to be a game to "compete" with the likes of ED and SC, then you have not been paying attention to it from the start.
Need I remind you that people here genuinely thought that Mass Effect Andromeda was going to kill ED, back in 2017?
Just because it has a sci-fi and space-exploration setting, does not mean it is in any way comparable to ED.
You would do well to remember this.
