Good luck getting it to run no matter where you buy it! You'll need patches and a prayer circle to play it.

For anyone wondering if it's that bad, I played it when I got it on Steam and it ran just fine. Then patched it no problem through the either the Workshop or the Nexus Mods manager like three months later

And if you're really worried, you can look up a steam guide on how to get it running as smooth as possible on whatever OS you're running.

IIRC Bethesda modernized their classic games to run well on modern Windows when they got bought by Microsoft?

The latest versions through GOG and (I think) Steam run pretty well, there’s no more GFWL or other stuff that broke a long time ago.
