Overview

This one's a real bar-raiser: PCGamingWiki confirms 21:9 and 32:9 are now officially supported by Bethesda, with Hor+ FOV scaling by default — no fix required just to render correctly. What's left is the UI, which is largely unchanged since 2011: SkyUI, the inventory, and the magic/map menus stretch across the extra width instead of reflowing, so a UI-specific mod is still worth installing. Flawless Widescreen does not support this game (it only covers the original, non-SE Skyrim).

Working with fix
Resolution itself just works now, no fix needed. Still grab a widescreen UI mod or the inventory looks rough.

Once the UI mod is in, it's one of the best ultrawide RPGs out there.
