User blog comment:Jimeee/Skyrim 1.9 beta update adds Legendary difficulty and raises level cap (Updated Apr 8th)/@comment-166.137.156.42-20130403194343/@comment-67.48.126.61-20130403195808

if you haven't noticed, every patch bethesda's made for skyrim has also added at least one new feature to the game: new kill animations, horseback fighting, and so on. i guess ending the level cap issue once and for all and adding a new difficulty was the best they could come up with this time.
