One big update was Scarcity being released for SE:

I really enjoy the Morrowloot + Scarcity combo. Or else the mid to late game equipment power level gets a little ridiculous.
It depends on if you want to be an epic hero of Skyrim or just some normal adventurer trying to make their way in the world. :-)
