Um, I'm sorry but it seems like you're trying to tell me what and how I should feel about things. This is wrong. I played oblivion on console when it came out, I think it was even my first 360 game. I played that shit for well over 100 hours and I loved it. How can you possibly tell me I'm wrong? Mods make it a better game, without a doubt. But I have a hard time understanding where this console/nomods HATE comes from........ Hell, I played Fallout 3 and new-vegas on console without mods too. I had a fucking blast. So please people, try not to throw out your opinions as facts, and remember to just love the games. That's all. | ||

Whilst Oblivion was a good game compared to other titles, it fell well short of its potential, and was far inferior to Morrowind. I guess there is also the feeling that console hardware limitations prevent developers from making the most of modern PC technology. Not saying any of the above can be proven as facts, just that they are pretty common (and valid) opinions. Fallout 3 was an improvement over Oblivion so there are signs we're moving back in the right direction. Skyrim will be good for what it is on both platforms I'm sure. | ||

It's not just a dumbing down of the game play, or graphics, but even has a huge impact on the game as a whole including the interface. Many people's complaints with Oblivion include an awkward-as-fuck inventory and menu system that was designed from the ground up for consoles. So if you played it on a console and didn't see any problem, that's because many features were designed specifically for consoles. But if you had to use those menus on a pc, you might agree that it felt not quite right, like something was missing. That's where a lot of basic mods come in; making basic changes to the menu system to adapt the game to the PC. In many ways, modders had to complete the 'port' to pc from console. Other mods that deal with things like level scaling and content are great too and make it basically a completely different game, but the core of what I think mods bring to TES games on PC is absolutely necessary in order to not feel like you're playing a shitty port of a console game. | ||

I got Morrowind without having watched any trailer and I remember when I first walked up to vivec and it started appearing out of the fog of the sucky viewing distance, and it just kept on getting bigger and bigger, I was in awe like never before while playing video games. | ||

I completely agree. I almost want to wait a few months for Skyrim until modders have made a usable PC interface for the game. Every video I've seen of the game's menu system has made me cringe. | ||

It's not really just inventory space that I'm talking about. It's a realistic amount of items. Even with a small amount of inventory space, you could still carry say, either 1 huge sword OR 30 potions. I guess I'm the only one who it breaks the immersion for.. and yet fast travel and people freezing during dialogue etc doesnt really for me, but does for others :p Oh well. | ||

It's a matter of technical specifications. I use a year old laptop and my mobile card is better than the 360 or ps3. Obviously it's going to look wwaayyyy better on an optimal PC than a console. | ||

But you see all the crafting and such (cept alchemy I think) and some decent combat. After I get through all of it I think I'll be done obsessing over any and all leaked info though. | ||

Dude, The fact is he took a statement that had nothing to do with the graphical performance, and made it so it did. Its so annoying when its been like that for the last 3~ pages ¬¬ | ||
