So when is this going to get leaked? I already have Skyrim paid on steam and I know people have access to the PC version, although you can't play. Xbox360 version was leaked earlier this week. PC can't be leaked due to encryption. you cannot pirate games because they have DRM? Uhh nope. They all get cracked. Then all you need to do is flash your console so it can read burnt DVDs, burn the ISO on a DVD, and play. That's for Xbox at least. I'm getting it on computer. I will be buying it, but yeah, it'll be cracked too. It's more easily accessible for computer since you just download a cracked game. There's no need to do something like flashing your Xbox which is a bit complex (and MS is cracking down on that, too).

I was wondering how modding would work with Steam.
I love Valve and Bethesda but I want to enjoy mods as well.
Will I have to pirate the game to get mods?
You can mod games on steam like any other game.

It did not look so good, graphic wise. I tried Deus Ex and Rage recently on my Xbox and the graphics for those two games were much much better than Skyrim. Also, playing Witcher 2 and Rift with ultra settings on my pc definitely did not help, as it just made Skyrim look like crap. Once again, this is the xbox version (which is less than 4 gigs).
It played exactly like Oblivion, looked exactly like Oblivion, and I could swear I was playing Oblivion. So, if you liked Oblivion, I imagine you'll love Skyrim. I realize I did not play very long... so, I'd take my review with a grain of salt. I'd highly recommend trying a demo or something before investing your hard earned dollars in this game.

tldr; if you liked Oblivion, you'll like Skyrim. If you're expecting a new and amazing game like no other, I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Hey there I was wondering if anyone could answer me a quick question, as I am completely computer illiterate. My computer is pretty good sans the graphics card, a NVIDIA Geforce 310. I was wondering if anybody knows if I'll be able to play this game on PC?

Crazy question. Since you were playing a pirated version of the game. Is it possible you were playing Oblivion? Guess I'm just trying to find hope that maybe the game that I think I might want to play isn't gonna be like Oblivion(which I hated).

Too much trolling in this thread. Good bye.

He seems to be the only one I've seen who has that opinion though...not that he's not entitled to his own opinion but he seems to be in the really small minority here.

No, it was definitely Skyrim. Of course.. that's all just my opinion. It's possible it would be better on the PC. If they have a demo or something for the PC, I'm definitely going to give it a shot.

Why would you think skyrim would look better than deus ex or rage? Neither have the open-world size skyrim has.

Why wouldn't it? Skyrim does not even occupy a full game disk, whereas Rage was 3 disks or so. It seems as though they did not even care to try.

What I don't understand is how you can base an entire 100-200+ hour experience on 20 minutes of mostly intro/tutorial. You saw NOTHING of the actual game and yet you claim that it's "horribad".......
How about people don't listen to this fool and his pessimism, this game WILL BE LIKE OBLIVION, but thats a "well no shit" kinda question. It will also be a totally different game with and without mods, as well as being MUCH more like morrowind.
The thing I get from most Oblivion haters is that the level scaling RUINED the game entirely, and the NPCs were crap. Both of which were fixed with mods, and neither of which are in Skyrim.
Please sir, tell me why this game is so bad other that "it's not PRETTY ENOUGH RAWRRRRR"
For reals......I just don't understand how that's even a part of the gameplay, and also MANY people here on this forum absolutely love SC BW graphics, so the overall "amazing beautiful world" really doesn't even matter to me, hell I'll be playing on the lowest graphics prolly and I give zero shits.
Also I really have trouble understanding how the hell you're even comparing the graphics on a 360 game to fully cranked up PC quality stuff.
Do you just want to shit all over this game? Are you just a troll? Im honestly confused by you sir.

I compared it to PC games, yes.. but I also compared it to xbox games. It looks like crap compared to other xbox games that actually seemed to have effort put into it. Rage was 20 gigs or so, Skyrim is less than 4 gigs. Rage was quite a good looking game.. Skyrim, nah. Obviously, form your own opinions. I'm not the king of this thread declaring that you people follow my will and not buy the game. I'm just saying don't get your hopes up too high.

So... my card is a radeon 5670 and I have a 6 core processor and 4gb ram. I could run The Witcher 2 on medium/high, should I expect about the same from Skyrim? My monitor only goes up to 1280x1024, so obv settings are going to be higher than somebody playing in real 1080p.
So I hate to add fuel to the retard fire with console vs pc, but do you guys think it would have been financial suicide for Bethesda to develop the game just for pc with a better engine and then waited to port it to new consoles when they come out? I mean, I think the game looks pretty damn good still, but let's not ignore the fact that consoles have limitations that modern pcs don't have.

lol you could have at least tried out the PC version on highest graphics, when comparing to your PC games at highest settings... of course it looks similar to Oblivion on the Xbox, it's the sequel on the same exact platform. Most people's PCs have changed since that game came out, where the Xbox has not changed at all as far as Hardware is concerned.
My hopes were never that high for graphics, it's all about the gameplay and immersion.. if you came in here and said that the game was 20 minutes long and the size of the map was a single dungeon, then you can complain.... Same as Oblivion etc, besides if you modded Oblivion/Morrowind at all you would know there are tons of graphical improvements out there in the form of mods..
Also Rage had tons of issues with its graphics, at least on certain video cards/systems, and had very few settings to fix these.
Also these guys are really good at compressing their game so I'm not surprised at the size.

Can't believe you're using file size to compare games graphics. Rage was 20 gb but still had pop-in issues and was horribly compressed, Skyrim looks alright and has better compression. Getting hung up over file size is stupid.

Skyrim will look pretty bad by today's standards, you guys should not mistake yourselves into thinking something else. From what I've seen from it so far (watched I guess about 3 or 4 hours of streaming footage of it) it looks like Oblivion with only really minor improvements in graphics (a few more polygons here, more shiny there), which shouldn't be a surprise, since it's running on the same engine, is developed for the same target systems (PS3 and 360), and was largely developed by the same core people who worked on Oblivion.
That is of course only a statement about the graphics, which (imo) is the least important thing in a game (gameplay>sound>aesthetics>graphics).
The aesthetics of the game actually look pretty nice. I like the darker color toning a lot more, although this might be a side effect of the bad stream quality. Either way, the skin of Orcs doesn't have a puke-y color anymore, which is a plus  Oblivion just shined too much, probably because blooming was overused. Even in dark dungeons, the brown walls would shine like chocolate topping

Really really liking the skill trees. 1h + shield with conjuration/illusion.
Assassin char, when I get around to making one, is going to have some scary tools available between bow and sneak.

Playing any kind of sneaky mage in morrowind or oblivion was just so difficult to pull off well, I look forward to actually having a pretty viable marks/magic/dagger with sneaking path in Skyrim.
Also, Pickpocket perk tree. FUCK. YES. Along with a alchemy perk tree!!!!! Assassin character here I come, so much poison.
