@wolfmgs so dont waste your money on a $1000 pc. a good $600 setup will run anything out there at lower resolution like 900p with all effects on at great fps. will run anything out there at 1080p with most effects on at decent fps (higher than any console game's fps for sure).
@meeatworld had no problems with skyrim software. patches must've fixed them as i progressed, like they're supposed to. i can't say i ever got into the main story at all though, really didn't care about either "side" or the factions in this elder scrolls. the only thing that kept me playing for 180hrs was the gameplay and the simple quests offered by everyone everywhere in this huge expanse of open terrain and all the caves and buildings scattered throughout. with the awesome graphics (after HD update and a couple mods) this has become one of my favorite games. hurry the hell up with some DLC!
game don't take much. got my friend's phenom ii 955 with his radeon 4890 running stock speeds and blowing this game away. if you've played anything big in the last 4-5 years with decent frames you will play this the same way.
6870 been running everything new for almost 2 years now with no problem. @ minimum 1000p, with all effects always all the way up. why blow the extra $500+ for any "stronger" setup?
@DraconisRex, dont think anyone's paying $100 for bugers\boogers(however you spell them in your area) anywhere. even you weirdos who still pick and eat them.
@NX01E, 90% in favor because the people who don't expect them to change it don't bother voting. @Purechaos, Dragon Age 2 ring a bell? no sign of DA:Origins/Awakening character. still made plenty of money on the crap sequel.
