I don't understand how we're just about a month from release and our platform is still left in the dark.

If I want the collectors edition I'm supposed to just put blind faith into the game. You're expecting us to put down a lot of money for a game we know next to nothing about. It's bad enough we don't get to wait for reviews. But considering how much of a joke the videogame journalism industry has been lately I guess it's not as big of a deal as it used to be.

What's more important to me are the following:

1. Where's the official system requirements? If I need to upgrade I'd like it done before the game comes out so it's good and ready.

2. Why haven't we seen any PC screenshots that show off the differences between the console versions and our platform?
(Please don't give me that PR stunt where Pete Hines or someone said they mixed in PC screenshots with the console ones. It's simply not true otherwise there really is no difference between the versions.)

3. How come there hasn't been any word about our control schemes with the new "dual wield" and "favorites" gameplay mechanics?

4. Where's our unique menu and UI? Or are we going to be stuck with the console versions format yet again? Keep in mind we're playing on higher resolutions and we have the luxury of the mouse. Scrolling through menus and lists isn't what we should be stuck doing.
(Mods can only do so much to change how the UI looks. The mod tools are for the creation of content. The actual UI and menus are hardcoded into the game. You can tweak them a little bit through certain files but that's about it. You won't be able to say... put Morrowind's menu into Skyrim or Oblivion. So stop giving me "Mods" as an answer. It didn't work for Oblivion, it didn't work for Fallout 3, it's not going to work for Skyrim.)

Ok.

this ^

thats dumb.

You guys are gonna get the superior version of the game in the end anyways, sooooooo.... I don't care what you said.

1. you should just have a good computer for PC gaming, requirements should be disregarded
2. we have, we just dont know which one it is, and becuase M$ payed them to only show xbox, and because they want the better graphics to be a surprise for the PC players and dont want the console players expecting it and be dissapointed
3. I believe they said that right click is for right hand and left click is for left hand
4. we are going to have the console but PC players have mods so why does it really matter

you took the words right out of my mouth ... well said
excelent points!
i agree with this completely

Supposedly it will be revealed in 2 weeks. The game is going to be a console port so its most likely the same as Fallout 3 or New Vegas.


I don't know? I would also would like to know the answer to this question.


I Don't know? I would also like to know.


Expect the same UI as consoles.

The system requirements will be released when the PC compatability testing is done. However, Bethesda is not interested in allowing people to compare the game across platforms before release, so I guess you won't be getting it until after release anyway.

Don't worry The Dark Brotherhood in real life will leave you a note involving you having a special deal and getting the CE edition 50% off with the message "WE KNOW" because you posted this.

Hint:
They dont need to win PC players...
They know that the idea of mods sells the game alone on the long run xD

1. You'll get those when the game is actually nearly ready.
2. Because the PC isn't a lead platform, there's no PS3 screens either. (Btw there are actually a few PC screens, you just have to look for them as Bethesda doesn't openly say which are PC screens.)
3. Not even clear on what you mean.
4. Console UI isn't terrible, just a little harder to navigate.

PC requirements/recommended specs will be released sooner or later.

M$ has kept them from showing videos of anything else other than XB360. though more than once it has been said that the screenshots are mixed. and if you are worried about having to upgrade you probably should anyways. calm down.

If the xbox 360 can play it, then you're 6 year old graphics card can play it

Yeah, I agree. It's dumb that an entire platform gets left in the dark like this to the point where people have to make topics like these.



Yet you posted anyway? Either way it wasn't meant for you so I don't really see the point of your post.



1. Sorry that doesn't cut it. I want to know if the game is optimized properly for this platform. Or if it's another lazy port like Gothic 4 was. There's a reason companies release system requirements.
2. Now I'm starting to believe you're just eating up whatever the PR's silk tongue spits out. If we don't know which one it is then that means there's no differences between the platforms. Which is bad. If he was lying to make the console gamers feel better about their version then that's also an insult to the other half of the games fanbase.
3. What about the shortcuts? Can they be customized?
4. Mods can only do so much to change how the UI looks. The mod tools are for the creation of content. The actual UI and menus are hardcoded into the game. You can tweak them a little bit through certain files but that's about it. You won't be able to say... put Morrowind's menu into Skyrim or Oblivion.

1. They're testing compatibility at the moment and will be releasing the system requirements in October.

2. How do you know you haven't seen any PC Screenshots? Grab the latest issue of PC Gamer. That'll fix it.

3. Left mouse button for left hand, right mouse button for right hand, rebind at your leisure.

4. Mods.

I think this is the last one of these posts I'm going to waste my time responding to. Just to point out to you guys that Bethesda isn't going to hire you as a PR guy or intern just for damage controlling for them. You can stop defending their bad choices now.

lol just dont buy it if your not happy... and im 100% positive you will you cant resist :hubbahubba:

Hey OP,

How about you read into it some? Instead of letting us do your work for you.
You're wrong on pretty much all accounts, people give you reasons/arguements and you dismiss them without giving it any actual thought.

It's very likely the game isn't 100% optimized for PCs. I've heard stuff about no 64 bit executable and using 2 cores max. But I'm not entirely sure about the reliability of my sources.
PC screens have been released, if you're smart enough, you can figure out which are PC screens.
Bethesda has already said shortcuts and everything else can be customized for PCs.

I don't understand how people can't do their research a month from release, there have been pc screenshots released already but they still fell like their left in the dark.

Couldnt agree with you more. I despise the fact that the game was made for the fricken xbox THEN ported over to the BETTER platforms. A$$ backwards to me.

Try not to get so worked up. The PC version will be awesome. Sure it may have some things you don't like, but is that any reason to choose the console version? And as far as your PC being up to par, just compare requirements with other upcoming or newly released titles. Bethesda is not going to release a PC version with uber high spec requirements.

I like how people say they have released PC screen shots but nothing said officially one way or the other. So, just opinions and NO FACTS.

You should watch Pete's twitter feed more often, mr. negative, it's been CONFIRMED. THAT MEANS YES FACTS.
