Skyrim Tailored for Each System Separately

No, because that would be a bit excessive. What they should have done is designed the game for the top, then scaled back. It's a lot easier to reduce than it is to add.


I agree, what I suggested was a bit too excessive. But the game SHOULD have, like you said, been developed for the top end machines, then scaled back for consoles.

But it still bugs me that things, specifically dialogue topics, are limited due to the space on the 360's discs (IE: more space giving more room for sound files). I want to have NPC's like, in Morrowind, who you could talk about a numerous amount of topics with, rather than just a couple things like Rumors and what not, where they are all voiced by the same couple of people.

I imagine a mandatory install would fix this (say all the sound files on a separate disc that you install onto your 360's HDD). But apparently M$ has some rule that games for the 360 can't have a mandatory installation, because of the people with no/extremely small HDD's.

That's another thing. I have plenty of PS3 games that demand a mandatory install of several gbs, so even if developers went over the Blu-Ray limit of 50 gbs by some chance, extra could be installed onto a PS3.

I'm just glad you aren't the one making the game.

What he said

EDIT: Reason? It gives consoles (including PC) a reason to bash one another because they had more or whatever. Its already bad enough to have console gamers bash one another I wouldn't want the PC crowd to come in and go like "Come at me bro I have double of what you have".
