I understand that the game is still a long way off and I'm sure there's no definite answer, but I would like to know what u guys think... Do you think steam would be mandatory to play this game and should it / should not be?
Personally, I love steam. It keeps my games up to date, means I can chat to friends whilst playing and best of all, if my CD gets scratched or I lose it, I don't need to worry cos I can play without the CD and can re-download it free of charge (my morrowind CD got scratched and I had to buy a new one).
Needless to say, if the game doesn't require steam activation but will be available on it, I would still buy it collector's edition. To me, having the game on CD with the box, manual and all the goodies that come with the collectors edition is more worth it ^___^
