Picky like me then :foodndrink: , oh well I either get the game on PC and get a better experience overall or I....... what's the term...... "Cut off my nose to spite my face".
Oh well lets keep on topic and not turn this into a debate about DRM. I am really excited about seeing the new hand crafted dungeons and to see how varied they really are.
The advantages of PC far outweigh the irritation of Steam. It's very stable and reliable now, and you can pretty much disable everything you don't like about it. If you have it log in automatically on system launch and turn off as much as possible.. and you have a Skyrim shortcut (ohgod can you imagine it :bowdown: *skyrim icon*) on your desktop, it's really not that offensive. It's not taxing on your resources either, unless you have some dinosaur barely able to fulfill minimum specs.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you on this (though I don't mind Steam one bit personally, I hate that we
have to use it). But I think you'd be making a mistake to avoid the clearly superior PC experience (haters gonna hate) just out of spite for Steam.
