I hope the game won't need a supercomputer to run? : V - Skyrim

Bad news if your spending 900-1500 on a computer you built....

Depends. PC gaming enthusiast like me like tons of AA, AF All the effects maxed across triple displays. Doesnt mean its not worth it. I wouldnt dare say thats the definitive PC experience though. You can get a great PC for $600 that will give you all the strengths of the platform, mods, servers, ui, steam, list goes on. PC gaming works for so many demographics I love it!

Bethesda is terrible for optimizing for the PC. Off the top of my head, Oblivion is actually the worst recent title I can actually think of in this regard.

I have to disagree. I can play Oblivion on low - medium settingss on my acer netbook and it has a crappy integrated graphics card and 1.3ghz atom processor.

Even if it was poorly optimized like you said, the reason really lies within Gamebryo's ability to only handle one-core. We're dealing with a whole new engine, yes?
