Skyrim is a very buggy game, but it's understandable since it's huge. Okay, what a boring statement.

Today I've switched; no more Xbox 360, ever. In fact, I gave it to my little brother (I'm not implying anything here). Farewell, my dear!

So, let's get on what I think about this version:

Mouse & Keyboard: wow, this is when you recognise how much you are used to having used a console controller so much. The controls are stiff and some of them are binded in a way that only create more confusion than anything else. For example, I changed Sprint to Shift and Walk to Alt. It may be only me, but I've been playing Half-Life 2 since 2005 and the Sprint command has always be binded to Shift so yeah.

Inventory: now I understand all the complains; the layout is so OBVIOUSLY thought for consoles that it just svck badly for PC. It's clanky, stiff, and slow. I used to be very swift in moving withing the menu on the 360, really swift. Now, I feel like anything I click would mess up something. Anyway, not a huge big deal anyway, I might download that famous mod that changes the UI, forgot the name.

Graphics: fantastic; even vanilla looks great. Still haven't download the official High Texture DLC, but simply because I'm not really sure how much worthy it is in comparison to user made texture mods which seem to enhance the textures way better then the DLC.

Skyrim is in no way a demanding game: I was kind of scared when the Launcher detected my rig and thought about setting the res on Medium. I was like, 'seriously??'. Now, my PC is in no way a monster, but I've upgraded my GPU recently to a GeForce 650 (not ti) along with some years old 3GB of RAM, and some years old Dual Core 2 Duo. Again, not anything impressive. So, I set everything on Ultra, despite the Launcher suggesting Medium, and the game runs perfectly smoothly!

My first bug/s: as I arrived in Riverwood, I entered the trading shop, done my stuff, exited, and found Stump dead... lol??? I reloaded, and it was back alive. As I saw it dead, I thought about all the posts talking about this specific bug, where random NPCs just lay down dead for no reason whatsoever, and thought how I have NEVER encountered this bug on the Xbox, which is a lesser OS in terms of rig. After that, I entered Alvor's house, and both a wooden plate and a slice of cheese exploded in front of me. I reloaded to prevent that (yeah, I'm slightly OCD) but it kept happening all the times. Luckily, after talking with Alvor, the Steal tag disappeared and cleaned the floor .

That's it for now.

I'll be making the switch from console to pc at Christmas. You mentioning giving your Xbox to your younger brother amused me... It makes me want to switch even sooner.

You might want to pick up the unofficial patches on the nexus and don't go mod crazy until you know your rig can handle it, oh and if you want you can use a controller I use the 360 controller.

I agree with the suggestion to pick up the Unofficial Patches--they eliminate a lot of bothersome issues. I'd also suggest getting SkyUI--that'll fix the inventory interface so it works better for keyboard/mouse (that is, if you aren't going to use the controller with your PC as was suggested).

I concur with the above statements. There are unofficial patches for all of the DLC as well, along with many good user interface and game play changing mods.

I made the switch a few months back and since I built a system just for gaming and multi-media, one of my old PS3s got moved to my 6 yo daughter's room and the other is just staring at me from a shelf in a spare bedroom..all lonely and stuff, lol.

I tried to use the mouse keyboard combo as well but ultimately ended up using my PS3 controller.

Have fun and like VATROU said, don't over do the mods until you know it's stable. In other words add them slow but I guarantee it will change the game immensely and add many additional hours to it.

congrats on the switch.

The PC controls will become second nature soon enough. Only time I ever run into issues is when playing in the dark and I hit the wrong key heh.

If you haven't already, check out Skyrim Nexus website and look into some mods. I recommend the unofficial patches first. Those repair a lot of issues caused by or over looked in official patches.

I've already have an account there and am figuring what ENB would fit me best for screenshots and stuff. If do it quick enough, I'll be posting in your thread from time to time. Besides, have you guys got suggestions on the Nexus experience, ENB, how to avoid to mess up my Skyrim root with clutter? Thanks.

look for mods that suit your tastes but check the comments and endorcements. Usually if I see something come out I want to try, I'll track it for a while and see how it works and what issues people come across.
