1. I don't own any consoles (last console I had was the Nintendo Entertainment System about 20 years ago)

2. after playing recent games at 1920x1080 resolution with high res 2048x2048 texture pack, SSAO, 16 x AF, high quality shadows, and various graphics mods, I could never go back to gaming at a lower resolution such as 1280x720

3. I'm more comfortable gaming on my sofa using wireless NumPad and wireless mouse, with my laptop connected to 1080p projector via HDMI cable

4. 30,000+ mods available for Oblivion, including some truly epic mods that tremendously improve the gameplay experience, suggests there will be some great must-have mods for Skyrim

5. I will be creating some mods for Skyrim, so I need to be able to run the Creation Kit on my PC and test and tweak the mod.

The immediate reason is better textures, and playing on true 1080 on a 32 inch hd tv.

And mods, of course, as I know I'll have a few problems.

I never added any mods to Oblivion.. But after seeing the reasons alot of you are using PC i think i might!!
My main reason is deffo mouse and keyboard. I used to hate the idea of using Mouse and keyboard but once i got used to it i was hooked BIG time.

Because my new computer can probably play it. And I'm always on my computer reading fanfiction anyway, so if I get even the slightest urge to play Skyrim I'm just 3 clicks away!

Plus if I get it for the ps3 or 360 I have to walk aaaall the way to the tv, switch some cables around cause I always end up having the wrong console connected to the tv, turn on the powersaving thing behind the tv, turn on the tv, turn on the power on the console, find the controller, clear some space on the couch, find the right channel and finally, start the game.
And then there would probably be all those annoying achievment messages...

Also, mods.

Oh yeah, and I can't aim for [censored] using the ps3 or 360 controllers and I kinda like using ranged attacks.

mods

My PC makes console graphics look like a joke
Mods
Mouse and Keyboard > Controller
Mods
Bugfixes
Mods
Better frame rate
Did I mention mods?

Mods
Mouse & Keyboard FTW
Higher Performance

Can't wait for the Skyrim version of "Midas Magic of Aurum", considering that Oblivion mod heavily influenced Skyrim's magic system.

I don't play it for PC because i love achievements for 360, along with the fact that all my friends have xbox live, so i'll be party chatting with them.

Mods. Mods for Oblivion are the reason I bought my first gaming PC.

Better graphics, ini tweaks & ini cheats are also nice.

It's just a more personal experience when I play it on PC. When I play on the console, it just feels like a videogame.

I am more familiar with the PC controls

Because I have a PC... :shrug:

If I do get Skyrim it will be for PC

Mouse/Keyboard FTW
CK
mods

Superior graphics, I can sitll play on my TV with surround sound, mods (chiefly texture mods), and mouse and keyboard is much better for anything except racing and sports games.

Mods.
Better Graphics.
Faster Loading Times and Framerate.
I can use Mouse/Keyboard or any controller/jostick - more control options.
I can play Skyrim while using Skype and other chat on my computer (though personally, I'd rather be alone when I play it).
Graphics Extenders in the future.
Even if mods were on the consoles eventually, what about a script extender?
Easier to get updates (I can't get a good connection with my Xbox 360).
I can get Expansion Packs without downloads - I can go to the store and install it from a disc.
Easily can take screenshots/screen record.
I can show off my PC with Skyrim.
Did I mention Mods?

Because I have a powerful PC that means I can play Skyrim with ramped up graphics

Then there's the mods of course

I have a PS3 and I **might** give it a spin on the PS3, just to see how it feels. But I'm sure that once mods start coming out that experiment will fall by the wayside pretty quickly...

You know, I never even thought of that... Me and a group of friends playing together party-style, though in our own single player worlds, though that would also work for Xbox 360, not sure about PS3 as I don't own one and have never played online with one. I am thinking about having a Skyrim LAN party when it comes out if enough of my friends get it. Hell, if we wanted to, we could do a community based Team Speak/Ventrillo/any other VOIP networked party for Skyrim, each of us playing in our own respective worlds of course, not sure if it's been done with other TES games before.

Oh and of course I'm getting it for PC, maybe Xbox 360 as well if I can afford both at the time. As for the reason why PC for me, it's for all the same reasons you already mentioned OP.

Mods and controls.

Mods,Better Textures,Better Fames, Mouse and Keyboard!

Because it's a Western RPG and the only RPGs I'm comfortable playing on consoles are old SNES-JRPGS.

And mods.

And superior graphics.

And superior framerates.

And superior input system.

And superior resolution, even on a smaller screen.

And because by sitting closer, the screen being smaller is unnoticable.

Because I don't own a console (at least now. I did have a Colecovision back in the day) and probably never will. Nothing personal against them or the people who play them. But after 25+ years of using Keyboard and mouse I just prefer it.
