Yes, it will. :rofl: :rofl:






It's still user-generated content.

No you misunderstood me. I am talking about Steam requirement even for the physical version like Fallout New Vegas.

Oh...I doubt it. Would be stupid if so. And can't you just make a Steam account? Or do you have to pay like monthly for one?

the only thing mods are good for is fixing glitches

So http://www.lostspires.com/ must be pure junk, right? :facepalm:

You're both wrong. It may be better on a PC. The fact of the matter is that the PC version will most likely range from below console settings to above in options. One's PC will determine what one's experience will be like.

Yea, I thought NV required it. It seems that's the path Beth is going down, so Skyrim will probably require it.

And adding:

Better Graphics (higher res textures, open cities, etc)
Quests
Dungeson/Ruins/Forts/etc
NPCs

And more.

That's true. If you have a really crappy PC, you're best playing it on the console (if you have one already). Or, if you don't already have a console, buying a better PC might be an option.

Steam can also be used as a DRM service, like with New Vegas. So you will have to run the steam client to play New Vegas no matter how you obtained a copy of the game.

no it really wont it will be the same on all systems with minor graphic changes but graphics don't make a game awesome :banana:

It's a matter of principle. What is the point of buying a physical copy if i am just forced onto a Digital distribution service anyway?

If you play it on my PC, it won't look or run too well. If you play it on Shasow's PC, I'll bet it will have higher resolutions, the coveted AA, and a better framerate.

I have been playing TES games for nearly a decade now, and for nearly a decade I have never given a single [censored] about mods, to hell with 'em!

Ya. I play on console. Even so, it still will have hundreds of hours of gameplay. Way more then most games that come out at the same price.

Nope. My PC isn't too great. I play Oblivion with low textures and default everything else. It works good with medium (default) textures...but I downloaded this house mod that lowered my FPS a whole bunch...so I lowered my texture detail. I uninstalled the mod because of the FPS drops, but I kept low textures because I didn't notice a single difference.

Why didn't you lie?! I was trying to make a point and now you've cost me my wager!

Why the pc elitism? They are the same game... Pc just has the option of adding more usless stuff...

My graphics are still better than on consoles. :banana: :banana:

Controls much more easy too. And I can play anything on the go (laptop)! And the whole room doesn't see my playing my games.

you don't have to pay a monthly fee to steam, but you will be paying a monthly internet bill. which for me (if I was the one paying the bills) would be 75$ a month. you can play offline, but you have to be able to log in online to select offline to begin with so if you don't have internet and steam is required your screwed. nothing imo is wrong with steam other than not getting to have a physical copy for when steam no longer exists but games should not be exclusivly available through a single service



NV did require it. now what we don't know if it was BGS idea to provide it exclusivly through steam or Obsidian, but I don't know why OBS. would have a say in that matter since they made the game not published it. SK might be steam exclusive, but I think it might actually be available other ways since there was a backlash of sorts among a good number of people.

you have been beaten :mage:

I have no doubt that this Steam requirement will lower the sales of Skyrim. I'd be enraged! :swear:

Ok cool. Thanks for the clarification.

Honestly, I don't think so. Default everything with low textures must be the same as the 360 version, but with the lower resolution textures you mentioned and maybe a slightly higher framerate to compensate for to the lower textures. It probably also has faster load times Then, the PS3 version, which was noted to look and perform better than the 360 version after undergoing one year of extra optimization, is probably a bit superior to your version in the graphics department, so...

Except my PSN account doesn't get hacked on the PC.
