Well yeah, but shonuff asked whether he should console or pc and I just wanted to put that note in there. Also, 360 version has a bug if you install to hd. If you have the means and capabilities, I'd go for pc version.

bug? what bug.

if you install to hd, it overwrites the hd textures. if you play from disc you're good.

I'm not understanding. Is there 2 discs, like BF3?

It's right up my alley, but I've never played an Oblivion game. Plus I kinda think I play enough games with SC2 and WoW, dunno if I should buy something I'll most likely sink tons of hours in lol

Also is there somewhere non spoilery I can read about character races/traits so I can think about my character now?

The googles are telling me that yes, it will support the 360 pad.

I'd hope so too for my 5850. Better look good

Controller was fine for New Vegas. Only concern is dual wielding.

Thank you veterans for giving me the day off so I can play Skyrim on Friday. WWI was totally worth it now.

cool breeze · « **Reply #88 on:** November 10, 2011, 03:15:29 AM »

has there been any talk of the PC version controls? everything seems tailored for console controllers. I'm wondering if they made a specific interface for PC or if it's cluttered or if I should just use my 360 controller (whenever I play skyrim).

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #89 on:** November 10, 2011, 03:20:26 AM »

I'm probably leaning towards using my 360 controller, if only because I think dual wielding will be awkward otherwise and I plan on using a sword in one hand and spells in the other for my initial playthrough.

the only scaling that happened in Fallout 3 was on the main story quests and areas.

As long as there's no item scaling. I don't want to see everyday bums walking around with glass armor and daedric swords like in Oblivion.

maxy · « **Reply #111 on:** November 10, 2011, 10:03:04 AM »

Bethesda engines steaming,level of detail system always looked crappy to me,but...

PS3 looks better in those pics.

One explanation is that they use hdd as a cache even if you install so the drive has to stream everything and write at the same time.

It wouldn't surprise me if disc beats hdd,in 360 case.USB might beat both,who knows

Interesting fact
360 install is 3.8 GB,PS3 mandatory install is 5.5GB

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #112 on:** November 10, 2011, 10:10:55 AM »

Skyrim is about 5.5GB on Steam too.

Quote from: Giant Bomb

The PC version... uses the exact same interface, but it actually works quite well with a mouse and keyboard. That's mainly because that four-way menu and the list of items and spells are all easily navigable with WASD, and even when you want to equip a highlighted item, you only need to click the mouse button you want to map it to, regardless of where the cursor is.
