Elder Scrolls V
LTK:
The shouts are totally worth advancing the main quest for, though. I mean, for 20 levels or so I only knew Fus and Ro, which are as useful as a shield bash and a power shield bash respectively, but Da quite literally hits it out of the park. One time I shouted an Orc in full plate armor off the top of a tower. I don't know whether a suit of armor makes you less or more likely to survive after a fall, but he sure as hell wasn't getting up. I now know two words of both the Fire and Frost Breath shouts; if the third word makes as much of a difference as it does with Unrelenting Force, I think I might go mad with power.

STILL haven't gotten to this yet. I know the PC version is far superior because of mods and better graphics and probably better controls etc. etc. but is the 360 version similarly great? Buying a new computer soon and if I wanted to play Skyrim on it, I'd have to get a more expensive one than I was planning to, is why I ask.
LTK:
I can't objectively compare the two because I've only played the PC version, but my instinctive reaction is a resounding NOPE. You need only look at some of the screenshots for some of the most popular mods to see the difference in looks. But control-wise, the PC version is sorely unoptimized. Most of the menus have been left completely unaltered from the console version, meaning that you can often only have one item selection on screen at a time. It's honestly torturous to use on the PC version. Fortunately, there are already a number of excellent mods to remedy this, such as SkyUI. Installing it got rid of all my inventory woes.
Also, if you keep your eyes peeled you could probably find a PC version of Skyrim for half price of the console version, which slightly compensates for the cost of your computer. :wink:
TheFuriousWombat:
ok so the next question is, is it worth paying more than I was planning to for a new computer (which I'm getting anyway) in order to play this? Obviously that would mean I could play a bunch of other cool games with high systems reqs as well but I'm pretty busy these days so I don't have time to juggle lots of different games. Is Skyrim really, really awesome or just quite good? Or is it not that good? Because if it's one of the latter, I'll save my money but of it's the former I have some tough decisions to make.
ackblom12:
Keeping in mind that I'm getting rather jaded with keeping up with the PC market, I'd vote 360 as long as you have a HD television. The vanilla game is really well done compared to past vanilla builds and there hasn't been a single thing that's offended me in the quality of the game thus far.
