Yeah. There's about 3 threads down in LA where we talked a lot about hardware recently. Might want to check in there.

 My current rig which was made four years ago for around $400 runs Skyrim just fine. Don't worry about it too much and look around for sales, they can get pretty ridiculous on Newegg.

If it can run on a $200 XBox...

I would've gotten it on PC but my PC is weak and I am not rich.

I have it on my PC and my PC isn't that expensive. When I tell people the specs of my Computer they look at me and go... HOW YOU STILL START UP!?!?!?! Then I go onto Battlefield3 to American Servers and have nearly 300ping and get a KDR of something like 1:1.4 on the best of days. And People look at me going... HOW YOU DO THIS SHIT!?!?!?!?!? Then I go and do some Skyrim and run it on the highest graphics I can (Vanilla Wise, haven't even started refining it with Mods) and enjoy it in all its grandeur and I hold my head high and say, "Its cause I am Aussie..."

You realize BF3 has quite a large aussie community where you can play with <50 ping on any day and one of the reasons you do well is you are basically teleporting all over the place to everyone else playing?

  Oh and yeah, skyrim will run on most machines, its made to be low end, the game its self is something like 5 gig, which by memory is smaller than oblivion.

It isn't like the dawn of a new era in video game graphics. Textures are very low-res. If you don't have any problems running Oblivion you should be fine, if you don't want ultra settings.

[Putnam]

Yeah, pretty much all of the graphics improvements compared to Oblivion are the animations (GIGANTIC improvement) and NPC models (also huge)

[Tarran]

Textures also appear to be quite better in my opinion.

They look good from far but when you close in, it just seems weird. Especially shadows.

[NobodyPro]

The CK better dispense pizza subs and massage my eyeballs with pure awesome. Because if it doesn't...

I like morrowind it seems so much better with no limits old games are better then the new game for some reason.Get morrowind with alot of mods it will be awesome. 

[Rex_Nex]

Morrowind is a good game, dont get me wrong, but its age shows, even with a plethora of mods.

Personally it only adds value for me, I know though that some people care for graphics, there are those who can ignore that part though.

The combat in Skyrim is too easy. I actually really like what they've done with some parts of the game, it's quite immersive and pretty and the map is big and detailed. Most quests are of good quality too, but my problem is that the story of the quests themselves engages me far more than the combat, instead of the combat being at least almost equally as good. Boss fights should also be more unique and challenging than the weak-as-tissue-paper dragons.

Get Unlevelled Skyrim.

I second that. The word easy won't even be in your vocabulary. I LOVE that mod.
