rebelscum Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 There are several reasons why I haven't bought Skyrim yet. #1 My ageing PC won't cope and have to spec a new one out with at least 400GT card.#2 I don't want to fork out £40 for the PS3 version.#3 No construction engine/modding yet. With Oblivion I created all my own Conan character and used the Conan character with pure Barbarian setup.#4 I'm off on 3 weeks winter holiday in a few weeks and will be on a beach instead of in front of a PC, if I start skyrim now, I know I won't want to go.#5 I played Morrowind and Obvliion to death and my Oblivion was so patched, and modded with spells, monster, character and graphic add ons, I'm worried about being disappointed with the graphics from what I've been reading on the forum. I'm going to wait for the new year when price drops and there is some good user content out there, then with my new PC I'm going to get into the innards of it and make it the game I want to play as I did with Obvlivion.

Fatalmasterpiece Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I find it pretty odd all the people complaining about graphics. It's mostly people running it on consoles, older graphics cards, or don't understand how to tweak their gpu and ini config. Just check out the image share section. The game looks stunning.

chikawowwow Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 That's good to know. I was starting to worry why the Steam statistics only had a peak of 201,929 people playing TES:V Skyrim, instead of 201,930....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushkatu Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The guy just shared his reasons, give him a break. Why he shared'em? I don't know and I don't care. Forums do tend to get wierd after a game is released. Great times these ones, to be honest. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyanheart Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 #1 My ageing PC won't cope and have to spec a new one out with at least 400GT card. Even if you're trying to do a "budget" build, don't bother with anything less than a GTX 560Ti. By that time, a 570 might even be "budget" priced. I have a GTS 450 in one of my machines, and it plays Oblivion, Fallout, New Vegas, and many other games respectably, but it's not going to hold up to modern and future games as long as a 560 or 570 will.

fleeingfish Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Will the mods changing the looks of things, will it impact performance at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I expected a few 'you must buy the game, play it now' comments and prompt some useful discussion e.g Lyanheart, instead of getting trolled by a few lamers questioning why I posted. This is an open forum, what are you 'the forum police'? sheesh Thanks for the budget build info Lyanheart. I am trying to be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic1357890 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 #5 I played Morrowind and Obvliion to death and my Oblivion was so patched, and modded with spells, monster, character and graphic add ons, I'm worried about being disappointed with the graphics from what I've been reading on the forum. My oblivion install folder is at nearly 30 gigabytes now, I have modded the game to death over the past 4 years. The only thing missing from skyrim is a weather mod and a HD texture pack, aside from that the way everything is rendered outdoors is 100 times better than even an extensively modded oblivion. I fired oblivion up this morning and was shocked at how bad it actually looks in comparison. (trees and bushes using bitmaps for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
