Now that's just ridiculous. Name off your favorite games and unless they were made by indie devs, PC exclusive companies, or Valve, then you should rethink that. Nearly every game made in the last 5 years under those conditions was built with the console as the lead platform.

As I posted in another thread. Did you guys totally miss Oblivion? Look at the interface. The lock picking game. Making pots... everything about it.

It was made for console. Does that mean the PC version sucked?

Me thinks you guys are getting a bit worked up over nothing.
Yes Morrowind had a better interface.

They actually mean that it will be developed for 360, because we all know that all devs love coding for the PS3.

To the people who said "Oblivion turned out fine". No, it did absolutely not. Thinking it would be Morrowind 2 I was very let down.

Looks like I will be downloading Skyrim instead of buying it then. I really wanted to have a CE version of what I imagined would be one of the greatest gamers ever, but not now that they've taken a dump on PC players (if previous PC ports are any indication...).
Fuck you Bethesda, have it your way.

I'm sure it'll be fine. Not like Morrowind or Oblivion were that complex anyway, I don't think I mind less menus in a FPSRPG.

That's not really a fair thing to say. Your excluding all the good PC games by saying that. That is like saying George Lucas makes the best movies of all time. Think of your top 5 movies and eliminate every move not by GL now all you have left is his movies!

Pc: I must destroy all consoles!!!
User: But Pc... you already are the Consoles!!!

And then Pc became the best hardware gaming system in the world...

And stayed that way since it was created and forever on....

I'm pretty sure you missed the point. Some of the games I didn't exclude (such as Mass Effect, Bioshock, etc) were developed with consoles as the lead platform, but were still amazing.

Plus, what's the big deal? You can clearly see in the article...The lead producer on Skyrim said: ?We use the consoles as our lead SKU? So we develop towards the consoles and then porting to PC is usually not too bad actually.?
...you must not have played too many ports in either direction, huh?
Edit 2: I'm still totally getting it on day 1.
On PC.

Well I didn't really plan on getting Skyrim anyway because I didn't like Oblivion much, but this has killed any chance of it now. PC ports are always done terribly.

I guess when I read "unless they were made by indie devs, PC exclusive companies, or Valve" you were excluding my favorite PC games. Honestly though there are more PC centric games I like than Consoles. Ultimately I only see controllers good for button mashing and that is not what I want to see here.

Bethesda has released some amazing games for PC and consoles. I'm shure the game will be amazing.
I guess we won't know before it is released.
Judging a game by 3 lines of text.. pfft..

No, I understand your point; all I was saying that good games and console games are not mutually exclusive.

I'll still be getting the game but i'll be waiting how many weeks or months it takes for a decent mod to come out that fixes the UI problem and what ever else that needs fixing.

Also depends on how good/bad there new stat system is im sure there will be a mod that alters it back.

I'm probably ninja'd, so I'm not even going to look.

I just hope this doesn't mean the PC version is going to be any less amazing than the console versions. I swear, if they give us PC gamers a shit game just because they want to be friendly to consolers, I'm personally going to murder someone from Bethesda.

Ya so long as they release the mod tools for the PC community I really don't care. The community will fix any of their really dumb decisions they always do anyways. My Fallout 3 resembles the original version about as much as DA:O resembled DA2. In a good way though not the crappy dumb downed way. If they spurn us on mod tools I'll not buy another Bethesda game though.

Everyone worried about ACCESSIBILITY - Calm down.

Accessibility in TES does not equal other types of games. Want proof?

Here are two things that are new in Skyrim.

The Clairvoyance Spell: This spell paints line on the ground that leads you to your next objective.

You may ask, "How is this a good thing?!" Simple. Expect this to replace the magic compass from Oblivion, which pointed you directly to your next objective. Now, making it a spell means that it's there for when people get lost, or if someone just wants to run through the game, while still making it easy for the rest of us to ignore.


Fast Travel: Fast travel from the in-game map returns. Stop, put the torch and pitch fork down. Good. Fast travel from the map returns, but the game also features carriages that can take you to the various cities.

This is another example of Bethesda taking care of both sides. The one thing people from the anti-fast travel camp wanted was a feature more like the silt striders from Morrowind. Rather than, alienate one group, Bethesda included both. So again, people who want to use fast travel can use it, people who want to use the carriages can use it. Everyone else can walk or ride a horse.


Just because a game is "Accessible" does not mean it has been dumbed down. Calm down and give the game a chance.
