Better graphics.TheLoneBeet said:
Higher resolution. (360 only does 720p and PS3 rarely has 1080p outside of exclusives).
higher frame rate. (360 & PS3 likely capped at 30fps)
Higher field of view.
Better inventory management and controls. (If Bethesda doesn't fuck it up)
Mods are still the most obvious reason. I never use to mod games either, but once you start It'll literally up the replay value of the game a huge amount.
PC version all the way
EDIT: Also, fan made patches because Bethesda suck at making their game work.
I think most people just don't care, since they'll be getting it on PC anyway. Besides, you might be able to use mods on console, but you won't be able to create them without a PC.Arontala said:
Bethesda did say the PC version will have better graphics.TheLoneBeet said:
Plus you should look more closely at mods, there are often ones that will improve texture or models while leaving the rest of the game unchanged.
Also, on PC you'll get a choice of controls - it'll have the usual mouse & keyboard, and you can also attach a controller to a PC.
I'll play it on my 360 because that's where all my friends are and I'm going to want to play while talking to them so we can share cool stuff we just found, but I'm also getting it for the PC so I can take part in mods
PC. i think anyone who doesnt play a game like oblivion- that is, a readily moddable game- on a PC is a idiot. at least half of the fun of these types of games are the many patches and mods avalable- reballances, fan items and models, quests, areas, and even up to entire campaigns. I mean, look at the oblivon mod http://www.nehrim.de/indexEV.html
Its not a mod. its a entire coversion built on the oblivion engine. Thats -AT LEAST- two games in one, not considering all the other mods and quests out there.
There is no doubt in my mind that Skyrim will have such support when it comes out. And those poor fools on PS3 and XBOX360 are going to miss out.

Xbox 360. Rendering the land of Skyrim would, I fear, be too much for my laptop which does a decent job with Crysis on Low/Medium settings but is ultimately not a gaming PC.
Besides, I prefer the Xbox control system and I never play mods anyway

Generalisations are fun, aren't they?Jimmybobjr said:
I'm dreadfully sorry sir that I do not have a powerful PC and can't really afford one right now, I guess that just automatically makes me an "idiot" and a "fool" according to you.
So I'm just going to go crawl back into my box under the overpass.
If you can run it, the PC is preferred. Bethesda's post-release support going off of Morrowind and Oblivion has been pretty bad, and it's been up to the modding communities to patch up a lot of the bugs. That's something only available on PC.jackpackage200 said:
PS3, but I'll probably get the PC version if Bethesda don't follow up on their 'trying to implement user-made content on the consoles' thing.
Hell I'll probably get the PC version eventually anyway.
