IT'S SKYRIM!

It didn't get cut but it could have been patched in relatively easily and I can't help but feel like something is seriously wrong with their development process if they did stuff like that in a week and yet couldn't make more than a couple of major improvements over Oblivion in three years.

my game freezes when i go into water now...

Don't go in water.

then there are certain areas i can't explore

Just wait for summer, the water will be warmer then.

yay the bugs are gone

max level

yay, with dragonborn dlc i can reset my shitty perk choices

I sold my Xbox 360 today, and whilst packing all my games away for the final time, there were only a few I was genuinely sorry to lose. Skyrim was one of them. That said, I do own the PC version as well, I just never installed Steam to let me play it. With that shocking admission of laziness out of the way, I'm currently installing the game proper.

Any essential PC mods I should be consider to really ram home the potential difference between PC Skyrim and the 360 era game?

Give me your 360 games.

What's left is on eBay.

Get SkyUI, everything else is personal preference.

There are some pretty cool mods out there though, I remember enjoying one that completely revamped the melee combat.

Now you just need to sell your Xbone.

if I had Skyrim on PC, I'd get all the mods that make it look super realistic and fancy as fuck.

But then I'd also have to upgrade my PC a bit to be able to run it, so eh.

You definitely wouldn't. Your PC is overkill as far as Skyrim is concerned.

I have considered it, actually.  I haven't spent that much time with it the last month, and if I got back what I paid for it I'd be happy.  Not that I don't like it, it's impressive enough, I just don't think I can really justify having something worth £400 laying around and not being used.
 
The 3DS is likely to go next; I haven't touched it since I finished Fire Emblem Awakening.

Yeah, Skyrim isn't actually that demanding.  Even my laptop runs it without any problems at 1080p / 60+ fps, though that is without any of the more heavy-duty mods thus far.

you really think I can run all those mods that make it look so beautiful? I've got a strong PC for sure, but I have my reservations on some of the mods I've seen.

nude mod

Yes, you definitely can. When Skyrim came out I had worse hardware than you have, assuming that topic you made is still accurate, and I modded the shit out of it.

yeah, it's still accurate indeed. pretty neat i guess.


feel kinda bad I didn't have this PC when Skyrim came out though..I'm not gonna buy it again.

Let Neo make your PC decisions for you, you seem a little out of your depth. From what i understand your pc should be better looking than PS4.

I tried running the Realvision ENB mod. It looked beautiful.

Until I moved. FRAPS showed the framerate was dropping to an average of 2-3, so it was pretty much totally unplayable but it looked so, so good when I stopped moving. I'm playing around with some of the less intensive mods, just to see what my laptop can cope with. Fingers crossed.
