genuine question..
fanboys, control yourselves.
well i'm really leaning towards xbox atm
mainly because i don't get my computer until december.. it's cheaper on xbox too.
but do you really think there is any dramatic differences between pc/xbox? i mean like gameplay/plot changes that would seriously hinder the experience and make me regret not buying PC or whatever... not just "PC IS BETTA CONSOLES ARE 4 FAGZ"
:)
The great part of about getting the PC version is the Mods and if something is glaringly wrong with the game like let say the enemy scaling in Oblivion that can easily be fixed with a mod where you can't do that with the console version unless Bathesda sends a patch that that changes that.
I believed PC version are usually the best on the long run especially from bethesda studios but not necessarily the best version during launched day with technical difficulties.
PC version allow you to create mods and use them, Consoles only support custom mods, does not allow you to create them.
well simple, if your not the tech savy and not into creating or modifying those user created contents. Consoles would be a better option.
I'm doing the sensible thing and getting for both platforms. HAHAHA!
Well your wallet wouldnt be pleased.
30 days dlc exclusivity on 360....a cheap damn marketing trap - but it can count if you plan to play this game a lot. to wait for 30 days to get the dlc knowing all the 360´s players already play it could kill you. i only have a 360 atm anyway so this is obviously the version i bought. it´s the main development platform so i believe it will be a good choice.
PC has the potential of getting loads of mods, when you're stuck on Console with the game and the game only. Plus if you have a decent pc, it will look far better.
Owning a good pc, xbox and PS3, I don't even hesitate, PC version it is for me!
In most other cases I would recommend the 360 version, but when it comes to Skyrim, PC is the way to go. The Elder Scrolls mod community is awesome.
PC.
I wouldn't go near the 360 or PS3 versions. The vanilla game has too many flaws.
Just got my Xbox copy!! God, the map you get inside is just beautiful.
if you have a high end pc, definitely pc
beth said that xbox grphics is the low settting from the pc
+plus as someon else said it, the mods which start showing even from day one
PS3 here. After weeks of contemplating a day 1 purchase, the reviews have pushed me over the edge...
PC or Xbox is a no brainer. PC if you want superior graphics/performance.
The real question I'm waiting to have answered is Xbox or PS3. I prefer gaming on PS3 but am hearing good things about Xbox version and nothing about PS3 so far..
Found this console comparison video encase anyone's interested. Ofcourse, not sure of the source or validity.
I have decent computer with a GTX480 GPU. I'm buying the 360 version though.
I prefer playing with controller on a console for these games, then I buy the PC version later when all the mods come out.
The fact that the mods don't come out on console is actually a plus, as I play the game as it was meant to be played, and with the console version there is no temptation to use console commands to cheat ever.
Once I essentially finish or complete the bulk of a bethesda game, I buy the PC version, and play with all the mods. It takes time for all the good mods to come out anyway.
Forgive me vg247, but this is a fun little Skyrim vs Oblivion game engine screenshot comparison....really reminds you how far Bethesda has come.

BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think that pc wins it for me,best platform to play RPGs like TES or FO imo...
and that would be because both the high graphical performance and well,mods !
If you're desperate to play the game now then get the 360 version now and trade it in for the PC version later. The 360 version will run you £39.99 +/- £5, the PC version can be had around £25 now, the trade-in values for the xbox version should still be fairly high by xmas.
If you want to know what the PC version of the game can offer you that the xbox version can't just head on down to TESnexus and browse the mods.
Content alone: New weapons, armour, items, playable races, entire new areas to explore, new quests for Cyrodil and the new areas, new enemies.
Aside from adding content mods can significantly change the way the game works, the levelling system can be completely revamped, the magic system, the damage system, the combat system, everything.
Oblivion also had a massive range of texture, lighting and other graphical enhancement mods that made it look less like a came that came out over 5 years ago, although these probably aren't necessary now, in 5 years time Skyrim on xbox will look like a 5 year old game while Skyrim on PC won't. Modders also made a lot of changes to facial and body textures so the women look more like women and the men look more like men instead of everyone looking like midding unisex weirdos with half of them having weird chest bumps approximating breats.
Also worth noting is that the "Unofficial Patches" for Morrowind and Oblivion contain thousands of fixes Bethesda never bothered to fix themselves.
And it's all free of charge.
Xbox. I'm not the type of person to spend thousands of hours on pointless tinkering.
Don't know why Bethesda's games lack local & online co-op, they seem perfect for it.
@Christopher Jack
Howard said it became a choice of Dragons or Multiplayer. You can tell which one won. Plus I prefer no MP in TES, the amount of content would be reduced dramatically with MP since it sucks up a lot of resources.
