Blm: So baiscally you didn't play it with mods and enjoyed it, hence fuck mods? Brilliant. Also, when i wrote that reply you hadn't edited in the second paragraph of your post so don't try to play that against me :P

Grift: True enough, but i don't know if that is common knowledge. If they didn't bork the systems i might actually prefer to play it on the couch with a pad as that's a bit more comfy, but de-borking the game with mods is more important than that :P

Well, i should be set anyway. just got a new computer today. 3Ghz i7 quad core, 6 gigs of ram and a GTX 450m card with 1500 megs of ram. I should be good for a few years at least :)

Ok, so first off i never said taht mods are needed, i said that tehy make the game better. Your reply to that is "The game was good enough that it doesn't need mods". How do you want me to interpret that? From over here it seems like you said it doesn't need mods because it was good without them. I'm not agruing your abillity to enjoy the goddamn game here, all i'm saying is that there are mods that improves upon the foundations established by the game enough that they warrant mention and use. Why wouldn't you want to fix some of the problems in the game, even if it is playable without them. Why invent the car? I never had any problems with horse and cart!

No, my reply was that I have it for my Xbox 360 - which, if you aren't aware, is a games console - and still enjoy it immensely to this day, despite the fact that it doesn't come with the possibility of having its flaws fixed (surprise surprise, it has flaws!) through mods. Of course mods can make a game better; that's like saying the sky is blue, cancer isn't nice or Megan Fox is hot. It's almost universally objective.

From over here it seems like you said it doesn't need mods because it was good without them.

In incredibly basic terms that's what I'm saying - and heck, you even agree with me:

Ok, so first off i never said taht mods are needed, i said that tehy make the game better.

So, to recap, mods aren't essential, but they do have the potential of improving the game in question. So, erm, we agree?

Why wouldn't you want to fix some of the problems in the game, even if it is playable without them.

I never said I wouldn't want to fix these problems, but not everyone has access to such luxuries (such as those who own the 360 and/or PS3 versions). As I've said pretty much all along, with the knowledge that I can't correct its flaws, I'm perfectly content with the version I own - despite the fact that I'm missing out on the 'real fun', as you so aptly described it.

I'm not agruing your abillity to enjoy the goddamn game here, all i'm saying is that there are mods that improves upon the foundations established by the game enough that they warrant mention and use.

Also, for those of you bitchin' about the level scaling, it's been confirmed that it won't be like Oblivion's:

http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/115633...

Since people are asking, wanted to briefly touch on level scaling. All our games have had some amount of randomness/levelling based on player level. Skyrim's is similar to Fallout 3's, not Oblivion's.

There was nothing wrong with the scaling in Fallout 3 - well, not to me anyway - so that's one concern which has been addressed.

Just saw the scans and must say the art style is so much better than Oblivion, especially the humanoid models.

Obviously these are PC screens but looks like the standard is set for next gen graphics. (looks like I will be forced to upgrade)

Great news.

I agree with you on the playing and enjoying it just as much on a console, as that's what i'm doing :).

How can you say that you enjoy it as much as something you haven't tried? that's my point, you don't know how you'd look at vanilla oblivion without trying it with mods.

And how do you know i have not tried PC Oblivion mods? oh thats right you don't!!

Granted I only tried a few mods (Wild Creatures / Some quest and a UI bt-mod...) but i still greatly enjoyed and completed the game on a console, and will do so with Skyrim also.

Man, that almost made me want to pursue a career in video games.

Can't believe Skyrim is more or less a whole year away (at least).

Saw the Screens! This is what I always wanted Oblivion to look like. Awesome! If they have good animation I will be in heaven! The art direction destroys all previous efforts. Hype-meter on full!!

I'm not a fan of Oblivion or Fallout's scaling, but there are so many other things that sound awesome in this game, that i care not! :)

Sound of Skyrim: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/01...

We talked with Mark Lampert, audio director and sound designer at Bethesda Game Studios, and the chief architect of the aural experience players will encounter in Skyrim. He revealed details on all the sound elements players will encounter in the game, and had some fascinating examples of his work to share.

Gameinformer got quite the exclusives :P

Level scaling is not bad, in fact it is good to have if done right

Which means have actual new higher level monsters and unique new stuff as you go higher level, than having level 99 rats
