[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 5735344, member: 7883"] On PC I've got the collector's edition original release plus Knights of the Nine. On XBox, I've got the GotY edition. I tried and tried on PC, and for whatever reason couldn't get into it....of course, at that time, there were several other games I was into...Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic, World of Warcraft, The Witcher, Neverwinter Nights 2, and Oblivion just kept getting superceeded by other games.....now The Witcher 2, Drakensang and others have taken more time, and just make Oblivion look dated by comparison. Given I've paid for the game twice, I made the decision I have to at least *try* to play it before moving to the sequel....I'm fairly confident once I try Skyrim, I won't try Oblivion again. I was very surprised to find that the GotY edition *didn't* include the Wizard's Towe, Spell Tomes etc.....given they came in the Knights of the Nine expansion pack. Admittedly, now that I'm trying it on XBox 360, I'm getting more interested in it. Maybe I just need to try it on PC with a controller....I just find the whole mouse and keyboard thing not as fun as it used to be.....at least with respect to Oblivion. The other thing is that on PC you really have to know which mods to use...I modded mine up with several things, and just found some of the mods a little glitchy...weird graphical artifacts and such. And overall, walking around is *sloowwww* on my PC. Not as in low FPS....but just that it seems like walking around outside takes forever..to the point it's annoying. On the XBox, it just seems like I get places quicker. I'm not sure if Skyrim will run on my machine. I'm hesitant to buy it and then find out it runs like crap. I have The Witcher 2 running at pretty much high settings, and it runs fine. But I put my video card into a Google search and saw someone say it would let me play at low settings.
