Did you order the Collectors Edition? It costs a whopping 150 euros here, that's how much I paid for my DS Lite!

Yeah the obscene price of the CE is pretty standard.
and kind of sad that they'd rip their fans off as much as they are. I was really disappointed when I saw the CE and its price.

I found the PC requirements here

Minimum specs:

• Operating System: Win XP/7/Vista (32 or 64 bit)
• CPU: Dual Core 2Ghz
• Memory: 2GB RAM
• Video Card: DirectX9c video card w/ 512MB RAM

Recommended specs:

• Operating System: Win XP/7
• CPU: Quad-Core Intel/AMD CPU
• Memory: 4GB RAM, 6GB Hard Drive Space
• Sound: DirectX compatible sound card
• Video Card: DirectX9 video card with 1GB memory. GTX 260/Radeon 4890 or higher

Just a little FYI to the PC master race.

6GB hard drive space?
Crap that's small.

Looks good for my specs however. I need more RAM (only got 6GB) but otherwise my specs are good to go.

I knew they were releasing them this week, but I was at school when they released them. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll edit the first post.

Game has been in development for 4-5 years, they had time to fine-tune it, 6GB is indeed not a lot. And you RAM is perfect mate, you need 4GB max

Nope. I'd rather pay $20 for a better quality statue of a dragon, pretend it's Alduin, and get a torrent of the art book. Maybe if the CE was $50 cheaper I would consider it, but it's way overpriced as of yet.

 

[Satangel]

Added an unboxing of the Collectors Edition under 'Cool Videos'. Only 14 days left!

 

[ZAFDeltaForce]

Definitely getting for PC.

I played Oblivion on the PC and it feels more natural that way. Also, mods are awesome

New compression tech as seen in recent games.

And you do not need more ram, most games dont use up more than 1.5 gb.

360 version leaked

Only 10 days before the official release!

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Guys....I just found some awesome shit. Spoiler alert!

Spoiler

 

[the_randomizer]

Kinda worried about my PC not being able to play it decently at medium settings, but I guess it doesn't hurt to try, huh? This game just looks too bloody awesome to pass up.

Here are my specs; keep in mind I built this about three years ago (around Christmas) (try to hold back any built up laughter, I know my rig sucks)

CPU: Core 2 Duo E8400 (Wolfdale) 3.0GHz (MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1)
GPU: eVGA GeForce 250 GTS 1GB GDDR3
RAM: 4096MB DDR2 SDRAM PC26400 1333MHz
OS: Windows 7 Home Edition
HDD: 600GB Western Digital HDD (primary) + 120GB Maxtor HDD (secondary)

It isn't that bad. I think you should be able run it at low/medium, no problem. You'll at least run it, that's a start

 

[the_randomizer]

Low to medium, huh? That's what I thought. Maybe I'll just get the PS3 version instead. No configuration needed, and no keyboard hand cramps either. Sure, I can't mod the game, but whatever.

Low Skyrim above 720p res will be higher quality than ps3. just a heads up.
Remember, ps3 has no AA, runs at 720p, and 30 fps.

 

[the_randomizer]

Oh, good. Maybe I'll get the PC version after all. My monitor doesn't get past 720p, so, yeah. I just hope I don't have the same issue Crysis gave me when I played it a couple of years ago (GPU overheated and got a BSOD). Then again, it was poorly optimized.

 

[prowler]

I'm getting PS3 version it's not like I can play the PC version anyway but if I did have a choice, it'll still be PS3.

 

[mightymuffy]

This is the sort of game I wanna play chilled out on a nice big seat, downstairs, in front of the telly after a hard days work, and whilst I've got both consoles the 360 one is the version I'll be getting... once I've finished with that game I'll grab the PC version (and looking at the specs I should manage Ultra settings too ) and check out the mods available by then.... next week cannot come quick enough anyway!!
