I didn’t have a problem completing the companions questline, but I did later encounter a hilarious bug, where a character who had died during that questline magically respawned as if nothing had ever happened. (Sans all their clothing, which I had looted off them.)

I’d argue against “are the best” – Diablo 3 is coming out in like, less than a month.

I got Skyrim on xbox, because I wanted to be able to access my PC sometime in the month after I bought it, and my housemates were rather keen on playing Skyrim 24/7.

While it’s not as buggy as PS3, there are lots of small interface or mechanical irritants that I know my PC-playing compadres can jsut mod out of existance. (For example, I hate that I can’t buy all the perks with one character, but instead have to level other characters to get all the cool shit. My PC-playing friends just installed a mod that lets you buy perks for dragon souls)

Because some folks don’t have a desktop that will handle the load.

Me, I have a computer, and avoided consoles entirely, mostly because of mods – which have stretched the lifespan of my games a great deal. (I still play Oblivion….)

Skyrim felt a little flat to me, in comparison to Oblivion. The magic system lacked flexibility, ditto for magic item creation.

Fallout 3 on the other hand was wonderful, at least after Broken Steel fixed the Broken Ending. :^P

You should honestly build your own PC when the next time you get one comes up.

Going strictly on the tower, its innards, and an OEM copy of windows, you could probably get a decent/good rig in the $700 range, $800 if you want something with pretty graphics. $600 if you want something that can just play the games with medium or less graphics.

Sure, it’ll cost you more than a cheapo pc, but if you consider the fact Steam has sales every freaking day and that you’ll ALSO be using it for your other pc activities, it’ll pay for itself eventually.

Then again…with all those Steam sales, you’ll be buying more games so…
