I only ever play RPGs on PC TBH. Well, unless you count Red Dead Redemption as a RPG... Which I don't because I have to keep my autistic nature in check.

I don't want to have to buy a copy of Windows just to run it tbh...A TV and XBox/PlayStation would be a more worthwhile 'investment'...I think... |

Still tempted to go and buy it. PC version as thats where i played the rest, and use the occasional mod. Pretty much everone I know who plays said go for it. |

You could just download a 90-day trial of Windows 7 Enterprise from the MS website. Even for Skyrim 90 days should be long enough... |

Having issues with it. The graphics are amazing and much better than Morrowind. I found the controls okay too but what pisses me off is the entire collecting/using things. I'm pretty much a hoarder - take everything I can find and then sell it for as much as possible. The more stuff I can carry, so much the better. I found whether it detects me pressing the E key pretty hit'n'miss. At one point I was trying to pick up a book (this is in the torturer's cell right near the beginning of the game). For some reason it would move around with my cursor but I couldn't pick it up! After faffing around, I messed around in the cells and then went back and only then did it register. Ditto with the coin purse I found there. I also found that using the E key to search sometimes brought up the inventory and I couldn't get out of it without having to click store/equip various items. |

I have heard on twitter from hundreds of people that the game plays a LOT better on pc if you use a Xbox 360 controller to play it. If you had a wired control I would seriously recommend it. The menu makes a lot more sense when using a game pad rather than mouse/keyboard. The entire navigation of the menu is done using the control sticks and makes sense moving in and out of menu layers etc... I've just been mixing all the ingredients I've been collecting and made up an entire lvl just with alchemy Got some seriously good potions and poisons too! Not used a poison yet though. Will have to load up some arrows with it before opening combat. |

well I've downloaded the mod to allow use of ram over the 2GB limit and I just need to figure out how to install the No Spiders mod. Yeah Skyrim was made with the console in mind which is why the entire thing is doing my nut in. I also need to find my optical mouse, or my second optical mouse, or my wireless minimouse. |

It turns the spiders into bears/crabs/rats for those who aren't fans of spiders. Like me. |

There is some combination of double-tapping 'e' to allow you to simply move things about the world. In Oblivion it was done with the Z key but that's not been reserved for the shouts. Generally speaking I use a mix of the scroll wheel and WASD for navigating the menus and that seems to work well. The scroll wheel in particular works well with the favourites menu accessed by the letter 'q'. |

Pointless question really: Is it pronounced Sky Rim or Skirrim? Just curious |

I pronounce it Sky Rim. However the NPCs in the game seem to say something like Sky Rm. i.e. the y is pronounced and strong and the i is almost silent. |
