Of course not. The game wouldn't sell if they tried that because only 10,000 or so people would be able to run it.

That ^

You mean the 1,000,000+ that have downloaded the highest-setting ENB on Nexus?

It's alright if you don't like PCs. Let's not pretend that there isn't a HUGE high-end PC market though.

I was one of those 1 million plus, that doesn't mean my computer with it's Saphire Radeon HD 7770 can run it. I could actually reach the recommended specs (which still wouldn't be enough to max everything mind you) if my case could fit my brother's old 660 Ti.

Well, to be blunt, that's your own fault. There's no way a 7770 would be able to run pretty much any high-scale ENB, period. It's common knowledge, reccomended specs be damned. Most people who download and endorse it know what they are doing.

Also, the sales of high-end cards have never been higher. People are much more likely to go buy a high-end card instead of a low-end card, compared to the beginning of last-gen where PC gaming was almost non-existent.

Probably not. Consoles gimp PC games and modders always make them much better.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

What's my own fault? It sounds like you didn't completely understand what I was saying. I downloaded it KNOWING that I couldn't run it with my 7770. You should've figured that out when I told you the recommended specs. I downloaded it, so I wouldn't have to do it later when I build a PC strong enough to run it smoothly. Higher end (not the highest end) GPU sales are going up because the true next gen games are coming out, and true next gen games are coming out because there is a market to support them now that there are new consoles available.

Thats why PC games has a thing called the options menu where you can change the graphics level to low, medium, high or advanced to match the needs of your pc...

OP: Probably not but hopefully the world will be amazing to make up for it! Its like how GTA IV mods at the highest settings looks so mind blowing that GTA V still cant match even with the next gen upgrade but GTA V is still a better game imo

No. They wouldn't even be able to scale down far enough if they put the graphical fidelity that high up. They would essentially have to make a separate game. Not to mention the amount of time and money that would be needed to get it to the level of having the game run all or even most of the graphical mods that dozens upon dozens of individuals and teams created over the years. You're no looking at the entire picture here.

Its not as bad as u think unless the pcs u are thinking of are like pentium 2s or something... The PCs that have a Nvidia 425M (which is a super entry level laptop video card) can even run games like BF4 on low-medium settings no problem (at 720p that is)

Um, OK? What? I can guarantee that most people don't download relatively small ENB files to move to their new rigs, which is a complete hassle since you have to deal with the Data folder and injections, when they can just do it through the Nexus mod manager near instantly. Have you ever even used Nexus?

They won't top those screens in the OP and many PC gamers don't have the setup to even run it at that high of fidelity much less actually play it.

A mid-end card could run almost all of those mods, so I dunno what you're talking about. If you take a Radeon 7950, not even a 7970, it could run all of those. A Nvidea 760 could run almost all of those.

I'm honestly not sure. Keep in mind that that's 100 mods and even the strongest PCs can only run them at around 30fps. Now, I'm sure a dev would be able to make the gamer look like that while using less power, but, I don't know if it will look that good. At least I'm seriously doubting that the console versions will.



One thing I never understood is why do people complain that female characters look "ugly" in Skyrim when its skyrim, its supposed to be a harsh place to live in, a mountain area where barely any cities in there.

It would make a lot of sense in Oblivion , as cyrodil supposed to be the city of beauty and glory... but they made it all cartoony in Elder Scrolls Online.

It's not so much as they are "ugly" as much as it is that they are unpolished. The textures for them are atrocious, as are the customization levels. If you look up a mod called Vilja in Skyrim, you'll see an example of what Bethesda should have done with their characters. She looks like she came from a harsh place, but at the same time she isn't nearly as bland as the vanilla characters.
