yeah, i'm pretty torn too.  If it wasn't for the mass effect 2  content in the CE I would get it on PC, but now.... I just don't know.



Same reason here.

I think i might get both.



                            

There is only one version to get the best version and that is the PC lol. If they have mods then PC it is for me. But if they allow mods on PS3 then it's PS3.

It looks like a good game. I had a question? This isn't a MMO is it? It looks like it by the graphics not being to great. I'm not trying to bash it or anything a good game is a good game no matter the graphics although we haven't played this yet. Also i was wondering are Mages in here only female or can you be a male who can cast magic? It looks like you can only be a woman to cast magic and a guy with a sword which doesn't sound good to me.

good questions.  First of all, nope, it isn't an mmo, it is an RPG.  Graphics aren't too bad actually, most of the gameplay vids are older versioins of the game and are in standard def instead of hi def.  Check out the ign video that shows the console graphics, it's a lot better looking. 

As for mages, yes, you can have mages be either gender.  The character they show in the gameplay vids is a character that you recruit, so she will always be a female.  (if you actually want to recruit her, I know you have a choice on who you recruit).  However, the main character can be male or female, and can choose from different classes like warrior, rogue, and mage.  You can then upgrade that class later to different other unique classes depending on your choices and gameplay style. 

As for mods on the consoles, you won't have that vast support that the PC will have.  However, bioware is talking about taking the best community made stuff and then adding their own polish (i.e. voice acting, script revision, etc.) and then releasing it on the consoles.

I read in an interview that they will try to provide mods to players on consoles and PC but the PC will be the only one with access to the toolkit.


Hopefully that means fans built mods and stuff. And if that's the case I would buy both the PC and PS3 versions.



@gergory and silicon thanks a lot for the info. I will probably get it for PC i will be getting a new PC sometime so this may be a good game to get for it. My PC already could maybe play it but it messes up a lot so i better wait and just keep messing around with oblivion.



One thing i don't like is the sex thing. Like i read they promised one sex scene for people. Promised, you have to promise people they will get a sex scene. I really don't get it. Why put it in there. I always feel when people put sex scenes in games they don't think it will do well so they want to sell sex. That is why i don't like God of War. But people say it's a great game or is that only because of the sex minigame.

It may be funny coming from me when i have a thread about nude mods and how i like them. But i guess if they had a gay sex scene as well i wouldn't be like this. I rather them have no sex scene at all then to have a specific sex scene. But i don't want this to go off topic or anything so i don't want to fight about that it's just my opinion. As long as we see some of the guy lol. (Im sure most don't want to see the guy)

The footage quality is so bad so I have a hard time detecting if this is worse looking than all the other trailers released so far (that must have been PC).
