I think this was posted before (though could be my rotten memory) and also, I do hope only DVD. In europe, all big games (UT2004, FarCry and all) have been on DVD so why won't the US do the same?

Vikingod · Feb 6, 2006, 07:42 PM

I posted this in the news a few days ago. From what I understand, its official from Bethesda. The game will only ship DVD, US included, so that is good news (let this lead to all titels doing that, and not charging you $10 extra). I also think I heard the list of supported cards goes back even further, to include as far back as the Radeon 9000 and like NV cards. I guess we'll see when it comes out.

my comp meets the recommended, lets just hope it actually runs good on recommended.

Lowfat · Feb 7, 2006, 12:02 AM

doesn't seem that bad at all. I hopefully should be able to run it with decent detail.

Dude... That's just not true... Oh fine well whatever...

pr0digal jenius · Feb 7, 2006, 04:32 PM

same reason we still sell cassette tapes in the US

looks like the engine is pretty flexible though, if it goes that far back and is as advanced as they claim

Well I need a new videocard anyways and a new motherboard mine is feeling the years.
Ive decided to go back to amd cpu's. I might want to re-try nvidia also since I've had ati for a while. Just might try the game out with the rig I have now. I know the vidcard will be lagging though. It cant even run morrowind with everything on high.

Morrowind gives you trouble? Ouch! I played that game over and over again with my previous 9600 Pro 128 card. I think the only thing I had to cut back was the View Distance.

Lakevren · Feb 9, 2006, 07:04 AM

Ugh, too bad I probably have to play this game with jaggies. Either that, or lower graphics with 2x AA.
