Shhh he’s going to report you for necromancy !
YOU PUT ME BACK ON THAT ALTAR THIS INSTANT OR I’LL CALL THE GUARDS DOWN ON YOUR SORRY ASS
fekkin peta bastards
It seems the game will look substantially than the consoles’ version seeing that the recommended specs are pretty high.
Or it could just be unoptimized.
Nah, it’s not surprising, they’ve already said the PC version will have better graphics.
With the size its one of 3 things, they have a fucking insane compression ratio, they use very few assets or the textures look like ass.
Also correct me if I am wrong but haven’t PC games in the past used fairly bloated listed system reqs to give the impression that I will look better than it does?
Oh god you should see the Bethesda forums right now! People are raging and canceling their pre-orders just because they think 6 GB is ruining the game or something. Oblivion was like 4.6 GB so it sounds pretty normal to me.
Oh god you should see any dedicated gaming forum, they are all full of whiny bitches.
Oh wait.
This is for a mod, not a game 
.
They just don’t know any better. The basic terrain data for the world is not very big, all it is is simple geometric data, which can be greatly compressed. What fills it, models, textures, sounds, scripts, etc, is what makes the bulk of the game size and that can also be compressed. Quests are simply scripts, which are very negligible in size and they all consist of telling the game what should the player do and where to go, alongside specific conversation audio and animation that there might be, and other than that, it uses whatever assets are already in the game.
Open world games like The Elder Scrolls are often times surprisingly small in file size despite the amount of content in it.
I’m pretty sure we are aware of this and aren’t quite as thick headed as the people on TES boards. I hope.
Anyways I know this is just for a mod but still gaming communities have a tendency to be overly whiny.
It gets worse the “deeper” the game is, specially with RPGs. You mess with their legacy and they’ll eat you alive.
I still remember the shitstorm that Fallout 3 caused within the hardcore Fallout fandom, particularly in the No Mutants Allowed forum. Christ.
Are you saying our community isn’t whiny as hell?
The fuck you say, Kairo? Are you implying this mod isn’t a game?
I’LL FUCK YOUR SHIT UP (insert derogatory term for an African-American here)!!!
It’s really funny, because the 80+ features why everyone was hyped up about the game in the first place are still going to be there.
Wait. What did i miss? Why are people whining and getting upset?
i’m still totally stoked. So what? The game has a 6Gb install; that’s normal. isn’t it?
-Kawai Tei-
Skyrim: 6GB[/SIZE]
Battlefield 3: 15GB
Modern Warfare 3: 16GB[/SIZE]
RAGE: 20GB
lol wtf did they put in that game
And yet, Skyrim is going to have a lot more content and game length than all of those combined.
Yeah, optimization! Less I have to download if the data doesn’t come on the disk!
Some clips I haven’t seen yet.
