I'm normally a PC gamer and I want the chance to get mods for Skyrim, but at the same time, I'm afraid of my PC chugging too much...I meet the minimum reqs at least.

If your PC can play it, there is no reason to get it on anything other than PC.

If your PC at least meets the recommended specs, I'd go for it. If you only meet the minimum specs, then you're probably better off with the 360 version. The 360 version isn't as good as the PC version on medium to high settings, but it probably is better than the PC version on low settings, since you'll probably still be chugging at least some of the time.

PC if you can, so you get access to mods.

Mods. Forget the other perks of owning it on PC, you also get mods. In a Bethesda game, specifically an Elder Scrolls game. There will be thousands of mods, and you're a PC gamer and you know that.

If you get it on the XBox 360, you're missing out in the long run. Although, you could wait a few years and get it again on PC. Or, if you don't care about mods, you can just disregard most of this post, although you would still be missing out.

It'll take a while for the worthwhile mods to appear.

accord to Systemrequirementslab I miss on these levels



Quad-core Intel or AMD CPU
You Have: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P7350 @ 2.00GHz

DirectX 9 compatible NVIDIA or AMD ATI video card with 1 GB of RAM (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 or higher; ATI Radeon HD 4890 or higher)
You Have: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670

How bad are those gonna hurt me? For comparison, I'm running Rage currently with some chugging, but not unplayable amounts.

Get it on PC or don't get it. There has never been a Bethesda game worth getting on consoles.

Getting an Elder Scrolls game on console is worse than putting the milk before the cereals, only scum of the Earth do it.

Speaking of PC, can specs degrade? My dad's computer was awesome when we bought it. It could supposedly run Crysis at recommend specs. Now it can't run anything. I tried playing Oblivion on there the other day. The thing just kept chugging along, like every 2 seconds it would freeze for a moment.

I went all the way down to Very Low so everything looked like ass, but the thing was still chugging. How could it have gotten so bad?

A number of reasons:

1 - Viruses and spyware are bogging down your CPU
2 - Too many useless programs are set to run at start up, bogging down your CPU
3 - Corrupted RAM
etc

Power supply can degrade and take the entire system down with it. Or several other things could've happened.

Defragging your hard drive might help. Also there's probably a lot more stuff running in the background, whether malware or legit stuff, much of which you probably didn't realize you had installed, eating up resources. Having very little free hard drive space can also give you performance problems, since memory can't be swapped.

Definitely PC, but I would not buy the game day 1. Hell, I wouldn't buy the game year 1. It's a Besthesda game. They're unplayable until there's hundreds of patches and performance mods so the game doesn't crash every 15 minutes. Console versions are not safe either. My perfectly healthy Xbox 360 ran every single game without crashes and freezes. Two hours of Fallout 3? 4 crashes and RRoD.

My PC can play it, but I'm getting it for 360 since I'd rather not have to bother with all the issues that come with PC gaming. Constant crashes, errors, etc aren't fun. Plus, big screen is better than my PC monitor.
