Which do you think would give a better gaming experince for the upcoming Elder Scrolls: Skyrim? PC, or PS3?

I would like to get everyones opinion on what gaming platform would the the better gaming experience for the upcoming Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Between the choices of PS3, or PC. I will award the 10 points to whoever gives the best reasoning for their opinion. Including any technical knowledge, and personal preference. This is just a poll of sorts. I will leave the question up for several days.Which do you think would give a better gaming experince for the upcoming Elder Scrolls: Skyrim? PC, or PS3?
PC. Better graphics. Availability of mods. Probably a command console.



PC all the way.



And since Skyrim is a single player game, u don't have any of the problems of switching players. And besides they make auto switchers for those type of games.



And also another thing....hook your LCD TV up to your computer, get a wireless mouse and keyboard, and play Skyrim on the larger screen. U will be totally amazed. I compared Oblivion from the PC on the big screen with Oblivion from the PS3 on the big screen (both through the HDMI ports) and the PC just blew away the PS3. The framerate was higher too.
The PC will be the best version- Bethesda have actually said this themselves!

Reasons:

Higher framerate- consoles can expect it locked at 30- PC gamers get the most out of their expensive kit, with 60 fps and more.



Higher Res textures, anti aliasing and other graphical features are pc only. Once again- Bethesda said this themselves



Mods: The PC version will have thousands of user created mods etc, with the free creation tools- whole new games can be got with this, it extends the life of the game immeasurably, there are rumors of some mods coming to consoles- but they won't experiance any where near as many as pc gamers- nor will they be able to fine tune the game exactly how they want it.

Mods also include un-official patches, Bethesda games are always very buggy- pc gamers get allot of these fixed long before console gamers.



The console- by this I mean the PC console, the cheat menu basically, it's not just for that though- if your character gets glitched, or a main story NPC is killed or glitched, breaking the game- you can fix that, can't do that on consoles.



Finally; the controls- mouse and keyboard are far more precise and versatile than any gamepad.Which do you think would give a better gaming experince for the upcoming Elder Scrolls: Skyrim? PC, or PS3?
As with all Bethesda games the PC is the better option.



Obviously gameplay and graphics wise it will be the same on all platforms but I like to think about the modding possibilities as I am sure they will released modding tools like with every other game they make. Your game doesn't have to end when the game does as you can play user generated mods which expand or improve the game, you can also go about creating your own.
Anything Bethesda go on PC. Just a better experience and it plays better and, I don't know if it will be on Skyrim, but usually Elder Scrolls games get mods for PC and some are really fun to use. PC all the way for Elder Scrolls games.Which do you think would give a better gaming experince for the upcoming Elder Scrolls: Skyrim? PC, or PS3?
pc is best
Do you intend to play with friends? then go with ps3, much more comfortable to swap the controller than switch seats for the keyboard.

Playing alone? PC's will always offer better graphics unless you really gotta drop your settings down to minimal because you have all the features of DirectX being put to use. Looking at the system requirements you probably want a quad-core (doesn't have to be 3 GHz, thats a pretty insane requirement. probably around 2 GHz), and with a 512MB recommended requirement for graphics that should run pretty smoothly. At least its not a rockstar ported game where the graphics card needs to be a gig 'cause they really **** their ports up. I presume you have at least 3 gigs of RAM cause thats pretty standard.

Also for playing alone (or i guess with friends) the keyboard/mouse combination is so much more efficient for managing your shortcuts and menus. Though you could get a Splitfish and that might suffice as far as having a mouse is concerned for your needs.

The game is really all about the mods, so at the end of the day PC is where its at.

That's the benefits/disadvantages I see of playing on the PC, but as far as i'm concerned, unless its a fighting game it's always better on the PC (or a 3rd person action/adventure like Assassin's Creed and even then I just play with a Xbox 360 controller on my PC).
