Well, I see no reason why you shouldn't. Though you should be aware that there is a memory leak that causes the file size to grow and grow, which eventually leads to framerate issues and crashing. But otherwise it is fine in my book.

i wouldnt at this point. there was a post that someone linked about one of the obsidian developers saying that it would take a major reworking of the game engine itself to fix the save game issue. it might get better when they fix the issue with ash piles and arrows, weapons not disappearing which should reduce save game bloat but bethesda doesnt fix jack squat in their games unless its right in your face. the unofficial oblivion patch fixed something akin to 3000 issues that bethesda ignored.

The answer, lad, is no.

what are the specs on your PC exactly? there was a mod for oblivion released early on called "oldblivion" that let people with below the recommended specs play oblivion. im assuming that will be the case for skyrim as well within a month or so. also even if you play with low or medium settings on a average PC its still going to look lightyears better than a console. there are also a couple of performance mods like the skyrim layered mod that increase peoples fps on older computers substantially by changing some stuff. bethesda was really sloppy on optimizing this for PCs.

Yes, but I recommend you to do as I am doing and upgrade to PC as soon as possible.

I didn't know they were similar questions.

Let me guess, you never even seen so much as a photograph of the PS3 version, have you?
