Skyrim on sale Bestbuy, worth $35? HOW big of a leap of this if i have ps3...version

for those holding out its a good deal, u guys should look forward to it.


i plan on getting it, but i have the ps3 version,

 

The biggest leap...Mods.

Most of the time, The TE:S Thread here talks about mods they use.

Also, Performance. I don't know if they fixed this yet, but Skyrim stutters horrendously the further you progress.

 

try the 64fps stutter remover mod

 

Is that for PS3? I wasn't talking about PC, if I misunderstood.

 

Bethesda did improve performance on the PS3 since before the patch it relied heavily on the HDD for cache.
But consoles will still underperform in Skyrim when compared to newish PCs.

Regardless of any performance issues stemming from the PS3's very limited RAM and graphic memory -

Regardless of the obvious benefit of being able to play the game in 1080p on a PC with AA, AF, high quality shadows, etc. -

The main reason to get Skyrim on PC is because there are thousands of free mods available, including already many thousands of hours of brand new quest content created by some talented mod authors, and many different ways to completely customize and enhance your gameplay experience.

And the really good mods have not even been released yet, because it takes six months to a year to produce a massive mod with lots of voice acting, etc. For example, the teams who did Andoran and Nehrim are hard at work on some enormous total conversion mods that will each provide 60-100 hours of new content.

 

where to get the mods? and do i just download them and put them in a specific place?

and what are some mods to play..

 

The easiest way to do it is to start browsing through Steam workshop, find some mods you like, subscribe and then the next time you launch Skyrim it will download the latest versions of those mods automatically.

As for suggestions, it really depends on what you like and what you are looking for.

Personally, the mods I've enjoyed the most are

Live Another Life
Frostfall
Moonpath to Elseweyr
Imp's More Complex Needs
Deadly Dragons
Real Wildlife
Throwing Weapons
Deployable Traps
Radiance
Apocalypse Spell Package
Empowered Magic
Master the Time and Space

 

The mods are an excellent reason to play on the PC. That and I'm not very good at using controllers for complex game play. That said, the PC version has some obvious hallmarks of a quick console conversion, especially with the controls for inventory and containers.

Regarding mods, I almost exclusively use ones that improve the graphics and immersion of the game plus a few convenience mods (Bandoliers ftw). I generally avoid anything that truly effects core game play unless I'm playing through a second time.
