Damn it all!
So it downloads right, after days of watching a little stupid blue bar crawling along the bottom of the Steam window. I'm quite happy. My new computer is quite good. 1 tb hard drive, decent graphics card, quad core processor, the specs are pretty good. I'm looking forward to the experience I'm about to have.
Then, NO! It takes half a goddamn hour to load the new game and when it does it's lagging HORRIBLY. And it doesn't even look any good. The shadows are messed up, the lighting's godawful and, despite the fact it took me almost an hour to create a chracter in the creation screen, I finally get to start escaping whatever that town is at the beginning before I realise that fire is just a slightly bright ambience effect. No flames, just a sort of warm light.
I'm really, really disapointed.
So I'm going to buy an Alienware, but chances are the Gatehouse tech curse will strike again and it'll be armadillo too.
I hate computers. I'm also sticking with TW and M&B. New games can go die in a hole.
PS. Oh and my new computer can't run Oblivion without turning all the graphics as far down as possible. Of course once that's done, I get motion sickness far too easily and it looks like crap. And I get weird white lights shining out of several people's mouths. And the character's arrows turn white too. I'm so confused.
To top it all off, this new computer of mine won't pick up that Exilian has a shoutbox. For no reason at all as far as I can tell.
