    So, the 'special surprise' that was trailed is, in fact, a Hi-Res Texture Pack. I can live with that! I'm looking forward to seeing Skyrim in the full texture resolution that it could have been in, if it had not been held back by the outdated technology of consoles

    From the release notes

    Experience The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as you’ve never seen it before with the Skyrim High-Resolution Texture Pack. Make sure your system requirements exceed Skyrim’s recommended specs before attempting to install, including Windows Vista or 7 operating system, a minimum of 4GB of system RAM and a DirectX 9.0c compatible NVIDIA or AMD ATI video card with at least 1 GB of RAM and the latest drivers.

    My specs exceed that, so I'll certainly be upgrading

    It's also recommending a quad core, so I guess that's something to consider.

    oh, and QQ my download speed is stuck at about 80 kb/s :(

    I'll wait until tomorrow morning, when the USA is asleep - it'll be crawling until then...

    Well, I guess we won't see the PC players for a while (as my head sinks low with jealousy.....)

    Just had a quick trawl on Bethesda forums and there' s already at least one mod uploaded made with the Creation Kit

    Emma, who made the totally awesome Vilja companion mod for Oblivion, has uploaded a modest house mod. More importantly, the fact that Emma is modding gives hope that we'll get a mod that does companions properly.

    The Hi-Res pack really does add something to the game.

    Also, I grabbed the Dovakhin Hideout mod. Recommended. It is great!!
