I got the game for PC, and let me tell you, it's so blatantly obvious how bethesda was completely waylayed into making this game biased towards the 360, and that's not a good thing.
First off, Bethesda has stated in previous interviews in gaming mags that the game you play on the 360 is exactly what youd play on the pc, and that is true, but the reason it's true is only because they held back the actual quality of graphics in the out of the box version of the PC. People have been finding many tweaks and such hidden within the games files that anyone can mess with in 2 minutes and have a MUCH better looking game compared to the 360 version.
Why did Beth do this? Obviously, marketing tactics. Microsoft payed them big bucks to screw over the millions of fans of previous Elder Scrolls titles on the PC to make the game very console-centric. Just goes to show money talks and loyalty and credibility walk.
The game's level system is also a joke, everything scales to your level. You can honestly stay level 1 and beat the entire game. It's very possible to "screw up" your character if you took some non combat-centric abilities for your majors, because what happens is, when you get 10 skillups in your major skills, you level up. Now if you for example picked a thief type class with acrobatics and security for majors and kept leveling up off of them, or even sneak, then your combat skills are being left behind. You may think that doesn't matter as a level is a level, but with the monster scaling, they don;t care what your ability levels are, they just care about your level. Been leveling up on sneak and acrobatics? You're screwed because your combat level is really say 5 levels behind.
This can be circumvented however by making your skills you'd usually take as majors as minors instead and do a bit of controlled leveling.
Thankfully there are many modders out there giving the pc versoin some much needed overhauls.
The game is still great nonetheless, but the level system and marketing ploys really piss me off.
