Agreed. I vividly remember the Morrowind release, when everyone's top-of-the-line machines came screeching to a halt.

I'm looking forward to it as much as the next guy, but Bethesda's track record of programming *optimization* is not the best. They push the envelope, but don't necessarily take the most efficient path to get there.

I think this will be one of the most challenging games to run when it first comes out. Once a few patches/driver updates come out, it should run better, but I don't think it will run very well at max resolution. I plan on waiting a bit before I pick it up--maybe until the inevitable expansion comes out.

I still have Morrowind to finish, so that makes the decision easier too.

My $0.02.

That's how I was feeling... going to wait on a review at least.
