I'll try to post screens later if folks havent gotten the game.

Honestly the only real problem I have with the graphics is when youre outside looking into the distance. The textures on objects that arent in your "cell" (the area the game loads that you're running around in) - look like shit. Which isnt suprising isnce if they loaded everything, the game would run at 5FPS.

When youre in the city or in forests and not having to look at the shitty mountains in the distance - the game looks great.

I'm going to upgrade anyway, because its bullshit that you cant get the quality seen in the Coming Soon video's unless you have an XBOX360.

A german review dude ran the game with a 9800. . .it looked ok at 1024-760 (or whatever that resolution is). Thats what I run the game at and it looks great and runs better. Its not going to wow you with particle effects and shit - but it doesnt jerk you out of the experience.

I cant wait to get home and play some more (even though right now I'm tired as all hell).

I would say the main thing with this game is the video card - some cards listed on the retail box have been removed from the "supported card" FAQ on the official website - meaning some people are shit outta luck running series 5 nVidia FX cards. That and system memory. But the card overall. So I'll be inveesting in a 6800GT for upgrade. I'd get a 7600 if I felt I REALLY needed it.

Overall though - expect this game to get patches bleeding out the ass.

Still the game kicks ass. As for the looting - I havent actually DONE any looting, as most houses are shut tighter than mormon chicks legs, and there are fucking guards - EVERYWHERE. Right now Im thinking about just killing one of the shop propieters that has goods I want, and simply paying the fine - or going to jail, and then returning and looting her items (although I THINK the game is now setup to where after three days, items like that simply go poof. . .which would SUCK).
