Quick saves have destoyed many games.
Takes away from the challenge. The qs system gets overused and it´s in a way a form of cheating.

If you have a monster PC like I have the ofc the gfx are better.
Usually you get better LOD, draw distance, textures etc.
Not to say the 360 version is bad, because it isn't. |
Whats LOD? Better textures? I don't believe it until I see it.
So far all of the xbox 360 ports/multiplatforms I've played on PC didn't have any graphical advantage whatsoever over the xbox 360 version, the difference is minimal and is only in AA and resolution.

Never said I sucked using them, I just prefer the PC controls, thus PC controls for me are better. Can't be that hard to understand?

LOD=Level of Detail (How fast the engine scales down objects complexity/textures at a distance)
Since the 360 has alot less memory (512Mb) than a good PC (1Gb vram/4Gb system ram) it has to stream everything in a smart way from the DVD which means cutting some corners.
Some developers take advantage of the huge amounts of ram and vram high end PC's have which results in higher rez textures etc.
But each to ones own.

It also makes dev's lazy.
Hense in a lot of PC ports you find they have memory leaks. With the 360's RAM, they can actually take advantage of it a lot better than they can with a PC with the same kind of memory, as the RAM on the 360 is built into the motherboard, meaning it has a much higher bandwidth. This means they can empty it and fill it up again ALOT faster than on a PC.
The problem is the DVD drive. It's slow to read data (for todays standards) meaning that if the textures were too detailed, they'd take forever to stream into RAM. It's not held back by the RAM, it's the drive.
They really should have gone for a HD-DVD drive straight out of the box. It doesn't matter if it failed in the media war, they still would have used it in the games.

What I can't understand is the economy, I mean at the start they can buy a weeks worth of food for two of them for a week. Yet I make 10k in gold in a few mins doing blacksmithing.
Doesn't seem well thought out in my opinion.
Still, it's a great game.

Well no.
360 memory bandwidth is 22.4GB/s to the system memory which is used for textures.
It's very high to the edram but that is only used for AA.
source: http://www.thexug.com/content/view/2222/191/
On the PC my video card the 4780 1Gb has 107Gb/s bandwidth to the vram which is used for textures.
So my video card has more than 4 times the bandwidth compared to the 360.
On the other hand the system memory in my PC (ddr2 1066Mhz) has 8.5Gb/s so if you have a video card with a small amount of memory your claim is valid.

Please list all the demon doors / silver chests & silver key locations you come across btw., these buggers are very hard to find later if you first don't have enough keys / can't fulfill the demon door requirements.
Already forgot the earlier places I've seen em, but there's a silver key and a 15 key chest at Rookridge Inn.

It receives the update for co-op when you start it up so guessing its retail
Anyone being bad first time round , done that in fable 1 so Gonna be a good guy this time round then replay as a cunt . Don't like the fact shops don't have individual items on the shelfs . Was a great way to make money in the first game
