I picked up a new desktop computer last week with the underlying hopes that it'll be good enough for both Skyrim and Diablo III. This thing certainly runs Oblivion faster than it does on the Xbox 360, so I take that as a good sign.
Transitioning from the Xbox to the computer put into glaring relief just how much the game was tailored for the gaming consoles rather than PCs. Controls that took a split-second to choose on a console's gamepad now takes a second or two of mouse movement. Lockpicking on an Xbox is a two-handed affair that makes things easier (left pushes the pin, the right hand locks it in place), but with the PC it's all done via the mouse (essentially you're picking a lock with one hand tied behind your back).
Bethesda better hit that "console control" curve hard with Skyrim and tailor the PC controls into something far more comprehensive, thus bringing it to par with the console 6@m3rZ.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
