There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.

Goddamn, that sounds cool.

I dunno if "don't care because it doesn't make the game less fun" would count as a free pass, because that's where I and I think a lot of people stand. If the game is fun and I can come back to it in a year and install 150 mods to make it even more fun, I'm good.

I personally find that it does in fact make the game less fun,but not enough to make me not want to play it. Bethesda is a company, not my friend. I might buy a car because it does 90% of what I want it to, but still get pissed off at how they've designed the interior, or the quality of the components of the engine. A game is pretty similar. Their open world titles get most (not 90%, I would say 70%) of the way there, but it's really frustrating to see them never improve in key areas by which I judge the quality of games.

Bethesda games are great at exploration, but the fact that they can't seem to write competent stories is incredibly frustrating. These games would be a lot better with good stories, and other companies like Obsidian and CDPR actually do open world stories well. It's annoying to see low quality graphics. The graphics aren't going to stop me from getting the game or enjoying it at some level, but I definitely would enjoy it if they weren't so sludgey and low res. I play a lot of other stuff, some of it's even open world stuff, so obviously I'm going to make a comparison to the great companion AI in Phantom Pain when I see how comically bad the companion AI is in a Bethesda title. Especially so when they make the companions a key selling point of the game.

Saying, "that's just the way it is," might be true, but it doesn't make me think any better of them as a developer, or make me not want to critique their games.

This is what I'm using now:

3.2 Ghz dual core
16Gb Ram
GTX750 w/2Gb ram
Win 7.

It was suggested I get a 970 but those cards need a power supply connection, and the power supply I have had no usable connectors. Glad I checked it beforehand.

Yeah I was just looking over that. The power supply has a spare 6-pin and 2 spare 8-pin, which are red.

I don't know anything about doing this poo poo myself, so...is it ok to connect a card directly to those just with the proper cables? They don't need any conversion poo poo do they? I am hardware dumb.

Their dead eyes really let you know that the people working on this game actually gave a poo poo about what they were working on. There is a unified field theory of fun that Bethesda subscribes to that they have quite literally hit out of the park.

Seriously tho most of the faces are horrifying and this is the game that's supposed to be better than the Witcher 3.

Go post in the SHSC pc parts building thread.

But yeah you put the card into the SATA lane, and then put both the cables in (from the VGA section of your PSU).

Anyways all y'all's gpus will probably play the game fine, minimum specs tend to be over-inflated anyways. I mean, you won't be able to max it out unless you have a 970 or something, but eh, not the end of the world.
