Only thing holding me back from pre order is PC performance and just performance in general. Imo Bethesda games on PC don't play well. So I have been holding out hope reviews before release can tell me. PC ports have been terrible this year :)
It's not going to be a port AFAIK. Bethesda always made games focusing on PC and modding, and with a decent performance.
Let's not pretend that just because Bethesda started out as a PC developer that it means the games run well. I still can't get a stable frame rate on Fallout 4 in all areas, shit I still can't get a stable frame rate in Oblivion due to the game's own optimization being a bottleneck. Their games are very moddable, but their huge amount of content and dynamic mechanics have clearly made it difficult to optimize.
Hopefully the game will run decently, but I doubt it'll be a totally seamless and smooth experience, though I'd love to be proven wrong.
Well, I said decent, and not good or amazing for a reason. Their games aren't the pinnacle of optimization, but also they are far from the shitty ports out there, specially given how massive their games usually are.
That said, I would never preorder a game. I'm confident that it will be good, but I will see that when it's released.
Bethesda is hamstringed by their game engine, that is just an engine whose roots stem all the way back to gamebryo
Still, I prefer "poor" (bethesda games don't not perform that poorly, really) performance with lots of system driven interactions and absolute modability like almost no other games out there than "good" performance.
