        2TB SSDs are going for as little as $60 right now. This isn’t much of a problem anymore.

        How many players interested in this game are rockin’ a single terabyte? What’s your best guess?

        p.s. You must realize that it’s actually 12.5%/13.9%, not 15%, right?

      What is this fuckery? Unplayable day-1 DLC pre-installed and taking up space on the user’s machine? Jesus christ bethesda

    Don’t pre order. You know what happens when you pre order? A big dick in your mouth, that’s right

      I absolutely agree; I’m preloading it because I just have it as a Game Pass benefit anyway. Could be I end up waiting 8 months for stability patches like everyone else.

    I never see the point in preloading as it’ll just have a huge patch to install on release anyway.

      I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game ship a day 1 patch that was the same size as the initial install.

    Sure as hell won’t be preloading a Bethesda game on PC. Based on the system requirements I expect performance to be ass for a while after release.

      It will be ass at first because it’s a new Bethesda game.

      That said, it is possible to get an early key without actually preordering (mine came with another purchase), so I’m excited to explore all them bugs on launch.
