    This isn’t surprising. Todd Howard already stated that given the choice between fidelity or framerate they would choose fidelity every time. It’s disappointing that he thinks that’s still what people want in 2023, but it’s not surprising.

      At least give a performance/fidelity toggle like many games. Especially with how similar the Xbox architecture is to Windows, I’ve always wondered why devs can’t use some of the same tools to give console players more graphical options.

        I don’t think I’ve played a native/ported PS5 game yet that didn’t have a toggle. This is an odd choice for sure.

      That’s absolutely what I want in 2023. Anything over 30fps is completely unnecessary.

        I find 30 FPS strictly bearable with a controller, unplayable on mouse and keyboard

          Yeah 30 to 60 is a big difference. Past 60 things definitely start looking real samey though.

        I wouldn’t say that’s accurate at all. Especially since providing more options to players is never a bad thing, letting them pick performance vs quality.

      This helps the game be better on PC and later consoles. I’m down for it, it’s a welcome decision. And yes, I’m still salty they mixed levitation in Oblivion because of consoles.
