        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?

          1 TB was standard when I was shopping for gaming laptops last year. Frankly it’s more than enough for most people and in line with the consoles.

      and the Shattered Space Story Expansion (when it becomes available).

      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.
