Does anyone know if Elder Scrolls Online is going to have ridiculously complex graphics so that most video cards overheat running it? I noticed that this is the new trend in gaming and am wondering if Bethesda is going to follow suit. For those who don't know about this, the sign of a modern video game is the video card fan spinning at full blast. I have an NVidia GeForce 450 silent card, yet still the rest of the fans in my computer go crazy spinning to cool things down. I remember the days when there used to be the occasional elegant video game which decided that instead of decimating the envelope of polygon technology, to work from within what is possible on a computer. Basically a game which prized performance over bleeding edge. I think this kind of thing is extinct now, because developers know gamers would prefer to hear a full blast video card fan than a quality video game soundtrack. Julian -- Walk
