I'm glad to see this is not a forum where people are spazzing over the 6 GB size. It's like I can't evade the stupidity!
Recommended PC Specs:
Operating System: Win XP/7
CPU: Quad-Core CPU
Memory: 4GB RAM,
6GB Hard Drive Space
Video Card: DirectX9 video card with 1GB Memory
(GTX 260/Radeon 4890 or higher)
Overall, the map is about the same size as Oblivion so I would be mad if it was higher, the lower the better, and the game looks good enough for what I've seen. Still, those 6GB will become 25GB in the end with DLC and mods anyway.
Oh yes the mods will at least double it up within a year after launch! Hopefully it doesnt need an unofficial patch as bad as Oblivion did...
I thought that the game would be much larger, to be honest. I was expecting 12 gigs.I can't really see why people should get angry about the game size(In harddrive space). Honestly, what is 6GB when you can buy 1TB for under 70$.

I think the paranoia is quite justified.But you got that wrong, most people, believe it or not, are angry because they think the game takes "too little", and that is because of the console port paranoia and all that BS.
I get angry because my gaming partition in my 1TB drive, and thats my Steam partition, has only 30 free GBs left.

I was talking to someone about game sizes last night, and he brought up a good point.
Part of the reason that Fallout:NV was so big was because of the LOD system in that game. It required tons of high quality LOD files to be made for every object, just like Oblivion. It looks like Skyrim renders in closer textures in a different, more gradual way. It must use texture streaming or something to avoid the super obvious pop in seen in other games.
