Could you play SE V without the use of a key board? I ask this because with the improvements that we are now seeing in consoles such as the X-Box 360, PS3, and Wii, a game such as SE V, dumbed down a bit, might just be feasible... ?

The console developers control what can be put on their consoles. And the most complicated TBS I've seen on one is Advanced Wars. Not a good sign.

Ironically, consoles are turning more and more into regular computers, soon the only difference will be that they use the TV as opposed to a computer screen.

I've yet to have a good experience with a PC-game-gone-console, though. In all cases I can remember it has degraded the PC experience immensly. Especially concerning UI/Controls, since the developers are usually too lazy to develop seperate systems for both platforms.

Oh, and the *Real* Cyrodil is a jungle! Why can't they keep to their own canon?

And removing the levitation spell? That's like removing flying from the superman movies. No thanks, I'll stick with Daggerfall, and a Space Empires that doesn't go into the console market.

The problem is the cross platforming. They make a game for PC then "attempt" to bring it to a console, and vice versa. It just doesn't work.
