I have the Xbox version, and I feel right at home playing it with the xbox's controller. I went over to my friend's house, and I played his Morrowind on his computer (he has the com and xbox versions, lucky) and I was so frustrated about how awkward it was! I was wondering if anyone has experienced PC vs Xbox problems like this?

Awkward? Like how? If you mean controls, I can understand. :ashamed: Besides that, I don't see how it is more awkward than the X-Box... (I have both X-Box and PC versions).

You should see how many of these threads we get on the official forums.
Anyway, PC is my preference because of the large amount of buttons/keys to assign spells and such too. |

Yes, I was reffering to the controls. I just like the feeling of holding the controller in your hand, and I found it very uncomfortable stretching my hands across the keyboard trying to reach all the buttons.
I remember that I was so uncoordinate with the controls that I wandered out to Pelagiad and got killed by a rat lol. -------------------- I'm just killing time

Well it is just a matter of getting used to the controls, I had trouble with the X-Box and the PC controls. It is hard to deside on which I like more though...

I don't have an Xbox anyway so it's a moot point, but I don't think console gaming suits slower paced RPGs like the Elder Scrolls as well as the PC does. You're going to need more than just the (insert number of keys on an Xbox controller) buttons you get on an Xbox controller to configure all of the games spells and abilities, plus I love my keyboard anyway. -------------------- Chumbaniya Has Spoken!

I like them, its a bit easier to do somethings, like alchemy. -------------------- The Sun and Moon transform day to night, but what transforms the mind?

I agree with Zelda_Zealot, Bethesda did a good job of transferring the controls to Xbox. I hope they do the same with Oblivion, but they should be able to.

It should work, after all they do have two more buttens. And I dont see how the controls could be much differant.

Oh, okay. Well, there is the way to cutomize the buttons to your liking. But, I get what you're saying.
But, I also like how the X-Box controller buttons feel so... comfy compared to the computer buttons. But, I feel more controlled with the PC... It's really hard to decide, really. In my opinion: Pro of X-Box : It's alot easier to take stuff out of your inventory!  And it's more easier to do stuff...
Con of X-Box and PC: Holding down/pressing the sneak button is sooooo annoying!
Con of PC: Too awkward and aiming for/at stuff is a bit difficult at times... Con of X-Box: Too few buttons (I need my quickie-hot-keys!) |

Well either the plugins dont have the nessecery master files, or they are made poorly and have an item with no inventory image for example. So check that, then ask again it I am wrong.

Yup. That's what you should expect from some mods. Or whenever you disable a mod after saving a data file that had that mod activated. Also, I get that annoying 'error masterfile' comment whenever I boot up Morrowind on the PC. (That's because I had installed Morrowind long before any of the expansion packs came out. I had a few mods BEFORE installing the expansion packs, that's why I'm getting those errors.) Oh. PC Pro: MODS! 
However, the more mods you add in... PC Con: Lots of crashing (and sometimes really, really slow loading time and/or frame stuttering)! 
X-Box Con: SLOW loading times |

The loading times for PC depend apon your computer, for me they are done in a second. However the X-Box is like a sloth. Sssssssssssssssllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww.
