Bethesda warns fans that Fallout 4 and Skyrim will be getting new updates

Typically, the announcement of a new video game update is met with excitement, as fans look forward to whatever new content / fixes are in store. When it comes to Bethesda though, updates are far less celebrated due to the fact that they often break mods and can even lead to new issues. In service of giving fans a heads-up, BGS has announced that both Fallout 4 and Skyrim will be receiving updates this year.

I love the keyboard, steelseries involved? wow never would have expected that. nice move from MSI. £1,499 is a great price considering. Why drop the backlighting for UK however? second class citizens as usual?

Lets not forget its £300 less than the ASUS too. Unless asus bring their new range prices down this year. I love the look of this, and im not botthered about a bit of noise.

The MSI GT780DXR-446US laptop has enough juice to kick BF3 up to ultra and power out native resolution of 1080p just beautifully without a stutter. Which is primarily what I wanted it to be able to do in terms of benchmarking (along with hopefully carry through the next 3 years of game releases). Bottom line, it is a monster of a mobile machine.. And I say this without even slight hesitation.
