Re: Should I get this for pc or xbox 360
If nothing for better graphics, PC has mods. That alone closes the deal.
PC is the way.

Re: Out of all of the Sixteen Daedra Lords
This is true. If you ask me, Azura has kind of a manly voice at her shrine in TES4. I guess you could say that she went from a man to a woman....

And Kaelan, thanks on that one ...
