Oh yeah, it also has its own Nexus.

I know some may look at this with disdain because you have to use mods and patches to make it enjoyable; and I would say you really don't... it will just be blurry and require you to use a controller. Well you also have to use mods to make any Bethesda game's UI not ing horrible in terms of size, except Morrowind. So I leave it at that.
I'm having a blast with Dark Souls (apparently, I've played 40 hours in the last two weeks and 72 hours total!), but I cannot recommend it due to it being such a shoddy port. I know the From Software told the PC crowd that it would be crappy since they have no experience with PCs, but that's not a good excuse. Also, it uses Games for Windows Live. I literally spent a couple of hours before even being able to play the game trying to set up an account and linking it, etc.
