Absolutely about the forced part. Computers are powerful enough now that you could have the weather effects scale in complexity to match the different system specs, but as long as things like visibility were always equal across all settings, it would be fine.
I haven't been 100% in the loop, but beyond seeing some awesome clouds in some of these recent screen shots, I don't believe we've heard much more about weather. I'm cool with getting it sometime down the road, but it would certainly add some interesting variety to battles.
