Amazing. You guys din't even bother to take a stab at doing a PC UI did you? Only your beancounters know how much you'll make off the PC version of this game - an ungodly amount no doubt - and you couldn't even assign a few measly people to do a proper PC UI? Particularly in this economy where people need the work? Particularly in this economy when money is tight and people dropping coin expect good value for their dollars? Or did you guys just figure you could do this on the cheap as usual and let the PC "community" take up the slack for free? Come on, gamesas. You were made by PC gamers and there's still tons more than consoles - which are really nothing more than crappy 6 year old PCs at this point anyway. Strive to do better. Strive to treat your paying customers better.

Have to agree. Beautiful game, but the UI is braindead. It's not just that it reeks of console, but as a general UI it is incomprehensible and counterintuitive. Why?

I will adapt and slog through it, but omg. Why? (shakes head)

WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH PC ELITIST WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Rported, I'm getting tired of these responses when someone critizes the game, you guys need to mature a little.

i agree that the UI is pretty bad, but not due to "consolification", but rather just poor UI design


and for the record, while i play on pc, i've tried both 360 controller and mouse, and found mouse to be easier than gampad for the UI....so....weird

I have heard 30 solutions too this problem tonight but yet these topics still keep popping up how about you come up with a thread too fix huh sound like a good idea.

Yeah, the UI svcks for PC. This concern and the call for a proper PC UI was brought up many times with lengthy discussions over the past year, why didn't Bethesda listen? It seems they are barely willing to lift a finger when it comes to the PC versions of their games.

Oblivion had the same atrocious lay-out, which Dark UI neatly fixed for me. Also, I am tired of these "PC Elitist WAAH" comments, I intend to play this on the console but I can already see how problemetic the UI will be for a keyboard and mouse.

AAAAAAAaaaaaactually, console sales are doubled over PC. AAAAAaaaaaaaaand the game was ported from xbox.


BTW, it's not the actual complaint that I don't respect. It's the manner in which you did complain that I could care less for. That DESERVES the criticism.
And yes, there is a tone of PC elitism in this OP and honestly it over-shadows the complaint itself. Others have shown the proper respect to the issue and to WHOM they're complaining to. Sad really...

Yeah, the UI is annoying, but I still think it's better than the Oblivion UI.

EXACTLY how i felt................. report ME bah!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, albeit, he does have an underlying point. The notion of this "consolisation" or whatever seemingly has a bad connotation, as if anything based on console has less worth.

So crushed. The PC version is horrendous. The graphics are muddy even on ultra. The game itself feels slow and clunky. The UI. Don't get me started on that interface. The new world map is terrible. Dear god what has happened.

Bethesda really took me for a ride. I guess this totally explains the complete lack of PC information and videos. They kept silent for a reason.

Really disappointed. I'll try and play. It is Elder Scrolls after all. But it might be time to get an Xbox and join the masses.

HOHO someone gets it you sir get a cookie.

Folks, the game JUST came out. Yeah, throughout the process, they've gotten rid of all sorts of issues- but there are STILL going to be issues. GIve it time, and give them a chance to fix it before you get your 'defeatist attitudes' running high.

Plug in a X360 controller. The menus make much more intuitive sense to me with a controller.

OMG!!!!!!!!!! A solution LOOK AT THAT!

I think I've got my key bindings set to a happy place now. I usually reset to arrow keys for movement and surrounding keys for other actions. I noticed that "Character Menu" default set to "O" also controls closing chests and corpses so bound it to Delete right next to End for activate. That seems to have simplified looting for me greatly rather than reaching for the O key. Weird that 1-9 on numpad can't be bound though. I diasabled bAllowGamepad in the ini but it didn't seem to do much for the num keys.

The Mouse movement in the UI I found a bit too fast so edited the fMouseHeadingSensitivity=0.0140 down to 0.01 & 0.08 and disabled bMouseAcceleration by setting it =0 but not quite sure where the happy place for me is quite yet. UI navigation seems a bit unweildy atm but I think I'll become used to it in time. Strange that the mouse click works in some places but not in others though.

Just gotta get through the learning curve perhaps and all will be well again with the universe.

Well, seriously.

I'm not kidding, I just started posting here since this week - and had not posted since 2006, generally - and the fundamental 'ho hum' negative attitude I am seeing here is rather annoying. Yes you can criticize a game, but when I see a game that is just released, with all, if not most, reviews set in the high 90%, and yet come here and see the majority of threads based upon PC gamers whining about all similiar elements, that is just a result of a certain poor demographic audience.

Well, this thread is a bit of a mess, isn't it?
