Dialog selection UI is horrible for PC users

Post » Thu May 10, 2012 5:22 pm

First off, amazing game! You know, if I were to start a thread about everything I do like about skyrim this forum would be flooded by me, but I only really post about complaints usually.

PC UI for selecting conversation responses, or selling/buying, both use that scrolling bullet selector thing, and clicking on the response works sometimes, sometimes doesn't.

I've found myself having to save much more often than I normally do because I frequently F up the conversation because of the console interface.

IMO this shouldn't even wait for a user mod to fix this, this is really really bad interface problem for PC users and needs an official patch fix. Everything else is great so far! :)

Yeah it's really annoying. It mostly annoys me when i try to sell or buy stuff. Selling and buying wrong items is not funny :(

Yeah, I don't like it either. Sometimes it seems like I can click on the response I want, even if it isn't highlighted. Other times I click on the one I want and it picks another option I didn't want. I guess part of the problem is us "headache" causing PC users who refuse to wrap our brains around treating our PC versions of the game like console versions.

It feels like Bethesda at the last minute said "Don't forget that PC users love to use their mouse thingies," and then gave that part of the programming to the new guy.
