I must be the ONLY player that doesn't have a problem with t

Post » Wed May 09, 2012 1:00 pm

I love the game. But I'm having trouble with the PC interface, like many others;

Maybe it takes some re-mapping and getting used to. Anyway, would be grateful if somebodyy would help me with these things:

1. How can I have the same key (I usually use "Enter") for opening and closing containers (the OP says he has done just that) ?

2. You can move things from a chest to inventory with left-mouse. However, if you do it the other way round and try moving potions or food from inventory to a container, this results in eating or drinking these items! How can I use leftclick to move items to a conatainer (like in fallout or oblivion)

3. How can I re-map the keys from the submenu's (from within the inventory menu)? Like the keys you need to use to drop stuff, to add a weapon to favourites, ...) ?

1. E is by default the same as enter. If you remapped it, that's why it does not work currently.

2. I don't ever use the mouse in the menus, so I don't know. It's so much faster to use the keyboard.

3. Should be in regular key-bindings section. If not, I don't know.

When you load up a game for the first time and you click on New to start a new game and nothing happens and you don't have a problem with that then I don't know what to say.. what was the last PC game you can think of with options such as NEW, LOAD, ect you can't click?


Look, Skyrim is a freakin awesome game. I am loving it. But it's ok to call out a flaw when you see one.

Most players probably don't have much a problem with it. Instead of complaining on the forums they are having fun playing.

Clearly you have empirical evidence you are ready to just roll the world over with.

All is good with my interface and everything else too. Fan-freaking-tastic game.

You can navigate the entire interface using only your left hand, learn how to be more intuitive people.

Sure, you can do everything (sort of - the perk constellation navigation is iffy) with WASD. But why should you have to, when modern (and even old) computer UI's have both the mouse and keyboard to work with?


(in other words - yes, you can do alot of things with one hand tied behind your back. But most of them work better with both hands. :tongue:)

I guess you are as blind as the people that created skyrim.enough said.

Don't like the game? Get off it's forums.
Don't like it's creators? Get of their forums.


I totally agree with the first post. It's fine. I've had no problems, except Hotkeys, which I usually don't use but gave a try. They're a bit awkward.

I forgot that you not having issues carries more weight than the hundreds of posters in the PC Tech forums reporting major bugs that should have been caught on day 1 of testing.

I forgot that enjoying the game and not whining about every minute detail is grounds for being insulted and ridiculed by PC elitists who think the gaming world should cater to their spoiled, entitled desires.

You know... I don't even blame the developer for the problems I have. Mouse problems, UI problems, audio problems, and bugs...

I blame people like you who seem to think it's a perfectly acceptable standard. Thanks for making PC gaming just a little less enjoyable for people like me because you have poor standards, or because your blind fan-boy love for certain developers keeps you from allowing any criticism.

And before you be a jackarse and tell me to "play on consoles then", I still enjoy PC gaming much more than console gaming. Just so that's out of the way.

It's simple, OP. You have lower standards. I only wonder how low they'd go.

There. Problem between chair and keyboard as everyone keeps saying.

P.S. Were you get on Bethesda's Christmas card list by posting this?

Mature.

Geez I hate PC elitists.

I seriously don't have any issues with it. Granted, it's pretty "simple" and "boring", but it works and nothing technical jumps out at me.

1. Mouse works fine throughout the ENTIRE interface.
2. I can open and close chests using "E".
3. I can use the tab key fine and don't have to "push buttons all over my keyboard franticly" as one user put it.
4. The graphics are great.
5. The gameplay is great.
6. I play on High settings and no framerate issues. (I have an older pc)
7. I also didnt have problems installing the game, nor downloading it from Steam. Was done in 20 minutes total time.

I guess I must have received a golden copy of Skyrim.

Points 3-7 have nothing to do with the UI, just saying... :whistling:

Geez I hate PC elitists.
Some people just have higher standards than others, I'm sorry if that makes you feel bad.

I am sure the Bethesda developers would even agree with me. If they have any sense of pride in their work they would say "You know, we really wanted to improve mouse control and implement proper settings for things like FOV, we really wanted to make the UI more comfortable for PC users, but we just didn't have the money or the time so we unfortunately were not able to do that. We're not proud of it, but we hope you enjoy the product we've worked hard on all the same."

I can accept that, very well in fact. I'm enjoying the game despite these problems, I don't feel ripped off or angry. All that bugs me is the fan-boys trying to shut down any negative feedback because it hurts their little feelings. So take your "Mature" and direct it at the real immature people around here, have a nice day.

You dont want people to tell you to just play on console, but you're perfectly okay with insulting people who dont play on PC.

Class act, you are.

Where was I insulting people who play on console? Please, quote it.

The UI works on console because it's designed for console, you imbecile. I fully expect them to be happy with it unless Bethesda have screwed it up for them too.

1. That's what I mean. Remapping is problematic because it results in unwanted or unforseeable consequences (like losing the ability do drop items, as some experience);

2. Fair enough. But I'm addicted to the mouse.

3. Nope. AFAIK the sub-menu keys can't be remapped.

No the problem is that you have to insult people who dont have the same problems you have by saying we have low standards.

That is insulting. That is elitism.

You dont like something? Fine. But dont go around insulting people because they dont have the same problems you do.

Dude there are alot of us that arent having the mouse problems others are having. I have none. Everything is clickable just fine. The UI is a little boring yes, but it's not buggy like you are experiencing. I have no audio problems either. Stop trolling.

Well you were insulting in this post for one by calling me an imbecile.

And youve been insulting by saying that people who dont have issues with the game just have low standards, and then blaming console gamers for the developers new direction. that is incredibly insulting.

If someone goes out of their way to tell me there's nothing wrong with the interface, and they are entitled to their opinion, I will give them my opinion that they have a low standard. You called me immature, but you don't seem to be able to grasp the concept of people disagreeing with one another.

I had to go in to the .ini files to turn off mouse smoothing and increase sensitivity to 0.1000, that makes my mouse move just as fast as it does on my desktop and in every other game that I play (without having to edit them). I don't even use some tricked out insanely high DPI that "pro gamers" or something might use.

If you are happy with how the mouse works by default I am very happy for you, you're entitled to your opinion, but in my opinion you have low standards. That's not trolling, you just need to take negative opinions about a game much less personally.

What's ironic about this is while I was calling you an imbecile, I've not said anything on the level of what your second line said in this post. Not even close.

It's like you're not even reading what I am saying, just getting in to some sort of fan-boy rage. And you wonder why I call you an imbecile?

You can express your opinion without insulting people based on your perception of their standards. Someone disagreeing with you and giving you their opinion does not give you the right to insult them and proclaim that they have lower standards.

At this point I'm going to put it to you that if you think "you have lower standards" is that insulting, you need a thicker skin. The real world must be a terrifying place for you, assuming you have gotten there yet and aren't still a very young person.

And in this fantasy land where people never disagree, are people allowed to tell me I'm wrong when I make criticism of something? Something tells me they are!

Yeah except the only thing I've said that breaks those terms of service, and I fully admit that it was rude, was when I called him an imbecile. Nothing I have said besides that has been in any way trolling or trying to get on anyone's case, just simply posting my opinion that people happy with this interface on PC have low standards.

I don't call it trolling or start invoking the terms of use when someone says "it's fine just get over it and stop whining", and yes a lot of people are saying things like that when people have problems with the game. It's just their opinion. Some of you need a thicker skin and need to learn to discuss criticism of a game you enjoy without taking it personally.

Close for review.

Oh dear, having read a few posts, and as one with low standards - must be because I like the interface - I have a bit of work to do now, which makes me grumpy as I want to be playing the game. This is staying closed.
