I need more than eight hotkeys, is this a joke? : V

Seriously, is this a joke? Only eight hotkeys? I hate pausing during combat, it ruins the heat of the moment. I need at least 15 hotkeys minimum.

Fix this by Thursday.

On Topic: ~~Have you tried using the favorite menu OP? I think I like it better than the hotkeys.~~

Edit: Ah.. You hate pausing huh? Well.. *shrugs* Mod it, hope for a patch, or simply get used to it?

Or what? You'll quit? Bethesda got your cash already right? You might want to start learning to manage your [censored] better.

The favorite menu pauses combat, hence destroying the heat of the moment i love so much.

I hate pausing.

what a joke. I have 2 hot keys and i do fine and hardly ever have to pause, what have you got against pausing anyway, if it disturbs you so much dont play. I dont understand what you're complaining about.
My hots keys are
1 Sword
2 Bow
done.

exactly.. if you have to use that many potions ALL THE TIME, then you really need to set the level slider as low as it will go, because something is wrong...

I expect a mod will fix this later on.

If I remember correctly didn't Oblivion only have 8 hot-keys too? Or was it 9?

I kind of like that even if there isn't enough hot-keys (they could've included 9 and 0 as well) you do get the benefit of the favorite menu where you can consolidate a lot more spells, potions, well anything you use a lot in battle.
Quicker than going to each sub menu all the time.

I'm all in for more hotkeys. I'm always switching between sword, bow, magic and shouts, and it gets really frustrating when I always have to bring up the favorite menu all the time. It's just all a big mess and completely unorganized. I feel like I'm looking through a trash can when I'm trying to find the right spell..

What are you complaining on? On xbox you get 2 hotkeys max.

LOL noob, adept difficulty much ?
Or trash can menu every few seconds in a battle?

I think that having 1-0 hot-keys is enough.
What pisses me of is that we can hot-key only items. >_>
I would really like them to fix that.
I know that they are proud of their favorites menu, but that thing is only useful to console players or in case there are few things left PC player couldn't hot-key.

only 8 hot keys.

how many buttons does an xbox controller have ?

» Sat Dec 10, 2011 3:11 am

Hotkeys, what are those?

» Fri Dec 09, 2011 8:52 pm

i agree this game needs more hotkeys
ive always hated this ever since i started playing bethesda games
was the 1st thing i noticed -"where are the customizable keys?"

limiting yourself to 8 when the keyboard has 50+ keys is stupid

obviously they do it because they only cater for console players

but i hope sum1 can make a mod which allows u to set any key to what eva u like

or atleast add another 8 keys or make shift 1-8 another set of hotkeys

they cater to console players because of all the piracy involved with PC games, and the fact that PC players can mod without much hassle whereas console players can't...
you can't really do much about that, so i'd just exercise some patience if I were you.. I really don't understand WHY you people need [censored] 30 buttons or whatever, but i'm happy with it the way it is, so i'm not going to judge I guess..

Regardless whether you play on console or PC, I think it'd be better for both platforms if Bethesda had made the favorite menu better. They could at least have placed the favorited items/magic into categories, and made a better overview/menu.

any word?

» Sat Dec 10, 2011 2:44 am

hello?

» Sat Dec 10, 2011 1:10 am

i dont have the PC version (yet); what the hell are 9,0,-,and = used for that means they cant be hotkeys?

if they really didnt include the standard 12 for no real reason... that is just inexcusable. there is a mod for oblivion giving you something in the range of 120 hotkeys, and they couldnt be bothered to give you the same freaking 12 keys used in countless PC games since the 90's?

someone please explain this to me...

» Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:10 am

Even Morrowind only had ~~eight~~ hotkeys. (Or nine actually. And the zero key was unchangeable from unequipping your weapon )
