If its something that affects the entire experience why is it nitpicking?

We were promised a PC friendly UI.

Its like promising someone a Harley custom made for you, and instead getting a generic razor scooter.

*high five for anologies.

World design, physics, quests, sound, these are all made by completely separate teams, so there is no excuse for whoever designed the mechanics to have dropped the ball so far.

i started to write a response, but then i figured a troll wasn't worth my time

quit nitpicking

I'm not sure how a game that took six years of development....

No it's like requesting a Harley custom and the instrument panel isn't quite how you wanted it. I'll grant you the UI issues have some valid points; it doesn't make the game go from amazing to horrible though. Plus...once the construction kit is out I guarantee you'll see a dozen UI mods in a couple weeks.

This is even remotely a troll post.

Reported.

This sort of thing is poison in the community, and I can't wait for the usual release culture to die down.

Changing how the UI looks is one thing. I'm not sure how possible it even is to change how it works. At the very least it would require a spectacular amount of work and very likely a third-party installment like SKSE.

Also, what's the point in staves as a caster, besides saving a little bit of mana? They take up a valuable dual-casting position. The lack of a second sheathe really bothers me as well.

Appearantly just the money as most of the game stocked filled with problems not including the bugs.

I've seen more problems with the other side of it. So many "this little feature isn't 100% exactly like I personally think it should be therefore this game is the worst thing ever made" posts. Honestly I gotta stop coming here this place just makes me depressed the level of vitriol and nerd-rage about mostly tiny nitpicks. Yes bugs are valid issues, the UI isn't the greatest...but people are looking at a forest and complaining over a few trees.

Some people are being excessively harsh in their complaints about the game, but you aren't acting much better by deriding people with complaints and relentlessly trying to negate anything bad someone has to say about the game.
It isn't even an issue of a person not having a valid complaint and you trying to prove it; you keep basically just telling people their issues aren't that bad and demanding they be quiet about it.
Issues are issues, and they don't get fixed if people just ignore them.

because the priority was the game world? which admittedly is pretty damn good. even if its a tad console limited.

the combat ..meh. they couldve borrowed a bit from mount and blade as far as horse archery and mounted combat goes - also the spear and javelin (cmon mount and blade is made by a handful of people literally). maybe they could borrow a pinch from dead island as far as thown weapons and limb cutting and kicking minus the arcadey stuff.

i like the skyrim finishing moves even if they are a bit wonky. someone will mod it eventually and maybe ill start a new character then. i just got my sword to 80% damage and have the head chopping perk. its made the combat a bit more interesting withOUT the sword PARRY from oblivion
