Well, before I started the game I was thinking about all the complaints I've heard and specially the interface. First off, to my delight I could set the game to Ultra settings and I was amazed how smooth the game ran. I don't recall the last time I had played a butter smooth game with no POP UPS!! That's a big plus for Bethesda right there. I've heard some say Skyrim reminded them of Morrowind. Well, that's true. There are actually some details in the game that almost feel intentionally done to remind us of Morrowind. For example the moon at night; that really sums up MW for me. Lanterns that are very similar to Morrowind and the eerie barren landscape that echoes tremendously like MW. Now, the dreaded interface that many have proclaimed useless is actually for the most part, true. For me, it was not a matter of fonts, color, transparency,etc., it was more of a matter of not being intuitive across the board. During the char-gen the controls stopped responding and it was doing this repeatedly which was so frustrating. This is without a doubt a bug that will surely be fix in the first patch. Anyways, so far everything looks much, much better than Oblivion and even though they have gotten rid off many things that we are use to, this doesn't take away the overall beauty of the game.

In life, if we stop and look at things under a microscope we'll never be satisfied and we'll miss the whole picture. If we look at everything as a whole we can all be a happier bunch and, did you actually think you were buying not only a perfect game but a perfect game that you personally hatched in the bowels of your mind?

Nope, I knew from the get-go there'd be bugs. Anyone who didn't probably has a permanent residence on Fantasy Island. As for the UI I got used to using the WASD keys to navigate menus pretty fast. Not sure why others don't possess the same adaptability, but oh well.

Y'mean they freeze up for a few seconds and then start working again? Cause I play on the 360 and it does this to me occasionally when I open a menu. These days theres no such thing as a bug-free game. Fortunately for me I come from the generation where games were so unforgiving that having to backtrack a little is no great shakes. Trying to clock the whole Sonic 1 game with all emeralds and screwing up the last chance of getting the final emerald and knowing you had to start the WHOLE GAME again...

Dayam.

Yes, the controls is a matter of getting used to and I can undoubtedly adapt to it as well as the other pc players but if they make a interface mod, I'll be first in line.

Exactly, you got it.

Oh me too. I've heard the guy that made Darnified UI for Oblivion is already working on one.

Autosave freezes the game menus occaisionally, otherwise my game is butter smooth.

This is what make Bethesda great. They give us the privilege to use the tools to modified the game. Some people forget that.

Yep. Some folks just like to occupy their time with complaining ad nauseum. Oh well, modders to the rescue!
