There had to be someone who tested this.
You begin character creation ->
"Oh, lets see how this looks like when I turn my head around... no... I don't like this... lets change it and see how it looks..."
You can't change it. Your menu just stopped working. Neither mouse nor keyboard input does anything.
You actually have to change the category to be able to make any changes again - and you have to do this EVERY TIME you want to look at your character from any other angle than the front.
I haven't even started playing for 1 second and I'm already [censored] annoyed. That's a very good sign.
Ok, we get the character creation done somehow...
"Oh, that's weird, the X movement of my mouse is a lot faster than my Y movement - lets check mouse acceleration in the Option menu. Nope, it's turned off."
I still really haven't started playing and there is already a second thing thing that makes me feel off.
-> Fast forward, play through the initial run through town and get to pick up my first piece of equipment.
"Let me equip this sword... wait... doesn't work. My mouse is hovering over this thing and it won't equip. Wait, WHAT? I have to SELECT it first and only THEN am I able to equip it?! Why doesn't it autoselect the item, when I'm hovering my mouse over it?! Oh well, screw this... I want to swing this axe around... WHAT?! I have equipped it in my LEFT HAND yet I have to click my RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON to swing it?! WHAT?! Yes, that totally makes sense. Because with Xbox controller obviously Left Trigger would use the right hand. No, it does not. Left Trigger for Left Hand, Right Trigger for Right Hand. Should be the same for the mouse. But it's not. Nevermind. let me change it in the option menu. Ok, now it works fine."
-> You kill the first 2 dudes and since you are a badass warrior, you want to equip 2 weapons. To the inventory we go.
"Okay, lets click right mouse button, to equip this thing in my right ha... WAIT. WHAT?! If I click Right Mouse, it goes to my left hand! But when I use Right Mouse inGame, I swing my Right hand! AAARRRRGGGHHH! This doesn't even make any sense!"
Those are not even the first 10 minutes of gameplay and there are issues that a 10 year old would've found out right away. But any of the testers apparantly didn't.
Which makes me believe it wasn't even tested. At all.
And you know what a credible customer does when he finds out that he bought a faulty product that hasn't even been tested?
He returns it. And so will his friends.
And he will tell his RL, Facebook and G+ friends not to buy this game until this is fixed.
Not by some mod from a user, but with a patch.
Sorry Bethesda, but you managed to lose a bunch of customers just by ruining my first 10 minutes of the game experience.
