so.. I've stopped playing.. because...

I have pretty sensetive eyes like many others have here.. after 30-50min of playing i get motionsickness because of the FoV not staying at 90 like i've ordered it to.. the console command works for a brief time, but can sometimes give me graphic issues..

Im just bored with the game in general.. I played Oblivion on a 360 constantly for about a year, the PC version of Skyrim was such a huge dissapointment with the bad UI, bad optimizing and totally consoleported crap. The game felt so dumbed down, it was aimed towards children around the age of 12-15.
I would not be mad if this game had been released for PC 1 month later, just to give us a better port

I regret buying this game. fair enough, i got it from g2play for only 20euro.
for future game, i would really appreciate a real journal that actually tells you want you need to do, not some magical GPS that pops up and tells you were to go.

This is just my opinion but: this game was the worst ported game I have ever seen in my entire life. I know i cannot get my money back, but im defenetly not goin to buy a new bethesda game on release, im goin to wait 1-2 months and observe the forums if the game is good enough to purchase.

You just lost a loyal fan! I hope a FoV fix will be in the new patch.. I may consider to start play the game again!

Then make the change in the INI file. Console commands are not permanent, most are only effective during that gaming session. Once you leave the game, the value in the ini is loaded, not what you put in the console the last time you played.

Ive googled this as well.. but sometimes it just resets and i have to type it in once again, its like my .ini file got a life of its own.

Did you use "Verify Game Cache" through Steam? If so, you INI file will get replaced with the default one and you'll lose any changes previously made.

I used to be a bored gamer like you, until I took a mod to my Data folder.

Now that that's out of the way... I share many of your criticisms, and I would have stopped playing myself by now if it wasn't for the awesome mod community. [censored] UI? Fixed. Broken Dual-Wielding hotkey setup? Fixed. Poor performance? Fixed. Heck, I even made playing a pure mage worth it with mods that change my Destruction tree, and another that makes spells scale with level. You have the PC version, so you can pretty much change every complaint you've currently listed here... and the construction kit isn't even out yet. Things will be even better when it comes out.

FoV: This can be tricky. Lots of people report that just the standard fedfaultfov in the Skyrimprefs.ini doesn't work, apparently you as well. This was taken from a thread on the Steam forums for Skyrim. Give it a try.
  • Go to C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\My Games\Skyrim
  • Open SkyrimPrefs.ini, and search for [General] section
  • Add fdefaultfov=XX at the end of the section. (where XX is the FOV value you want to change to). For example add fdefaultfov=90
  • Open Skyrim.ini, and search for [Display] section
  • Add fDefaultWorldFOV=XX (where XX is the FOV value you put in fdefaultfov)
  • Add fDefault1stPersonFOV=xx.0000 (where XX is the FOV value you put in fdefaultfov)

UI: Download SkyUI from Skyrim Nexus. You want an interface that's better for PC? There you go. I also like to use IPHud to make the HUD smaller and more compact, and Catagorized Favorites Menu for a much better favorites menu.

Optimization: If your GPU is the limiting factor, than this might not do any good for you, but if it's your CPU get the latest version of Skyboost. Amazing performance increases in CPU limited areas. I'm running an almost constant 60FPS outside, 50+ when near a town, and even 40+ in some serious bad areas like Markarth. Amazing performance? No, but much better than without Skyboost.

Whether or not you want to go through the trouble of installing, and tweaking all this stuff to your liking, is your choice. I agree much of this Bethesda should have done before the game's release, obviously they didn't, but the mods necessary to get it feeling more like a PC game are available. From my own experience, once you get some of Bethesda's biggest failures out of the way, you can really appreciate what they did do right, which is make one of the most content rich games I've ever played.
