I like the UI a lot, but I agree the map is irritating as hell. WHY ARE THERE CLOUDS ON IT A MAP SHOULD NOT HAVE OBFUSCATIONS SURELY THAT DEFEEATS THE POINT OF A MAP FFFFFUUUUUUUUUU KJNMKERGIBFWDJLIERFR EW RFWED

Sicarius · 12-16-2011, 09:10 PM

I find the giant mountain to be more obstructive than the clouds that block out the borders to the other areas of Tamriel.

ScottyB724 · 12-16-2011, 09:45 PM

For me being a console guy, the UI main menu is a ....ing god-send compared to other games. The skill menu perks angling thing is only a slight annoyance personally, not too bad once you get used to it. But I definitely see how it would be shitty on a PC, but you guys got mods.. so yea.

Grand Moff Tim · 12-16-2011, 09:46 PM

I just want to see the roads on the map. That's all I ask for. I'm lame enough that I LIKE following the roads instead of just making a beeline for my destination. It makes me feel more like I'm part of the world.

Michael T · 12-16-2011, 09:57 PM

Screw a bunch of Skyrim. Got 182hrs into it and now my game is freezing up every 5 minutes. Completely unplayable. Hope they patch this soon, I've tried everything I've found online and nothing helps !!!

Oh well, still love the game.

Grand Moff Tim · 12-16-2011, 09:59 PM

Playing it on PS3, are you?

Michael T · 12-16-2011, 10:43 PM

Nope Xbox 360

Grand Moff Tim · 12-16-2011, 10:54 PM

Huh. I hadn't heard about any lag/freeze problems on the 360. Glad I have it on PC, I guess

Tomo009 · 12-16-2011, 11:09 PM

I absolutely hate the UI, not to say TES has ever had a good UI, but it's so clunky and just not very computer friendly. On PC, the mouse controls are incredibly unresponsive meaning you sort of have to use the arrow keys, which is very awkward and sort of time consuming compared to just clicking what you want. Not sure why the mouse controls are so bad or why they wouldn't just allow you to point an click instead of having to scroll through every option first.

Pretty minor complaint about the game really but it seems to be what is being discussed haha.

AxeHappy · 12-16-2011, 11:29 PM

I haven't had any trouble using my mouse. I just find it a poorly laid out pile of shit. Should take 7 ....ing clicks to get to what took 1 (1 ....ING CLICK!!!!) in Morrowind.

Grand Moff Tim · 12-17-2011, 12:10 AM

An annoying thing regarding clicks is that with almost every instance that you have a choice of dropping/selling 5 or more items, you have the option of choosing how many you drop/sell, but for smithing? NOPE. You want to craft 20 daggers? DO THAT SHIT ONE-BY-ONE, BITCH! Shit's un-....in'-necessary.

The Reverend · 12-17-2011, 12:39 AM

I really didn't have an issue getting used to the UI. The only problem I've had is that when you try to sell lots of things on a console version, it takes forever to get where you want, whereas I'm assuming on PC you can just click in the middle or something.

Not sure what you mean here, but the whole UI is the same, shopping is one of the worst aspects.

So is pointing and clicking actually working for others? For me, I have to mouse over what is selected by default then slowly mouse to the next in line and repeat until I'm where I want. It doesn't recognize just mousing over the option I want and clicking, it will click the default option, so annoying. Arrows end up being much easier but it's kind of odd I have to do that.

I mean that when you have a lot of items, say a thousand Ancient Nord Arrows, and you try to sell them, you have to hold down a thumbstick and watch it scroll through the numbers. I'm assuming that if a PC player was doing that, you could just click in the middle and sell 500 instead of a thousand.

Not to mention the constant 'are you sure menus' so you have to do everything twice. I mean you have to select an items, enchantment, and soul gem. Then press are and get "are you sure" ....

AxeHappy · 12-17-2011, 08:26 AM

That drives me crazy! Every time it comes up I try and click, "E," as in every other game ever made the default use button answers yes to shit on the PC.

But NO!!!! YOU HAVE TO MOUSE OVER THAT SHIT IN SKYRIM!!!!!

vampiregenocide · 12-17-2011, 02:56 PM

Okay my character is now badass as .....

I'm going through all the Daedric artefact missions, and have about 6 or 7 now. My character currently has ebony mail, Clavicus Vile's mask and the rest is regular upgraded Daedric armour. Looks epic.

I do have an issue with my wife Aela though. Every time I come home, she comes at me with a knife and brings the dialogue box up. She isn't hostile, just in an attack stance. She won't let me escape and keeps bringing the box up, so I have to quickly dodge her. When I try to wait or fast travel, it says I can't travel when guards are pursuing me, but Aela is the only one following me. It's a pain.

At level 47 atm,quite proud but a guy I know is level 81! I don't understand how's its possible?

Grand Moff Tim · 12-17-2011, 09:49 PM

Just used the Populate Spellbook console command, and MAN there are alot of spells. Blizzard is pretty hilarious, I have to admit. I can't wait to use it on a room full of baddies.

AxeHappy · 12-17-2011, 10:47 PM

Installed a bunch of crafting mods yesterday and they're pretty awesome. I highly recommend them:

Lost Art of The Blacksmith
More Craftables
Legendary Smithing Upgrades
Dragonbone Weapons
Craftable Staves
Craftable Soulstones

Grand Moff Tim · 12-18-2011, 02:51 AM

Go ahead, Alduin. .... with Calls-Down-Lightning. I DARE you.

stevo1 · 12-18-2011, 07:31 AM

They need dragon weapons or something, I can't keep making Daedra weapons, because daedra hearts are hard to come by for me. Or I wish bethesda would fix some of the respawn problems so the dremoras at the temple of Mehrunes Dagon would respawn.
