Are there any screens of Inventory or general UI? : V

» Sat Sep 04, 2010 8:39 pm

One of the most obvious side affects of Oblivion being a console port was the gigantic and completely non-customizable UI. You didn't even get a 'next' button for cycling the mere 8 Hotkeys, forcing you to switch movement controls to the middle of the keyboard so you could actually reach 1-8. That said, are there any screenshots or other info regarding the UI? If I can use a traditional grid-based Inventory, or at least have multiple items in a single row, my hopes for Skyrim will go up exponentially.

This is your skill board.

I admit it, the page 3 screen of your skills is pretty awesome

But that doesn't tell us anything about the UI or other character-management pages (like the Inventory)

Yeah, I really disliked that too. As for info on the UI, the only thing we've really seen is the 'look at the stars' skills menu. I've heard nothing about hotkeys or customizability, but I think/hope e3 might shed some light on that subject.

Yeah, all we've seen is the constellation skill screen.

That screenshot actually worries me. I have an entire screen and is that seriously all I'm going to see on it at once? I really hope not...

svck. Btw, 'biscuits' is also my favorite Sheogorath quote

Then we're going to have to wait for another information release and hope for UI shots, 'cause that's all there is at the moment. Well that, and The Todd's cringeworthy quote about what a game UI designed by Apple would look like. And that quote makes me wake up in the middle of the night soaked in sweat and screaming...

Remember that it's being designed for people 7 feet away from the screen.

Don't worry, I'm sure we'll get something similar to the BTMod.

I use Darnified UI. But if they pull something like FO3 again, then there will be little that can be done to improve it.

Btw. one writer of "Pelit" magazine who was testing skyrims demo few weeks back said: "UI is surprisingly stylish and smooth".

This. Looking forward to seeing the entire thing personally.

When he said that it was the first time a game made me laugh out loud.

Imagine Jyggalag: "I AM THE DAEDRIC PRINCE OF BISCUITS!!!! FEAR THE KNIGHTS AND PRIESTS OF BISCUITS!!!!!!"

Same here. At least with DarNified, everything looked alot better than in vanilla. If the UI svcks again as bad as it has in previous games, I would hope that DarN would do something to help make it more bearable...but considering how long it's been since he's been around, I'm beginning to have my doubts of his return. I hope I'm wrong though.

These are the same kind of people from Gamespy who said that 10 Races and 18 Skills is 'amazing' :facepalm:

You can't really put this into a list as you need to see the perk tree too..

Actually they write in that magazine that you can only be nord... Later he said that Todd told him that. :unsure2: I hope that's just misunderstanding.

What's wrong with 10 races? I seen a lot of complaining, but that's one thing I haven't seen anyone have a problem with.

Map please

Admittedly 10 Races is decent, I wanted to quote the whole text.

Edit;

Map please

Also this.

yeah from the looks of the constellations screen it doesnt look like they've taken a particularly utilitarian aproach to the UI, I guess it could look that awesome and be functional, we'll just have to wait and see

IGN said Skyrim has the "sixiest" UI they've ever seen.

"sixy" and "stylish" are rarely functional and practical.
