Im genuinely interested on how the crafting UI is gona be o.O
Ive only ever smithed in one game and thats runescape way back in the day.
Say what you will about runescape, the crafting menus are PERFECT! Im hopeing skyrim crafting UI isnt just a list, its a menu window

The list system in Fallout NV was just plain confusing. It almost most felt like there was to much to craft.

Anways, what do you feel about skyrim new UI in general?

Well I don't really like the look of the hud, with the big texts and stuff in middlescreen, I would have opted for a morrowind like stamina/health/mana bar placement, and the compass on the bottom instead of the top. How is done now, make me feel beign inside a mech.

i liked how enemy health was also on the enemy, not at the top of the screen. im thinking that could get confusing

I wouldn't mind if it was like a mix of Morrowinds inventory menu and Skyrims inventory menu. So you can view an item you want to create.

I vaguely remember you can have little variations depending on the items you using to craft. I could be remembering incorrectly, I do that by the way. But if Im remembering correctly you could have a few drop-down boxes with the different parts that make the item you want. So you can what the outcome is when you swap items around.

Like I said I could be remember incorrectly or my idea could be a truckload of horse manure anyway, I think I exhausted my good ideas yesterday...

I have a feeling the ui for the crafting is going to be simmilar to fallout just a list and short description.

i would like to have it like where you have a list of names on what you can craft. when you select it you see a picture of how it looks with the stats next to it and then under that the materials you need and already have. So if you need 5 iron ore and you have 2, it will say "2/5 iron ore"
