Was anyone else not pleased with the aesthetics of the UI? : V

They seemed more modern or futuristic for a game like SKyrim. Hoping the UI looks more fitting like Morrowind and Oblivion's.

Excuse my lack of acronym smarts, but what's UI?

User Interface; such as the menus, the compass, and the health/MAgicka/stamina bars.

Actually, I think Skyrim has the best UI of any game I've ever played.Also,with SkyUI, I can make it look however I want.

the only problem I had with the UI was the difficulty of navigating it on the PC, besides that.... I dont see how its even remotely "modern" or "futuristic".

I also really liked the UI one of the best in my opinion.

Agreed on the PC part. (It's fine on consoles, but on PC, SkyUI was one of the first mods I installed.)

More "old-fashioned" fonts like in Morrowind are just hard to read.

Suits consoles, but i do miss the paper doll , archaic worn and torn maps etc...

Visually I like Oblivion's UI the best, because it fits very well into the game world and the medieval feeling.
Morrowind's is the easiest to navigate, I think.
Skyrim's UI is ok from a practical point of view, it looks allright, but feels wrong for the setting. However, I like that the crosshair is small and unintrusive.

i liked it but im on console so my argument is invalid.

I saw nothing particular wrong with it. It's not like Assassins Creed's UI that pretty much constantly reminds you that you're playing...technically...a sci fi conspiracy game rather than a historical stealth piece.

I like the UI, it's less cluttered and easier to navigate. (well on a console at least)

Guise, we are talking about the AESTHETIC aspect here. Ignore the usefullness of UI's functionality. :banana:

And yes, I personally do like the new minimalistic style. It looks so 'sleek' yet not inappropriately 'futuristic'.

The only thing that could've done better is the JOURNAL.

What I'd do for a Map HUD..

I don't even think about the aesthetics of it. It is basic and simple. There is nothing futuristic about it, other than the fact that it is a video game and we are all playing on a machine and have to press buttons to get it to appear on our screens.

I liked Oblivion's menu system, with your character visible and all menus packed in one spot, and that "paper" feel to it. Not a fan of Skyrim's UI.

» Sat Mar 30, 2013 10:09 pm

I miss Oblivion's.

» Sun Mar 31, 2013 2:02 am

I like it for navigating between my items, but I absolutely hate that the Dragonborn has access to Google Tamriel.

It would also be nice to see the player character in the UI when making clothing/armor changes, but that's a minor gripe.

This.
I have been using SkyUI for a year now (can't even remember what the UI used to be like, except I remember it was bad) but even SkyUI can't make it like Oblivion which was perfect.
