User Interface In Elder Scrolls Games

Post » Mon Jan 06, 2014 9:04 am

It's a shame really that game like Elder Scrolls have the worst user interface ever. Especially after Skyrim. I am talking about scrolling down lists of your items in your chests, bags and non existent character interface.

For me this kills immersion in fantasy games such Elder Scrolls is. There is no sense of owning an item in these games.

It's like you press a button and futuristic black screen pops up with list of names that feels like you alt tabbed on desktop to visit ebay on the internet.

There is feeling of huge disconnection in game because of this, like you are playing two different games.

There is no character interface where you can see armor on your hero, there is again list of items on black screen where you press on it to equip it.

Why can't we have traditional UI where you can see all items at once in your bags, chests and character interface where you can fill spaces for each item?

Little things like this makes you more connected to the game and hero you are playing.

I understand ESO will have slot based inventory, not the style the single player ES games have.

But was this thread about ESO? Or just the single player games?

well as I said ESO isn't a weight based inventory, it's slo based, so you'll press either I (inventory) or B (bag) and they'll open so you can see everything you have in your inventory.

For the single player games, there are mods you can download which change the UI

So basically this has nothing to to with ESO. Why is this thread here then?

All the other Elder Scrolls games were made by Bethesda, and were single player.

This game is set in the Elder Scrolls world and is made by Zenimax. It is multiplayer. The interface is probably not going to be the same.

Not to mention the Zenimax devs have already said the UI is moddable, so chances are good you'll be able to find a set-up you can work with.
