I do love Morrowind, but I have to admit that navigating the UI was a bit like trying to find your way home after a particularly 'sociable' night out.

It's not perfect, but I preferred it to sorting through lists. Compared to Skyrim/Ob, I liked seeing everything I had in my inventory in front of me. I didn't have to scroll to the bottom of a list to find anything, it was all just there. Like I said, it should have been improved and made more versatile/robust and more responsive. Instead...well, we ended up with Skyrim's UI.... :l
I thought Skyrim's UI was perfectly fine. I don't need them to cram as much information onto the screen as they can for it to pass as a good UI, I just don't want to have trouble finding anything, or go through keyboard/mouse gymnastics in order to do anything. Morrowind's UI had really poorly organized inventory and magic menus, unnecessary click-and-drop controls, and a map that was uninformative even by Bethesda map standards.
I won't deny that Bethesda designs their UIs with consoles in mind, but I also can't say that their UIs have gotten worse since the shift to consoles; I've at least got to applaud them for style, and I don't think it gets in the way of actual functionality. I just take solace in the fact that we'll never see a UI like Daggerfall's (or the original Fallouts) again. Ye gods.
Never had this problem .. must be windows 8 related
I agree with you about SKyrim's UI, I actually found it very intuitive. Looking at the way the dialogue system seems to work in FO4, I think that we will have something evolved from this. And we've already seen examples of full 3D models being incorporated into the crafting segments of gameplay.
Memory shouldn't be an issue, Xbox One and PS4 are 10 times stronger then their predecessors. Only thing I'm concerned about from a tech standpoint is the Xbox One version, since it's slightly weaker then the PS4 version.
