If the worst thing you can say about Skyrim is that it breaks in entertaining ways...

Worst thing I can say about Skyrim is I couldn't shout the Jarl's kid to death when she wouldn't stop bitching about sweetrolls.

Uh, the worst thing i can say about it is that the main storyline is pretty weak, to the point that i avoid it not only because the game instills exploration-based ADD, but because i actually don't want to do it.

I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

the worst thing i can say about it is that it is a bad game with a bad interface that i have a bad time playing, but double fisting magic is making me keep wanting to play it

i guess i'll probably keep picking at this scab a little just to make sure it is really actually a festering wound

The game does appear to have an interface that manages to to suck on both Keyboard+Mouse AND ps3/360 controllers.

Which is a goddamn feat.

Rico · « **Reply #66 on:** November 13, 2011, 02:50:16 PM »

you say keyboard+mouse like you can use the mouse.

Malikial · « **Reply #67 on:** November 13, 2011, 03:01:04 PM »

I don't see how the interface is bad...

Norondor · « **Reply #68 on:** November 13, 2011, 04:38:28 PM »

uh, could be better.

i think the interface is mostly pretty slick, and i play keyboard+mouse. my only serious complaint is that confirmation windows require you to hit y/n instead of enter/tab like everything else, and when i say "serious complaint" i mean "serious fucking complaint."

Rico · « **Reply #69 on:** November 13, 2011, 05:16:31 PM »

Mouse use in menus is inconsistent and mostly doesn't work. Esc won't cancel out of regular menus. Visual prompts are hardcoded. If you have a 360 controller plugged in the game hard defaults to it (and the option isn't in the Controls menu, and you can't change it at all pre-starting-your-first game)...

And this is just off the top of my head at the bus stop.

i did run into the controller thing, i forgot that. i didn't know there was a problem with the mouse in menus! i have been playing with keyboard almost entirely, because i am an FFXI player. what do you mean "visual prompts?"

Rico · « **Reply #71 on:** November 13, 2011, 05:33:31 PM »

Press E to do this!

(This is a really common problem but I have no idea why)

Norondor · « **Reply #72 on:** November 13, 2011, 05:45:07 PM »

oh, the graphic doesn't change if you rebind it? EXPLAINS WHY I ALSO DID NOT NOTICE THAT

ok so there are a couple serious interface problems

I keep hearing this complaint, over and over again, so I suspect it'll be a matter of days before someone modfixes it.

I discovered that it actually does have hotkeys, though. Highlight an item in the quick menu and press a number key.

Norondor · « **Reply #75 on:** November 13, 2011, 06:53:31 PM »

...!

bill i could kiss you with my germy mouth.

patito · « **Reply #76 on:** November 13, 2011, 06:56:54 PM »

you can only hotkey from the favorites menu, not from the items menu, that is a bit annoying. But still, great find.

Rico · « **Reply #77 on:** November 13, 2011, 09:27:14 PM »

Speaking of hotkeys, inventory, and the favorites menu:
If you have a spell double-equipped to L and R, the only way at all to remove that spell entirely (say, to place another double-equipped spell) is to equip a physical item in one of the hands. Otherwise the original spell will always stay in one hand.

NOPE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE INTERFACE TO THIS GAME

Malikial · « **Reply #78 on:** November 13, 2011, 10:08:50 PM »

This has never happened to my spellcaster...

Rico · « **Reply #79 on:** November 13, 2011, 10:11:55 PM »

Having looked into it, it appears to be a known bug and not an oversight in UI design, but that is still pretty fucking massive, given how much emphasis is placed on double-equipping spells.
