I'm trying to be positive and think that translates to 'The ui won't be overly complex and horrible' but I think it's a little bit of a kick in the teeth to the original fans of the series perhaps.
The term 'get away from stats' makes me a little uneasy.

Isn't that just what 99% of devs say anyways?
Anyway, hopefully this doesn't mean "the PC version will be a shit port". Cause that would suck.

People act like this will make the game worse for PCs. It's not like Bethesda hasn't developed for PCs before and you will get a shitty port. This just means UI won't be overly complex and easier to access with a controller and such. It's not like there aren't modding tools for the PC version or anything.
As long as any damage they do to the final product by this evisceration can be modded out, I'll be fine.
PC gamers will get all the cool mods, so ultimately they'll end up with the better game.
Let's just hope it runs great on all platforms.

Well... Good? I see how this would suck for PC gamers, but I'll be getting Skyrim on XBox anyway.
As I posted in another thread. Did you guys totally miss Oblivion? Look at the interface. The lock picking game. Making pots... everything about it.
It was made for console. Does that mean the PC version sucked?
Me thinks you guys are getting a bit worked up over nothing.

Cue more blind console bashing and praise for Bioware.
OT: If by "more accessible" they mean "the UI won't try to bite your right arm off" I see no issue.
Given the attitude of the people in the News Room comments section you would think there wasn't a single mod developed since 2005.MiracleOfSound said:

Is it really? I mean does it really matter which platform is the MAIN one, so long as it's still coming out on the platform you wanted to play it on? Seriously why is stuff like this always taken as a personal betrayal? All it means is that Bethesda wants as many people to be able to enjoy the game as possible, which can only be a good thing, so make it with consoles in mind first because it's just so much easier to then adapt it to PC's than it is to adapt a PC game for consoles.xXxJessicaxXx said:
The environments still look great. The gameplay still looks great. If the majority of fans are dissatisfied with the game when they play it then I will concede that this was a bad idea, but until then, see it not as a 'kick in the teeth', just a sensible business decision which will probably produce a better game overall; as developing for consoles forces them to make things like interfaces less needlessly complicated, which is the one thing that always gets complained about when it comes to hardcore RPG's.
The majority of PC gamers I have spoken to hated the way that Oblivion had been dumbed down for consoles in comparison to morrowind, and now we've been told that skyrim will be dumbed down again. I don't think it's fair to say people are getting "worked up over nothing".danintexas said:
I'm going to be torn apart for this, but am I the only one who doesn't care if it's on a console? I'm really starting to get annoyed by the smug sense of superiority that a lot of pc gamers get, like if you use a console like everybody else has been for the last thirty years, you're an inbred retard who doesn't deserve to have fun. I understand it if they're dumbing some of it down for a more casual market, but come on. At least now I'll be able to buy it. It comes out on the console, and Bethesda makes a lot more money. It doesn't come out on console, and the pc gamers get to feel like they're in a special little club, while Bethesda doesn't make quite a hefty profit. Let the company make its money, but stop whining about everything not being built for pcs.
