It is that bad for those of us who played Morrowind, whose PC version had the interface made for mouse and keyboard.Rylee Fox said:I suppose you didn't totally read my OP. I do own skyrim and I agree the interface was built for a controller, which is why I use one. =P Is using a controller with your PC really that bad?
Sometime between Morrowind and Oblivion, the User Interface became worse.
There is such a thing as a usability factor; that is how much information an interface can clearly communicate and manipulate at once.
Businesses outside of video gaming have wrestled with that for years; there are still command line prompts in some working applications despite the advent of GUIs and mouse controls because they still serve practical functions (like in computer networking and routers).
More directly, ff that break in functionality doesn't bother you because you use a controller, fine, it doesn't bother you.
But it definitely bothers me because I know that could be fixed in a day or two if Bethesda put forth the effort.
