Out of Pod Experience

The Controls are -terrible. Everything i hated about Oblivion seems to have been made into a feature and worsened.

To equip a simple weapon requires you to fumble back and forth between keyboard and mouse controls. You cant simply equip an item using only the keyboard or only mouse, its a combination of keypresses on both which seem almost random. Opening the Items menu even, for example, requires you to press Tab and then hit Right 2x. Obviously developed for Consoles and spent 10 minutes porting the controls to PC.

even for the most basic things such as the main menu. You hit tab and then you cant even click on the menu options. Its like a radial menu but you cant use a mouse and you need to press 3 keys to select anything from it. Dont worry though, they have you using your mouse again for the next selection, and then right back to keyboard for the following. Theres simply no way to do any one thing entirely on the keyboard or mouse, you're forced to do a balancing act with your keyboard AND mouse in order to do ANYTHING

The NPC scripting in from the 1990's. They move like NPC's from a Pokemon game. very mechanical, scripted. 10+ npc's all begin their movement at the EXACT same moment, and the animation looks very abrupt and inorganic. Especily noted in the opening scenes, where you'd think they would spend the most time trying to make a good impression. Instead, you're introduced to a world where everyone moves in perfect choreography. NPC's will move straight, come to a complete stop. Make a Turn, and then continue on their path, instead of 'arcing' or even simply just running from point to point.

Im glad i only wasted bandwidth on this game, and not any real money.

Delete.

You can click on the main Compass-looking menu? When you hit tab you're able to click on the 'Items' portion? Because i have several friends who own the legitimate game from steam and have all confirmed the flakey PC controls

One of the MAIN reasons I am against piracy.

People will not only admit that they have pirated the game (Against US law BTW in case you forgot) but actually review a PIRATED COPY!

This kind of crap has led to games perishing due to leaked or damaged pirated versions causing some review sites to trash it. Giving the company a bad rep and loss of sales from even people who would have bought the game.

This isn't a forum for you to spew your crap and your entitlement to use pirated software. Leave

I think the controls in the game are indeed very consoly and the UI needs a mod to be made PC friendly, but your complaints about the controls is still full of ****. Either your game doesn't work at all or you don't know how to play the game. Either way I've not experienced any of your issues.

Pirated version or not theres no denyin the UI is designed for console use and it was a straight lazy copy.


Dont agree, try mappin weapons to hotkeys..........oh wait.......you cant. Once again its down to modding community to fix the lazy PC port.


And lol at people being mad at OP for piratin a game to test it, and found he hated it. I'm sure he'd feel much better if he'd spent 50quid only to realize he hated it

The UI in practice is identical to what FFXI had. Clunky when you start, incredibly easy to use despite its failings once you get the hang of it.

You can map weapons to hotkeys. favorite the weapon or spell, press Q, hover over the weapon or spell and press any number 1 through 8. Additionally, press I to directly access the inventory, bypassing the radial menu.

Skyrim is an incredible game. 92 Hours in the game so far, will probably break 120 by Monday, and enjoying every second of it. Now it's not a perfect game, but the small imperfections are perfectly forgivable, especially when compared to the abortion that was Oblivion.

Skyrim GOTY 2011.

Plug in your 360 controller, fixed.

Weeeiird. Maybe I'm the one with the buggy version 0_o



But that's like playing it on console.. eeewwwww.

I pirate most games before I buy.

I do not buy most games I pirate.

I tend to hate most games I buy at full price.

I did not play Morrowind

I did not enjoy Oblivion



THAT BEING SAID.




I Pre-Ordered Skyrim

I had 84 hours played the first week.

I have 100 hours played as of now.

It was worth every goddamn penny.

Skyrim has hot keys, I suggest you use them. Makes swapping weapons as easy as pressing 1 or 2. :)
