Hell, Oblivion's awkward interface was bad enough, but at least it allowed you to see almost everything at a glance. Jim Rossignol summed up most of the issues I have with the game's usability issues over at Rock Paper Shotgun: And boy oh boy, so many balls were dropped. The good news for PC players is that a full suite of modding tools is on the way, and the community will take care of all the balls that were dropped by the original development teams. This might be a contender for game of the year, but it's also a clunky mess once you begin to level up your character, manage your inventory, or use your map. Soon, however, the game's terrible menus and user interface began to sour the experience, and I found myself tempted to put the game back on the shelf for a month or so until these issues can be fixed. I was impressed by the graphics and attention to detail when I played Elder Scrolls: Skyrim on the PC, and the first few hours I spent with the game flew by.
