PC: Horrendous controls/interface, so bad it inhibits combat. Boring story/characters. Morrowind is still way better.

This is not designed for the PC. This is not a progression of Morrowind.

Morrowind was great on the PC, and it was even great on the original XBox. Oblivion had some neat features and some improvements and some things that were lacking from the older Morrowind, and it was the first time that the controls and interface started to suffer on the PC but overall it wasn't too bad, and it was mostly the map/inventory screen resolution and interface that was terrible compared to Morrowind. But Oblivion was playable and had stuff to offer, and it wasn't too hard to overlook the botched console interface while playing on the PC.

Enter Skyrim... The interface is basically un-usable. I would quite frankly rather be playing Morrowind + some mods than suffering through this non-sense/lame joke/prank of a game. The original team that made Morrowind must be long since quit/retired.

If you have a sword and fire assigned, and you want to cast a healing spell, you have to dig through a favorites menu with several clicks to replace either your sword or fire with healing, then exit the favorites menu, then cast healing while backpedaling from your enemies, and then go back into the favorites, and re-equip. There are no quick-sets, no decent hotkey system, and the two handed gameplay really doesn't add anything the way they did it. It's a joke, and not a particularly funny one.

The intro to the game is boring, it feels rushed/forced/linear and one can easily care less about the characters or the overly stiff world right from the very beginning.

The scale and proportion of the world feels a bit off as well. Everything feels skewed and monotonous, but that is the least of this games problems.

The leveling/RPG system feels clunky and botched. The core of this game is so bad that it's not worth even going farther into detail about. I'm laughing at the review sites at this point. How many crap games are they going to give 8's and 9's before no one cares what the reviews say at all anymore? Or are we already there?
