Corakus Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Simple question:Do you like the UI and the HUD?If yes, then what about it do you like?If no or maybe, then what do you think could have been done to improve it?I vote maybe, I like most things about it but I find myself wishing I could toggle that compass off.

ub3rman123 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I like the self-hiding UI, but it might get irritating. I like how glossy it looks, but I hate the Fallout 3-esque font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InuyashaFE Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I like what little I've seen, except the Perk trees, which I think are a little overly large. I like how they modified the text when scrolling through items, that's a VAST improvement over Oblivion, where you could only view 3 or 4 items at a time. And the idea of seeing the items in the UI is very nice, I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltreU Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I'll have to experience the menu a little more to form a solid opinion on it, but I think the HUD is wonderful. I guess the option to remove the compass would nice. When I saw the Fallout style discovery alerts, I actually got a little excited. It always made me feel awesome when a new discovery alert popped up. It'd be cool if they had a font option (like many of the UI mods out there).

ITOS Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I like how glossy it looks, but I hate the Fallout 3-esque font. Funny, it's the glossiness that I'm somewhat against. It looks nice but it just doesn't give me the right feel. We'll see how it plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I kind of dislike the healthbars that decrease from both sides. It makes it harder to gauge and really only is a healthbar that takes up twice as much space as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodinfested Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I have to use it a bit too to see how the new UI flows in game but from what I seen so far its pretty intuitive UI. They might of coped a few things from apple but even if you like apple or not it’s a great interface that allows you to display and shift through data quick. I don’t mind the health stam magica disappearing off the hud if your at 100% there is really no need to look at it. I like to see more on the buffs and debuffs what they look like and how they are displayed on the UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corakus Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 I've been watching clips of the demo on my PC, and I just realized that toggling off the compass wouldn't be possible since the cooldown for shouts is displayed on the compass. :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InuyashaFE Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 What's wrong with the compass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corakus Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Nothing's wrong with it, it's just that everything else fades so if we could have the compass to toggle off then outside of combat the only thing that would be present is the crosshair, meaning you would be able to view the environments without having anything getting in the way.This is why they have fade on the status bars and also why they removed the weapon and spell icons.HUD elements that are there when you don't need them are just kind of distracting but you still need to have feedback or else you wouldn't know what's going on.
