    Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - PC

    • Getting the PC controls tolerable takes a lot of fiddling or mod installation ( Some people say it is just best to use an XBOX 360 controller for the PC
    • The controls are extremely clunky and the interfaces you interact with, like the inventory system, feel almost purpose-built for inconvenience
    • The controls are choppy and the story line is sometimes hard to follow
    • Sadly, the weird console navigation, clunky combat control, and overall console cheapness makes this game a fraction of what it could be.
    • I've played Bethesdas other Elder Scrolls games in years past and enjoyed them despite the awkward controls, but after several more years, I really expect more from an interface than this
    • I don't find the controls to be abnormal on the keyboard
    • The controls were so bad, though, that I never got very far in it
    • Swings of your sword just don't feel as satisfying as I'd like, and switching weapons during combat is hindered by some awkward controls, as well.
    • The controls in Skyrim are actually very smooth
    • Also, the controls are awful for your typical mouse and keyboard setup
    • The controls are also somewhat awkward, and I've yet to explore whether they can be remapped
    • The controls feel a bit clunky and/or alien to this PC user but it is not a game killer
    • Because this game has a radiant weather control, a blizzard can come out of nowhere making you , regardless of how warm a room you are in, want to find a blanket until you find sanctuary

    • Because game play is so dogged with control issues, lack of information, and the terrible
    • No matter how you turn it the controls and interface are just awful, PC RPG's perfected this stuff years ago and it could have been fairly easy to implement if Bethesda was commited to making a decent PC game
    • All the graphics and sound that money can buy will never, EVER, save a game from terrible controls
    • The controls and interface are painfully horrible, like Bethesda figured PC Modders will fix it, the game even defaults to using a 360 gamepad
    • Game is much better in oblivion in that respect, the controls feel very intuitive
    • The controls aren't any worse than Oblivion.
    • I love the overall control and the
    • First, the controls are absolutely terrible on PC, and the screen is jumpy
    • Clearly, the game was developed with consoles in mind ( and even then, the controls on consoles are pretty bad ) and it shows
    • Amazingly smooth controls with the Logitech controller
    • The controls are so horrible I can't get past the beginnings of the game.
    • It definatly takes some time to master the controls and get the feel for a first person DOOM style of game
    • What we have here is basically a direct console port which comes with a clunky control method, graphics that even on cutting-edge technology set to "ultra high" mysteriously look nowhere near as good as the gameplay videos we've all seen, and gameplay that continues Bethesda's trend over the past few years of simplifying games for the console crowd
    • great the control were good, and my pc could handle it.
    • However the controls are so bad that getting into this game is impossible for me
    • BUT the controls without one are fine to me & the graphics are better on
    • the controls on a PC do not work and a controler is needed( just the idea that one has to be bought not the cost of it)
