You might be in a minority, but if so you're not alone. Loved Morrowind, played it to death -- a few times -- but never made it more than ten hours into Oblivion across the numerous times I've tried. The repetitive gates... I can handle that. The flat characters... no real deterrent there, either. Even a nonsensical story line... not the point of the game. But that interface was just atrocious. A button press and at least three mouse clicks (and probably some scrolling as well) to find the item I want? That's garbage.I'm not sure if I'm in the minority on this, but a great UI is really important to me. And games played on a PC must take advantage of keyboard/mouse and resolutions supported by the PC.
Oblivion was such a waste of potential fun for me it was infuriating; I could SEE the game lurking in there, could even experience it, but that damned interface kept intruding with every little thing I wanted to do, and eventually I just threw up my hands and said "Screw it". It wasn't worth the continual frustration.
Have already decided that unless they can be bothered to create a good keyboard/mouse interface with this game, Skyrim is a game that I'm going to skip. Regretfully, perhaps, since I enjoy the whole Elder Scrolls style of game and the lore they've made for the setting, but I'm tired of fighting with software because someone couldn't be arsed to make a workable interface.
