So i decided to give Oblivion another try, but its having the same issues that made me stop playing it the first time. I played Dark Messiah a lot, which is way more fine tuned and friendly in terms of UI, controls, and overall feel. So its hard for me to enjoy Oblivion.
1) This is what my main problem is: The inventory screen is confusing as hell. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to have a listed inventory? I have too many items to keep track of, and i often waste time scrolling up and down trying to find what i am looking for, which is very annoying when im trying to compare two items that are separated by over 9000 items between them. It is also very confusing as to determine what item goes where on my body. I click something that looks like gauntlets, and all of the sudden all my clothes are off and im in my boxers, wtf? Now i have to spend 5 minutes trying to find all my clothes again in a list of millions of items, and put them on again.
2) EDIT: (I finally figured it out lol) Also, how on earth do i DROP items from my inventory? I managed to pick up too much loot and i couldnt walk anymore. I tried furiously to drop items by different methods. I tried dragging them out of the inventory, right clicking, hitting the Grab button, hitting every button on the keyboard, nothing worked. So now im stuck and i cant move at all.
3) The shortcut keys for spells doesnt work either. I do as it tell me, but it refuses to assign hotkeys
4) How do i check my overall damage or armor?
I guess im too used to the Diablo 2 type of UI, where you can hit "I" and do what you want in a matter of seconds. I also find the animations in this game to be a joke, Bethesda needs to hire some new animators :/ The combat feels very sluggish and booring, my standards are too high after playing Dark Messiah.
Is there any mods out there that will help me sort these annoying things out and let me enjoy the game? I hear people talk about how great this game is all the time, but its these small things that keeps ruining it for me.
