A question for you all - which VIDEO GAME has your favourite in-game interface? That means UI, controls, everything. An interface that not only feels natural and good but immerses you in the game, makes play easy, AND makes you want to keep playing. Can be from any era.
(Please boost)
@vampiress I can think of random elements. I've played a reasonable amount of the Oblivion remaster recently and the power selection wheel is a much better UX than the Skyrim system, and I think one of the reasons I prefer Oblivion (also nostalgia). It's so much faster and less immersion breaking than looking through menus (as the Skyrim system feels to me).
Of course in some of your games looking through menus or remembering commands could be immersive for the kind of experience you're trying to build.
@ike @abstractcode @vampiress if you want to experience the full UI regression in Bethesda games, try Starfield. The interface is horrendous, with menus being a painful maze every time you need them, which is often. It's sad to see how far they have fallen.
(and I'm not even mentioning the game itself.)
