But these mods haven’t come without controversy and no matter where you go, whether it is here on our own forums, at ESO fan communities, or even Reddit, there are aspects of these mods that are being hotly debated amongst the community. Thankfully, we have a willing and talented mod community that has already begun work on developing mods to extend the game’s UI, improving on things in some ways. But for PvP, it’s clear that a bit more information would be useful, if not altogether necessary. For PvE, the UI, at least so far, hasn’t presented any real problems for me.
That said, it wouldn’t be a stretch to conclude that ZOS may have gone a little too far in the other direction in some cases, even as someone who can appreciate the minimalism, and that’s where ESO’s moddable UI would conceivably come in. I’m actually looking at what my character is doing in combat, reading what enemies are doing through purely visual cues, and feeling able to appreciate the beauty of the game world all at the same time. Combined with the action combat and the recent trend towards a smaller amount of abilities being available at any given time, it finally feels like I can play an MMO without feeling compelled to glue myself to the UI. The latter crowd, and I count myself among them, was relieved to see that Zenimax Online Studios is going against the grain with The Elder Scrolls Online, designing a minimalistic UI that is distinctively Elder Scrolls.įor me, ESO’s UI has been a real breath of fresh air.
Many players embrace having as much information at their fingertips as possible, while others have grown fatigued of the information overload. With games like World of Warcraft, you end up playing the UI more than anything else, and this trend has been divisive, to say the least.
