[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="8" id="3261179"]I'm not viewing Windows 8 as a Windows 7 replacement. Not even as a tool or a useable OS. I see it as a toy.

Percent has a different meaning than percent point. The UI's tooltips often uses the symbol % to incorrectly indicate pp. This is especially confusing because typically games will include a mix of pp and % yet call them both % as if they are the same thing. Granted pp is not a well known symbol so I would suggest using "%p" with a hiergamenon entry clarifying. (even though the official recognize symbol for percentage point is pp and %p is not) For example

(only reason really for me to do so is the lack of a "just one more turn" when you win)
1. Sandbox is no longer allowed (I can no longer disable conquest victory!) while "just one more turn" is still not available after winning a non sandbox game. 2. The description for Enchanters faction trait does not specify it grants access to scrying pools 3. I attacked a bandit camp that granted me a scroll of fireball when I won it. I did not have such a scroll before attacking them. During the fight against them, the scroll of fireball (which I did not yet have) appeared

[quote who="seanw3" reply="145" id="3254836"]Anyhow, the UI is not where FE will lose review points. It's the untested campaign and download integrity that are the biggest risk factors for next week.[/quote] Actually... this raises a great point. Why is the campaign completely untested? Next week they should release the campaign as a beta and fix the bugs we find it before going final. (even a 1 week beta for the campaign could mean a big difference)

[quote who="mastroego" reply="143" id="3254822"]I have 3 (three!) different mods just to address Skyrim's UI. SkyUI, Better Sorting, and Categorized Favorites Menu. Without these three, frankly I wouldn't be playing it, in all likelihood. Skyrim really is a weird beast. If it was for the UI, it should have tanked. Hard. I still hate that every time I want to add a perk, I have to cycle through *ALL* the abilities.... But moddability saved it.[/quote] I us

Why are there just word labels instead of icons? (consoles suffer from low resolution and looking from afar so labels are WORSE on TV).

Scaling it up to 24+ inches is harder... So there is definitely room for improvement.
