Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s GUI

A recent article at Game Informer outlines some GUI improvements for Skyrim over Obllivion. As well as helping all users build mental models more quickly, the new concept seems particularly accessible for console users.

There’s a central, easy access menu with 4 options:

1. Inventory: managing quest items, armour, weapons & equipment
2. Magic: managing magical items & spells
3. Map: managing quests & fast travel
4. Star map: star constellations map character progress and skill unlocks
