Admittedly, when I sit down to play, it's later in the evening and sometimes my brain is fried from work.
I'm having a rough time with all the menus. Just... all of them. There are menus within menus. There are so many extras in your journal. There's skills, but there's also profiles. Your companions have some menus too, for load out etc. There are menus outside of you - like for research etc.
My brain does that thing where it goes numb - like when you're trying to read/understand a calculus word problem.
I'm not blaming the game this time. Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm tired by the time I sit down.
I think the hardest thing for me is getting used to the menus and remembering where everything is.
Anyone else?
I just started the game. Hopefully I'll get used to everything, between inventory, loadout, profiles, research, missions, quests....

@cat Blade - It's not just you. I'm having a horrible time with all the menus. Just the thought of trying to dig through the crafting section again makes me cringe...

I'm pretty sure this arises because they are trying to design a game which runs on all platforms and they're not prepared to design a specific system for mouse and keyboard. The inherent limitations in controllers means that it is going to be difficult to design a console game with complicated options without a somewhat messy UI. Any PC users remember Skyrim's menu system before SKY UI?

From what I've seen, yeah, it's not intuitive at all. And I haven't even played and hate the scanner already. Should have been a visor with instantaneous readings of everything around.

The journal menus are frustrating. There are too many nested levels so seeing all of your active quests is painful. They could've at least used collapsible menus instead of subfolders. But in the grand scheme of things this is a minor complaint for me.

The journal drill down is counter intuitive but the others? I have no idea how you would change the leveling menu to not have submenus and seperating the profiles in a new tab makes sense too. Quite frankly, given the amount of information available to the player I dont know how else this would work and I dont know of any similar game that doesnt use the same type of structure.

Is that like More Organs means More human? No, it's 'more orgasms = more humans' ;-) Scientifically, yes this is true.
