When will Gamepad UI be done?

Since morrowind Master Merchant dropped gamepad UI support. The Gamepad ui still says it's in the beta stage, and there is a few weird bugs that if you try changing settings in KB/Mouse mode they wont apply to when you activate gamepad ui. Also when you disable your UI, you can't interact with anything using Gamepad which really breaks immersion.

Can we get the Gamepad fully developed please? IT should of been completed a long time ago, I feel like ZOS has either forgotten or doesn't care.

    Why? Do you really wanty to go there because we can go there. Okay buddy, here's why.

    *If you have wrist problems and can't use a mouse for long periods of time.
    *If you have to hunch over your desk to play on KB/Mouse
    *If you just want to relax and sit back playing the game.
    *If you always use Controller for PC gaming
    *If your keyboard / mouse are in poor condition.
    *If you don't know the million+ keybinds
    *If you have hand problems and can't use KB
    *If you like controllers
    *If you dislike KB/Mouse gaming
    *If you understand in this game there is no advantage with KB/mouse over controller.

    Hope this educated you.


    This thread is for everyone using Gamepad UI or is just interested in why ZOS would never finish something like that.

    Firstly, some of us got motor control damage.

    Secondly, I do. Plenty do.

    @notimetocare Get out and stay out. People like you are the bane of people who have to use controlers, who have to take to the forums. Stay. Out.

    ...Wait... Disabling UI while using a gamepad will disable world actions? Does it also prevent the user from using synergies as well?

    Been here since Beta. Play on 4k tv from my couch. Used Xpadder prior to Gamepad UI. Lots of people play like this now that PCs use HDMI ;)

    I use gamepad mode for all of those reasons except the 5th and 6th. I wish they would fix the horse dismount. I'm tired of firing at NPCs at the Undaunted Enclave. I know I can use block to dismount but I forget sometimes. :p

    Not sure about synergies.

    I just know the action button doesn't work when you have UI turned off. So you can't talk to people, open doors, etc..

    So many offended over a single question... lol

    And ignoring the likely reason because 'Well I use gamepad' from a handful of people on the forums. I offered you a reason why because you will likely never get a ZoS answer to this. ZoS has the data on how many people use the gamepad UI. The fact it is not seeing any improvement likely means there are too few people with interest in it.

    For a business move, they already have a place where controllers are used: consoles. There needs to be a demand and monetary incentive to develop features in a game.

    Most of your reasons are valid for the average players, but no advantage to kb/mouse? Unless you are using a basic mouse and keyboard, that's false.

    There you go. Also I don't see any advantages, maybe more buttons? More percise aiming at certain players in zergs? Idk.

    You would be surprised how many people use controllers, including a few well-known streamers. They generally don't talk about it because they don't want to hear insults from the "PC Master Race" crowd.
