You know what would be nice for consoles?

Odovacar

Outside of performance issues I/we would appreciate something comparable to PC's ADD-ON's. Please?


***Combat metrics breakdown would be phenomenal

Official statement - "Console manufacturers won't allow the installation of 3rd party programs. Sorry, our hands are tied."

Reality - Bethesda has already set precedent by allowing add-ons/mods with Fallout 4. The above statement is therefore proven false by their very own actions.


You decide....

I’m not trying to sound snarky, but considering the number of addons I have to use to make the game enjoyable to play, I wish ZOS would be proactive about adding a significant number of the better addon concepts to the base game. Too many of the game’s basic functions and interface are lacking or overly restrictive.

I can’t imagine playing this on console. Crafting without addons is confusing and slow. Mail without addons wastes time, with no fast retrieval option and unnecessary deletion confirmation dialogs. Outfitting your characters to different specs without addons is clunky. Keeping track of inventory over multiple characters and storage locations without addons is exceedingly time consuming.

The list just goes on. I guess if you just run one character doing casual overland questing and don’t bother with crafting, the interface might be fine. I expect most players aren’t that limited in how they play the game though.

Just give me a search feature for my bank to manage my inventory in a sensible way. And maybe a search feature for guild stores. That's all I want. Don't need a node farming add-on, don't need map add-ons, and in no way do I want a combat add-on that tells me what to do in battles. I mean, really? You need to play this game like Guitar Hero? "Roll now, light attack, etc."

Obviously not (apt analogy though), but maybe an account bound purchasable map overlay that lets us map our found skyshards and lorebooks after we've done them with one character, so each following character can find them more easily. Plus the inventory management interface and a combat metrics interface so we can actually see the type of dmg we're putting out and where we specifically need to improve. After playing on both Console and PC, I can honestly say the difference is pretty noticeable. I started on console, so I'm used to playing hard without crutches, but now that I've played on the dark side, I definitely feel their lack.

Only thing I really want is a better UI.

Timer Bars
Stack Trackers
Better information on Group Windows

That is really about it.

The option to select which buffs to track with the vainilla timers is looooong overdue.

Please ZOS! easy stuff

@p00tx, not a bad idea about the skyshards. Like it.

And I don't look down my nose on people who want the combat add-ons. Doesn't mean you're cheating, lame, etc. God knows, there's been some situations I wish I had one (looking at you vMA). But I just don't want to use them. To me, its kind of like playing a game while simultaneously doing everything the walkthrough guide tells you to do. Takes away from some of the fun for me.

Yes but all of those add-ons for fallout 4 and skyrim special they are approved and go through the game client.not no a third part website

Yeah my request would be just a combat metrics breakdown. I don't need all the bells and whistles such as skyshard maps, etc. I just want an accurate breakdown of how I performed during content i.e. uptimes. I think ZOS could muster an attempt for this internally.

Only time I'd use those addons are fights with timers, no way I'm mentally counting down 2 separate timers while fighting and following mechs. Currently 2 different people have to use a stop watch.

Combat metrics to breakdown your dps to see where you can improve would be nice, loads of other basic QoL addons too (map pins, multi craft, wardrobe one etc.)

HappyLittleTree

I don't want that.

FRICKIN SLIDERS ON CONSUMABLE CREATION!!!!! SO SICK OF 4 AT A TIME!!! How hard can the programming be really...

We don’t need ad ons. They (the developer) needs to include these tools as part of their base game.

Done right. It has to look clean and user friendly, and work with a controller.

The stuff they “gave” us looks pitiful. Buff trackers are completely worthless. The combat numbers are equally worthless.

Yeah, countdowns on the actual skill bar would be nice too. I hate counting in my head because I cant see my buff bar status as clearly as I would like.
