I would like to talk about the interface of The Elder Scrolls Online. As for me, the game's interface is very outdated for the middle of 2022. It is not very correct display, buffs and debuffs.
At the moment they look like something living on their own. Not only that there are a lot of them and they are all in one pile, and due to this all they cannot be tracked down adequately in any way. And as a player who is primarily interested in the group content of the game, this is a problem, as you can not keep track of this or that debuff, which you put the boss, except as a visual. And that's the problem.
Also, I can not say nothing about the way the game is built system of quests. I think I, like many players have faced the fact that you want to go through a story line of this or that addon, inspired by this desire you go take the task, and then you are unwilling to start doing another task, namely to find where you have to go.
And okay if it is a quest in the same part of the location and you show the marker zone or a specific thing, but when the quest goes beyond the area where you are, it is a pain how much each entrance to anything, whether it is a tavern, the entrance to the city, a dungeon, the transition to another location shows that the task is located so, and it is all over the map. And you spend a lot of time to trivialize the task. I understand that this problem can be partially corrected with the help of addons, but still, I'm talking about the vanilla version of the game interface.
And also I would like to touch the character customization, which in my opinion is also very outdated, and which should be redesigned, because in the editor itself is a very poor selection of available options character appearance, ranging from the face and physique, ending with hair, clothing and so on.

ChuckyPayne✭✭✭✭I feel the same. The poblem that there isn't an addon that change the UI. I don't like Morrowind and Oblivion addons and outdated and errors, and very uggly textures.0 -

✭✭✭✭The buffs and debuffs combat icons are a mess on console. Like you say, the little boxes move around and it’s impossible for me to keep up with them yet I’m supposed to when running trials. I’d rather look at the animations on my character to see what skill I’m using, except we’re all stacked on top of each other and it’s a bright, burning splotch in the spot on my screen from everyone else’s animations.

Yes, that's the problem. It's very hard to keep track of this stuff. It would be cool if they revised it all, and made the interface more serious, so to speak.0 -

Immersion Addons list
In there I use just addons to get the UI I want then in the section at the end you can use a Reshade

They could revise it all, to make it specifically how you would like it.
The large majority won't like it how you do, or I do.
Thank god for Addons, I would personally love that consoles also can use them.
Even better that Addons are integrated for free in the store and you can pick and chose.
Until then, I am just happy I can at least use addons to get the game I want it to look.
It took lots of time for me to make that Addon List for Immersion, take a look at it, it contains all the addons needed to customize fully the UI.
Godspeed if you on console0 -

I completely agree with you, but I still wish that the developers, at least somehow changed it all, not just sell new skins on mounts.0
