Give us UI options, instead of forced clutter.

I've already sent a far too many ingame feedback tickets about this, but since there is no news of it, I will start a thread.

There is a great many that is displeased with the newly forced cluttered UI, that is filling up the screen with meaningless clutter that a great many of us do not want.

I'm talking specifcally of the "@ingame-tag" as well as meaningless massive orange shield effect that pops up every time yourself, or an ally is blocking.

These are not only annoying, but very distracting from the overall world of Tamriel. We do not mind that people is given the option to have it, but it is very annoying to see this FORCED upon everyone, including your faithful TES fanbase. We do not wish to see a bunch of numbers or a strange name under a character's health bar when hovering over them. Just give us a simple toggle to remove them, so we can choose to only view their Character name, just like we're used to on the current live.

Options are good, but forcing us to clutter our screen up is not good, and outright lessens the overall experience of the game. Hence why many of us ask for a simple toggle of these nametags that appear when hovering over players. Give us the option, instead of forcing one particular set onto us.

Currently in options you can choose between "prefered" name to show, the issue just is.. both names are still displayed. Allow the option to entirely remove either one of them, so we can get the good old fashioned ways back.

Thank you for reading.

    Omg this. Make everything an option that I can turn on and off please. All of these new health bars and nameplate things are annoying me so much.

    No

    On their side. Not yours. So you can see them but they can't if they choose to turn it off.

    Seriously, please give us options to turn things off or up the transparency of them. I'm a roleplayer and PVE'er most days. I really, really don't care how many CP's people have or your @name. Just let me see the character name and I'm good.

    Yes!
    UI clutter kills off immersion. Some of it is useful and all, but I really don't need an information overload and comment of everything that is or is not under my crosshair. And I also don't need another confirmation for blocking other thent he normal animation.
    I understand that there are players who don't play for immersion but for sports or other reasons, but I am very sure the game isn't as beautiful as it is because of those people. Let them turn on the ui overkill and blocking confirmation shield floater but let us, who want to enjoy the great visuals and all turn it off. Options are a wonderful thing to please all people but the trolls.

    For the shield thingie look also here:

    There is a thread on PTS Topic Area about the stupid and ugly blocking icon besides the ugly heath bars, the showing of @names and CP numbers.

    I hope that @ZOS_GinaBruno, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom, @ZOS_MattFiror, and @ZOS_RichLambert take the BIG hint about this issue. They claim to listen to the player base and is a good way for them to prove that do or not. Will ZOS pass the test?

    Yes please, the only things I want to see when I target someone is character name and title.

    Preferably on the same format that it appears on the name plates ("General [Name]" or "[Name], Hero of Tamriel").

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Please tell them we want options to turn them off. I don't care what other people want to see - they can see my @name and health bars if they want to. But please give me an option to turn them off. I LIKE the current live UI system and I am devestated you guys are changing it for PC.

    Things I want:
    - Transparency Option - they don't need to block things out
    - Size - let us decide how big or small things on the UI are
    - Removal - let players decide if they want to see nameplates.
    - Backtrack - Give us the option to return to the minimalist UI from Thieves Guild. Or even give us UI skins that can change the way it looks.

    Please give us CHOICE.

    Things that absolutely should be toggleable:

    -Pools (health, magicka, stamina)
    -Healthbars
    -@ ID/name
    -Fugly ward animation when blocking
    -Scrolling combat text

    Optional:
    -Crosshair

    Seriously. They've said in interviews that they view the game as more of an online fully fleshed out RPG than a traditional MMORPG, and all their latest content reflects that. So why the heck are they ruining the core of that with all of this unnecessary clutter?
