We all know that the PS4 version of TESO is going to be released soon. Just out of curiosity, how many of you think that TESO would have been developed better if it was solely released for PC and if so, which area would have been made better?

PS: This topic is not to bash PS4, apologies if some of you feel this way.

Thanks

TESO Fun-fact 1: It takes to kill 119,050 mudcrabs to reach level 50
TESO Fun-fact 2: There are 61 million items in the game
TESO Fun-fact 3: There are 40,656,000 different weapon variations in the game

    More hotkeys will be the big comment, but riddle me this

    If these games are not going to be cross platformed, why restrict the PC game to Console limitations in the first place?

    Yeah, I definitely think there should be a few more hotkeys. Five clearly isn't enough for some builds. I am not asking for 20 or anything, but 7-8 would have been very reasonable. They can say all they want about why there is only five, but they will never convince me it was for any other reason than controller limitations.

    Its unfortunate that PCs always have to be limited by the desire to cross-platform.

    I think it would've been better.. I mean, the current UI is atrocious.

    I don't think it will be better on the PS4; in fact as a PC & PS4 owner I'm curious as to how the UI will work for the PS4 as its hard for me to imagine translating a keyboard to a controller.

    Also...

    But for this game, you will not have PC and console people playing on the same server. So no ad/disadvantages to worry about. Of course it would make like easier for the development end of things

    The lack of quickbar abilities is not because of the console.

    DCUO has like 10 hotbar abilities plus trinket menus they have to navigate through.

    It was a design choice.

    Heck, Skyrim, Oblivian, etc you had 2 hotkeys for abilities... Left Mouse Button and Right Mouse Button :open_mouth:

    Wow so many of you gave more hotkeys as the answer. However,I believe it was design choice for limiting to 5+1, I maybe wrong though...
