Bethesda:Dont Like Skyrim Controls? Change Them

The first detail that VP of PR and Marketing at Bethesda, Pete Hines has revealed on his Twitter account that the official soundtrack of the game would serve fans with 4 discs.
“The OST would take 4 CDs.” he said in response to a fan asking about the number of songs in the OST.
It also has been detailed that all buttons of the title’s controller can be remapped.

Same as Fallout was. I always change the Triangle from Jump to Action, and X from Action to Jump. I don't know why you have to reach so far up on a controller to jump. X(A on 360) should always be this. I love that you can custom your entire layout on these games.

One thing Bioshock bothered me with was making X action and Triangle as jump as it feels unatural. Traingle is out of the way which makes a great Action button. Just a peeve I got, like forcing me to use R2/L2 as the shooter buttons on PS3.

That just sounds really awkward to me but that's because I never changed the control scheme in fallout so I was used to using triangle to jump and x for action.

It's pretty sad, this should be standard in EVERY SINGLE GAME, i remember playing final fantasy 7 on my PSX many years ago and it had button remapping options.

It's a feature that has been so frequently overlooked and for what? it's not hard to implement and it stops people complaining about games having "shit controls" (anyone remember the killzone 2 b1tching?).

Anyway good on them for including this and shame on all developers who don't.

"(anyone remember the killzone 2 b1tching?)."

Well the control 'layout' of KZ2 had absolutely nothing to do with that b1tching, but that doesn't matter now.

And seriously, every game should have customizable controls, I don't understand why developers have to be so lazy when it comes to this issue. I absolutely hated using R2 and L2 in games like GTA4 and Red Dead (though in Red Deads defense, they later patched it when Undead Nightmare came out to support L1 and R1 instead of the r2/l2 crap).

So the OST is 4 discs.

It should be included on the CE for the price they are charging. If Square Enix can so it for the FF XIII-2 CE Bethesda can do it too.

[eak3]

agree whole-heartedly. The Elder Scroll soundtracks have always been gorgeous, this most definitely should have been added to the bloated 150 dollar CE.

[NoobJobz]

Good. I don't know why games don't always allow to remap the buttons. Some games have really bad layouts. Like the first poster said the bottom button is always jump for me. Anywhere else is awkward.

[MasterD919]

You are 100% right...It should be a standard for every game.

It would only benefit these games further by conforming to our play styles.

My Madcatz Tourmament Fight Stick is ready for SKYRIM

[Pintheshadows]

I have great respect for developers that allow this.

[Mr Tretton]

I find it quite stupid that the vast majority of console games still force a control scheme(s) on you. Glad I'm getting my new PC tomorrow, which is how I will be playing this game anyway.

[Pintheshadows]

Absolutely, especially since some control systems are horrific. KZ would have benefitted from this. The schemes available never felt natural. And enjoy your new PC Jack.

[Hassassin]

What PC are u getting? (I know u want to tell :B)

[Mr Tretton]

basic details

CPU: i7 2600K
GPU: GTX 560ti
RAM: 8 GB

[eak3]

I like the idea of being able to set it up to use only Clairvoyance to lead you to your quest, gives a more realistic approach than the quest marker scheme.

Great news :)
