Just going to post that I would not recommend doing the popular "iPresentInterval = 0 tweak in the INI file" thing to disable vsync since it seems like it has a chance of messing up various things including introducing wonky physics and npcs messing up their schedules (thus possibly messing up quest-related stuff involving schedules). Here's a thread with more information along with a fix for those of you who've already had messed up npc schedules:

Do Not Disable VSync

That's because the mouse is on a different selection, which messes it all up. They should really disable the mouse in menu screens, since it's by far the worst way to control them and it messes with the keyboard controls sometimes.

Disabling the mouse is a bandaid though, they need to address the underlying problems with the UI. They likely won't but oh well.

It's a single player RPG. Frame rate doesn't really matter.

It also frequently leads you to picking the wrong choices in menus despite having a different selection highlighted.

Eh? The whole point of the UI is to make it so you never have to take your hands off WASD and the mouse.

Except for the fact that you have to press Enter to confirm a lot of things. Or press Tab to bring up the general menu overlay. Or press J to check your journal. Or press P to check your spells. Or press T to wait. Or press T to recharge enchanted weapons. Or press E to interact with things. Or press R to pick up everything. Or press / to check your skills and perks. Or press Q to bring up the "quick select" inventory.

Skyrim's UI wasn't designed to be efficient with mouse and keyboard. If it were, they would have added scroll bars because every single menu involves scrolling. And they would have supported PgUp/PgDn/Home/End to make this scrolling less tedious. And they would have allowed me to hotkey 10 items, not 8. And I would be able to hotkey these items directly from the inventory, rather than having to mark them as favorites, then hotkey them from the "quick" menu.

I have to imagine that anyone who actually likes Skyrim's UI doesn't do alchemy. Because the amount of scrolling I have to do just to make potions is ridiculous.

I really don't understand the bitching about the UI. It's easy to use on the PC, and much better than both Oblivion's and Morrowind's. Much better than Fallout 3/NV as well. It's great how one can quickly equip and navigate menus without moving the left hand.

D3D9? Who still uses that?

Dx9
Dx10
Dx10.1
Dx11 (Which I dont know that Skyrim supports)

I haven't had input lag either, but in some indoor areas, where the framerate hits triple digits, that's where horizontal and vertical mouselook gets wonky for some reason.

I run ultra settings (with some ini tweaks to make it look even better), and before the 4gb loader for Skyrim came along, I would get the dreaded purple textures and fairly frequent crashes. I hope that gets fixed in the next patch so everyone can stop complaining about crashing and stuff due to the game hitting the 2gb memory ceiling. If you're not crashing, it's because you're using lower settings, or you're running the large address aware loader. This shouldn't have made it past QA.

I'm not crashing and I'm not using any mods, injectors or excessive tweaks. I adjusted the INI to add tree shadows and allow arrows to hit things at max draw distance. That's about it, and I'm on Ultra settings with AA and FXAA enabled. I've seen less than 1 crash every 10-12 hours of play and I've never hit the 2GB limit. I'm also not sure how you're getting triple digit FPS unless you've disabled VSync. There was a reason Bethesda didn't provide an option to disable VSync.

Go into your data/textures folder and move it somewhere, then try to run the game. Still having the problem? If so then it's your drivers/settings or the game needs a compatibility patch for your system. If it fixes the problem then either your overloading your VRAM with too many HQ textures or your running a texture mod with bugs/leaks.

Realistic Smoke and Embers

As mentioned before, you're really splitting hairs. Most of those things are within reach of the standard WASD placement (unless you have freakishly small hands), you can press E or click for anything that requires Enter, and the other few things can be rebound to one of the keys around WASD that aren't in use (like X, V, G).
