The controls are definitely set up with a controller in mind rather than a keyboard. It works great with a controller. Although if you're a spellcaster, using the favorites gets a little annoying, but if you're mostly a physical damage dealer, it works pretty well to quick swap between them. I do prefer how they did hotkeys for the consoles in Oblivion (get to save 8 on the directional pad), but it's doable how they have it for console anyway. I guess they just wanted the UI a bit sleeker or something.

There is a little bit of a shortcut though. It does a save right before you tell Hadvar your name so you don't have to watch the motion-sickness inducing wagon ride at least. Or maybe I did it myself? I think it automatically did it though even though it didn't call it an autosave. I don't think I would have thought ahead enough to come up with that.
Intolerant monkey.
