Every time I level up I get some message about the number of perks which are now unlocked but have no clue in how to choose one. I can scroll through the various perks, some of which my character does not have the levels required to select but even for those he does (eg "barbarian") there seems to be no way to select it. I push on the mouse key and it just scrolls to the next perk. I definitely do not like the inability to assign various weapons to hotkeys. To switch you have to hit "Q" and scroll down your list of "favorites" with your somewhat unresponsive mouse. I suppose the controls are an example of the game being "consolized" (yet another new word I have just come across).On the PC, you can assign keys 1-9 to items in your favorites menu. Just open your favorites, hover over the item you want to hotkey, and hit the hotkey. It gets a little wonky when you have 2 of an item (i.e. 2 of the same bow) and will erase your hotkey binding from time to time, but in general it works.
I agree with the consolized complaint. The whole interface is WAY clunkier than it has to be on PC, and the only reason is because they had to make it work on a controller.
