Recently I started a Hunter build where no magic compass or markers would be used so I would have to memorize the land. I've noticed that without the HUD I can read enemies more clearly since I am not distracted by Stamina, health, magicka, or enemy health meters. I have also noticed a great rush not knowing how the battle is going. The only issue I have is not being able to know if I am stealing an item, or trageting the right npc.
Anyways my question is how everyone feels for the HUD? Obviously, Console and PC players will have different experiences, but all are welcomed. Let's see what the pros and cons of having it off or on.
I personally was using a mod to hide the crosshair, compass, health, magicka and stamina bars but lately switched to completely removing hud via ingame settings and absolutely love it. I realized that the little hints as "Open Door, Loot Bandit, Pick Up Gold" really stand in the way of immersion. Sneaking is also way more enjoyable without hud
The only time I feel the HUD is absolutely needed is picking up items in a home or store you are friends with. But besides that, I really felt lost, even in an area I am very familiar with, like outside of Helgen. It just seems you see the world differently without the, what I now call, Terminator eyes.
