I've been thinking about UI recently because of BG3 and Starfield.
Larian has a really smart idea with theirs by having a totally different UI when playing with a controller over M&KB. It's not perfect, but they are so vastly different and perfect for either way you're controlling. They seem to understand what does and doesn't work for either way you would play the game.
Then I started playing Starfield and, you know... It's Bethesda. The UI is what it is in their games, like always. Optimized for controllers, and just controllers. For viewing on a TV and not a small screen. It also was a bit confusing with the 4 square menu, the first thing you see when pressing escape/start. If you have to give me a tutorial on how to navigate your menus: your menus suck.
On the flip side, I'm glad to hear they've designed for controllers because I've been playing games exclusively from the sofa for the past decade.
Not quite as long, but same. Moved from a house to a tiny apartment and have no room for my desk, so I game on the TV. It's a PITA to set up a small table and chair just to use M&KB since I don't have wireless peripherals other than my controllers.
