So I just discovered that you cannot view your character model while you equip items like you could in Oblivion, so I came up with a semi solution. Sheath your weapon, and rotate (in third person) to the front of your character. From here, activate the menu and start equipping items.

Problem is, in third person your character is always on the left side of you, and so is the menu. Does anyone know of any way to move either to the other side?

Another inconsistency, the magic is on the right side! The magic arrow is on the left, but the spell selection is on the right. If only the two menus were switched, it would solve both problems!

There will probably be a mod for this in the near future.

Yeah sadly Bethesda didn't add nearly enough interface options in the game like widescreen/not widescreen, more readable fonts for SD TVs, not able to flip around third person, weird map movement etc. But the game is awesome so I forgive them. As Conzeq said, I imagine a mod will change this in the future, but if you're a console peasant like me well I think it's just tough luck.

Not trying to be a jerk or an ass with this comment, but I wasn't even aware that stores still sold SDTV's.. seriously. I have not seen one in a store in several years as HDTV/LCD/Plasma has pretty much been the standard/default make for a while now..
