Time for some clarifications!
If you directly put Skyrim PC to Console next to each other then the PC version is superior.
You got faster bugfixes, mod support, better visuals and versatile options.
You CAN play the game on the PC with a controller. I do it with my PS3 controller. Also in third person because I'm a rebel.
The menus are actually made with controllers in mind and it kind of shows.
Mods are big for TES games. Some say its because the original games themselves arent all that great.The modding community has always been huge and I expect some interesting stuff for the PC version too.
Some mods are so big that they could be called completely new games. Bigger than your average DLC psckage.
Its one of those games that actually shines on the PC. Compability can always be problematic because thats how PCs are, but any modern PC should actually run it.
Fact is: Bethesda games are buggy. Bethesda games are known for being delivered unfinished and get fixes over time. I'm not sure how fast they would adress those problems in the console versions. Not even sure if many problems exist in those.
Major protip: Hook your TV to your PC, get a controller connected to the PC and just play Skyrim as if it was a PS3 game.
I did that for Sonic Generations. Pretty cool actually.
I personally dont even like Skyrim so far. Not sure if I will buy it. The combat isnt something that I like. Other games deliver a way better experience in that regard and I expect a lot from this gameplay defining aspect.
Dark Souls on the other hand, while not being deep on the lore and open worldness entertains me a lot more right now.
Maybe I'll get it when I feel in the mood for some open world immersive game. But then again, so far most of my immersion from games came from challenging and deep content. So I dont really know.
Might just wait for a patched version that is well playable with some interesting mods out (maybe some that make the combat enjoyable for me).

Found your problem.
