Inventory UI tweak(s)

#1 Post by inde »

One thing that frequently annoys me as I'm playing, specifically regarding having multiple weapon sets, is that I can't see what's in the other weapon set unless I swap to it (which takes a turn). Obviously this can be bad in combat, if you think you have something in the other set that turns out to not be there. Not to mention sometimes I just forget that I even have anything equipped in the other set. So my proposal is that the other weapon set be represented somehow on the inventory UI so you can see what's equipped without leaving the inventory, swapping weapon sets, and opening the inventory again.

This is kind of minor for a thread so if anyone else has suggestions relating to the inventory UI, go for it!

Yes, definitely a problem, and I doubt it was intended in any way. Probably just slipped through the cracks.
Sorry about all the parentheses (sometimes I like to clarify things).

Make some talents/other events automatically swap to the "all" tab. It's slightly annoying to use Imbue Armour, swap to the gems tab, choose a gem, swap to the armour tab, then choose the armour. The same applies to the apprentice mage, and some other talents.
Some of my tools for helping make talents:
Melee Talent Creator
Annotated Talent Code (incomplete)

Maybe a Diablo II style "weapons tab" that changes color depending on whether or not there's something in the other tab? Just position it over the character model or weapon slot, separate from the inventory proper.
