Hello. I have a recommendation.

I'm on the Xbox. I think the radial system works well, if a little visually bland and unappealing.

But I don't like the game creating radials that I can't get rid of, and constantly rearranging things. I turned the option to have things added automatically off, but it still does it for spells and abilities. It can be annoying every time you equip or unequip new gear you have to tweak your menus. I have my menus carefully arranged. What would be good is if I could lock a spell or ability into a slot, that way the game couldn't randomly move things around.

Thank you very much for your time.

Agree completely. It's pretty annoying when you get disarmed, it automatically rearranges melee attack. Locking radial slots would be a nice QoL.

Did play too much with pad UI, but it seems to be it roughly suffers from same issues as base game’s hotbar - a management intensive UI, that refuses to respect organisational choices I made.

The only way I can see it becoming manageable (and I still believe that making hotbar a foundation of your UI design to be a bad choice to begin with) if for the game to:
1) remember where you assigned the skills when they disappear (like switching weapons, loosing access to spells) and reassigning them to those spaces if possible
2) notifying player that new spells are available for assignment and asking player to place them, rather than shoving them into first available slot.

No kidding, I abandoned my current run, as I have to do some UI management, and I would rather play something else, than do that.

+1 yes please.

Especially for Abilities like Move Moonbeam, Gloom Stalkers Dread Ambusher, or Monks bonus attack.
I have to look for them every time.
