Please add an option to reverse some of the buttons in the UI that are reversed for example no and yes to yes and no and so on.

I do know that this setup is from pads but for a PC game its just weird.

And the worst part is, it's not consistent. The crafting dialog, for example, has them the opposite way (last I checked, anyway). I found this annoying as well, but I've got used to it. Still, it would be nice if they'd change that.

For example, when a dialog (say, to load a save game) comes up with Yes and No, generally it's anticipated that 'Yes' will be on the left, and 'No' will be on the right (since we read left to right). For some strange reason, they did it in reverse. It's pretty much the same with the character creation. The "primary" character (Roderick, by default) is on the right, when you'd expect it on the left (for similar reasons). This actually threw me for a loop on my first character creations, since I was trying to use the "secondary" character as my primary, and the game kept switching me back to the other character on loading a save game.

LordCrash - Here is a sample of how to change the main menus in the game:

Options -> Video: Cancel Accept Apply should be Accept Apply Cancel
Options -> Audio: Cancel Accept Apply should be Accept Apply Cancel
Options -> Controls: Cancel Save Default should be Save Default Cancel
Options -> Game: Cancel Accept Apply should be Accept Apply Cancel
Mods: Reset Cancel Activate should be Activate Cancel Reset
Load: Back Load should be Load Back


Havent had time to check in game menus yet.

And here I thought it was only me wink I have to double check what I am pressing on all menus and at least 1 of them has this order in reverse (in this case, the right way) which further confuses.


And yes, We read from left to right. This kind of reverse GUI is only used for tablets.
