Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Permanent Name Bars

I'd REALLY like to see an option to have permanent name bars on the NPCs. Something really simple, maybe just really thin lines for armor and hp and their name in a smaller font. Analyzing the battle field would go so much faster and it would be easier to find people when searching for quests and the like.

Modders told me they can't do it because it's a hard coded UI issue... so Larian, please?

I know it's not what you ask for but you can press the Tilde key (to the left of 1, depending on your keyboard) to toggle combat highlighting.

I've had that on since day one. And that doesn't help with keeping track of armour/hp or names.

Glad to see you found the forums, MrJane! Tommy from your steam post here

I recall someone from Larian replying to a topic regarding making new calls for hp value absolutes etc. He implied it could potentially be possible to add at some point if my memory serves. So if that's achieved at some point, it isn't too far of a stretch to get a health bar system working, I'd imagine. But it comes down to resources > demand too I guess. If the absolutes calls are added to the modding tools at some point, and also opening the doors for UI modding, then I'd say it's very much achievable. But until that day... ^^

I think it sounds like a neat addition to the game too. If not as an optional setting.
