1) a key or button to take all the contents of a container, a la Morrowind.

2) a key or button to pick up all items from the floor. Ideally, you'd pick up just items of the types you specify in the options screen: food, alchemy plants and potions, manuscripts and books, weapons and armor, gold, magic items, crystals and runes.

3) show approximate value of items at all times, not just in shops. This makes it easier to decide what to keep and what to throw away. Sacred does this, and I love it.

Or better yet: show the ratio of the item's value to its weight. That's what you REALLY need to know to decide whether to keep hauling it around. Have never seen this idea implemented, but it would be VERY useful. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Hi Srikandi! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Fun ideas, but I think they're over the top. If you put too much automation in a game, there's nothing left to do. Look at Dungeon Seige!

I do like the third idea, though. That would be very useful. Prices could be estimated to 2 places (eg. Something like 230 or 15,000, but not as exact as 17,234.)

The last idea: again, automation. You have a calculator! Put the work in if you're that picky! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Guess it's all a matter of taste... but I'd rather automate item gathering than fighting... in BD I click once to fight an enemy, but a dozen times to pick up the loot. Which part of the game is supposed to be more challenging? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I click alot of times because my stupid mage never listens to me and keeps casting the same damn spell.
