Lar_q, thanks for your prompt answer.

I do like some of the stuff you did with the console interface.
I like the freeze of the action with the right stick and the shortcut to the item selection with the bumpers.
I like the way you can modify shortcuts without going to the inventory.
So I acknowledge that some work has been put into delivering a good console RPG experience, especially on the part a fairly small development team. Sorry if I sounded harsh.


However, I do think that the main menu is an issue, you just don't see main menus done this way in console RPGs nowadays, with so much stuff grouped into a vertical section from the save/load to the inventory to the quest journal. Looks like a PC thing.

I know you get that type of request every time, but could the main menu get a different layout through a patch? It would help tremendously given the amount of time you spend navigating between saving, quests and weapons over the course of a playthrough.
Not even changing the options themselves or anything, but just changing the layout of that menu to a wheel motif would make a large difference.


At the risk of sounding very pretentious, I even think what follows could work:

If you push the Left Stick towards for example the "Inventory" section of the wheel, you could either:
-press A to actually enter the Inventory
-press Right Bumper to make Inventory your preferred option at the center of the wheel.

This way from now on, when you press Start, you just have to click A to arrive to your favorite destination "Inventory" without even pushing the Left Stick in any direction.
But if you prefer, you can also push the Left Stick in the "Save" direction and press RB to have "Save" now be the center of the wheel.
This could make things like quick saving or inventory access a breeze compared to the current situation, and in my opinion would truly benefit the action RPG experience that is Divinity II.

Even if that "Press RB to put at the center of the wheel" thing is not do-able, just a basic wheel layout would do a world of good.


Thanks for your attention.
