Really? Since 1.045, It seems closer to 90°.
Yes, it has increased, but it's less than 90°. ^^
However, I missed the part about that this is an intentional design choice and so I have to accept that. It would have been nice, but it's not dramatic.
I like the idea of the up/down arrows to switch skill bars as well... but on the other hand, it might be a balancing factor. If they add an AP cost to swapping your active skills, that wouldn't work with a second or third skill bar. It depends on what they want to do with it.
Maybe the skillbar could at least change between an combat mode and an non-combat mode. So things like unlock could be in the skillbar among others without rearranging the skills everytime which is annoying and doesn't add anything to the game.
At some point Larian added Item Highlightning by pressing the ALT key, yay. That's the strange part about playing an alpha: some things you mention are already on the todo list but hasn't been finished.
