I just finished a playthrough with the latest update (version 1.1.30), and am impressed with everything that’s been fixed/added. I was really happy to see many fixes that I and others have requested here and elsewhere on the forums, some of which weren’t even listed in the complete change log (recipes learned from books are now tracked in the journal, the trade window now allows switching between players, NPCs (except the quartermaster?) now repair/identify items in their inventory, NPCs can now repair equipped items (via the "Equipped" trading inventory tab), unnecessary companion talents are now hidden, weapon tooltips now note "one-handed" or "two-handed", windows now "remember" their on-screen locations, "journal"/"map" keyboard shortcuts now act as proper open-close toggles, the order of scrolling through inventory/skill windows now follows the currently selected player portrait order, switching to a new player no longer interrupts the started action of the original player, left-clicking an unreachable location no longer recenters the camera on the player, the mouse pointer now "cuts through" walls/obstacles to allow interaction with adjacent items/containers/NPCs). It's really gratifying to see Larian yet again listening to player feedback.

But there are still many UI/control improvements that are hopefully in the works for future updates. If Raze wouldn't mind (again) copying the below revised set of lists (starting with "USER INTERFACE IMPROVEMENTS WISHLIST") over the single list in the OP, I’d really appreciate it. Either way, the below lists include the fixes that are still requested as of beta version 1.1.30, and that haven't been explicitly referred to as unplanned elsewhere. (Of course, if someone from the dev team could confirm that more work in this area is still planned despite the June 20 release date, that'd be awesome…)

Finally, some UI-related bugs/oversights:

1) "Lucky Charm"'s effect on hit chance still isn't displayed within the "Offense Rating" tooltip
2) "Summon Wolf" is shown under "Survivalist" instead of "Earth Magic" in the skills window
3) Some items still can't be used/consumed despite tooltip information indicating they can (e.g. carrots, wheat, etc.), and/or are missing tooltip information (e.g. jellyrooms, etc.)
4) Ring/amulet problems: bonuses to the same ability (e.g. Loremaster) given by amulets and rings don't stack with each other when worn together; wearing two rings with bonuses results in losing the bonuses from one of the rings
5) Recipe book problems: there are duplicate copies of some recipe books which don't have special icons and aren't automatically added to the journal "Recipes" tab when read (e.g. "He Who Smelts It, Volume I", "Fun With Fluids, Volumes II and III", "Secrets of the Scroll, Volume V", etc.); in the journal "Recipes" tab, the volumes of "The Adventurer's Field Guide" are scattered throughout the list instead of listed together in one section
6) Map marker problems: the "secret" markers added by the treasure maps, as well as some location markers (e.g. for Esmerelda's shop, the cook’s house, Thelyron’s clinic, etc.), still disappear and reappear at random

Thanks for all your hard work, Larian – looking forward to the next big update!


USER INTERFACE IMPROVEMENTS WISHLIST


INVENTORY AND TRADING MENUS/CONTROLS

1) All items of an identical type should stack with each other in the inventory window, excluding non-identical equippable items - items that should stack but currently don't: all "junk" items (i.e. (large) bottles, broken bottles, (flower) pots, globes, lab junk, plates, tubes, vials, vial racks), arrow shafts, arrowheads (identical types), books (including all identical recipe books and blank skillbooks), bonedust, cups of water, empty bottles, folded shirts, golden cups, golden spoons, nine inch nails, parchment, pillows, pixie dust, rope, soap, starfish, wooden figurines, apples/bottles of beer/drudenae/hams/herrings/logs/roasted pork dishes/skulls (only some items of these eight types currently stack with each other), "Cyseal Pie" and "Cyseal Fish Pie" (duplicates?), etc.

2) An "auto-sort" function for all inventory and trading windows should be added

3) Items should be consistently arranged in the same item grid slot order within all inventory and trading windows

4) A key ring (functioning as an "openable" container) to store all keys within a single inventory grid slot should be added

5) Left-clicking (rather than left-clicking-and-holding/dragging) on an item within the inventory window should allow you to pick it up

6) An option to tag/mark items as "junk" for later quick/one-click sale should be added

7) The value of every stat/ability currently modified from its base value should be displayed in a different color in the inventory window

8) Clicking on a character portrait or activating a character via the "F1"-"F4" keys should also switch to that character's inventory or skills window, if already open

9) The price listed for a stack of items in the trading window should be for one individual item instead of for the entire stack

10) An option to manually type the number of items to move/trade from within a stack should be added

11) Each NPC's Identify/Repair ability levels should be displayed in the NPC's trading menu

12) Loremaster/Identify overhaul (current click-intensive system is extremely time-consuming, and adds no challenge) – if a player has an identifying glass and sufficient Loremaster ability, all items (items that are picked up, as well as items displayed in all trading menus) should be identified automatically

13) Blacksmithing/Repair overhaul (current click-intensive system is extremely time-consuming, and adds no challenge) – if a player has a repair hammer and sufficient Blacksmithing ability, a new "Repair All" icon/button usable only outside combat should repair all items equipped by the party with one click (except those too damaged for the player's ability)


COMBAT MENUS/CONTROLS

1) Targeting/highlighting enemies should be easier, especially when enemies are near other enemies or party members

2) A "facing" indicator should be added to the circle under each enemy's feet to aid with backstab positioning

3) Skills should "dim/highlight" when plotting character combat movement to show whether sufficient AP for the skill would be available if the path is chosen


GENERAL MENUS/CONTROLS

1) "ALT" should consistently highlight all items, containers, and interactable objects within the player’s line of sight; there are also problems with the line of sight calculations as of beta 1.1.30 - currently, most items as well as chests (but no other containers) are highlighted; however, some items are never highlighted (e.g. mostly "junk" items - (large) bottles, broken bottles, (flower) pots, globes, lab junk, plates, tubes, vials, vial racks – but also some useful items - pillows, soap, whetstones), and neither are items placed on certain wall shelving, tables, sloped ground, etc. (e.g. inside and just outside Esmerelda's shop, inside the cook's house, inside Aureus's office, on top of the bookshelf at the back of Bellegar’s cave, plants in the garden of the End of Time living quarters, items on the sloped path just outside the lighthouse, items on the sloped exploskeleton path just west of the church, etc. – this seems to be a problem with the calculations for what is considered within the player’s "line of sight") - also, although this should be an optional toggle in the main menu to satisfy both those who enjoy and those who hate pixel-hunting, there should be an option to make item/container/object highlighting always automatically active

2) To assist colorblind players, the color of the "chest" action icon for containers that are "not owned" but not yet opened should be changed from yellow to white – this way, the "chest/door/hand" action icons for all containers/doors/items would be orange if "owned", and white if "not owned", with the label "[Empty]" added but the icon color unchanged if a container is empty

3) All keyboard controls (including WASD, ALT, etc.) should be fully reassignable in the "Controls" menu

4) The camera "zoom out" height/range should be increased

5) A true "pause" function should be added (even opening the game menu currently doesn’t pause the game)

6) A more convenient method of ending an NPC dialogue at any time is needed - e.g. by hitting "ESC" to exit the dialogue screen, and/or moving the "end dialogue" speech option to the top or side of the list from its current usual position at the bottom – in situations where dialogue can't be skipped for quest reasons, the "end dialogue" option may then be disabled

7) All custom map markers should be fully editable - currently, you can delete a custom marker by right-clicking it (sometimes - it's glitchy), but there should be an easy way to select and edit the description for each existing marker as well

8) Pathfinding should be improved such that party members will always avoid damage floors/environments (not only traps) - where a damage area can’t be avoided (e.g. a tight corridor), the player should be required to manually control any party member who must walk through the damage area

9) Hotkey toolbar enhancements – add a tooltip to each spell/skill stating the spell/skill category to which it belongs (e.g. "Fire Magic"); add more toolbars/slots; add new assignable keyboard shortcuts to switch between toolbars; add the ability to assign an entire spell/skill category to one toolbar slot, such that right-clicking the "Fire Magic" slot (for example) would open the player's Fire Magic spells skillbook window

10) Character creation enhancements – add 360-degree rotation of character models; add a true "classless" option (with no pre-assigned attributes/abilities/talents/skills); add the ability to change starting skills and equipment
