Please, Larian, hire someone who understands User Interfaces better than whoever the heck is doing it now. Because the current UI leaves a LOT to be desired.
***
I've been picking up pouches and backpacks to use as containers., and some problems have come to note.
- You can only have ONE container open at a time. This was probably done to prevent some kind of thieving trick, but it has an irritating side effect. I can't transfer stuff between containers.
- I finally found the storage chest on the Lady Vengeance and I want to put all the crap I picked up because I am dumb and obsessive-compulsive into the inventory. But I can't have two containers open at one time, so I need to move everything into my inventory first.
- But these pouches and backpacks I've been picking up have no "take all" button. So I need to individually move each and every single item, first from my inventory and then from my inventory into the storage chest.
- I need to move them all one at a time, because for some reason, in the year 2017, this game has NO MULTI-SELECT CAPABILITY. In a sensible game, I should be able to hold a button and click on a lot of items to select them all at once, and then perform an action, like "mark as wares", or "send to [Party Member]", or drag and drop into them into a container or barter screen.
- Oh, and the Storage chest itself is just an ordinary chest. As in, it's a 5*4 grid with a scrollbar. No tabs for categories, no way to sort except dragging and dropping. The storage chest should be more like an external inventory screen than an ordinary chest, complete with tabs and a way to sort.
Please, have mercy on our poor hands. There's no reason why we need to do thousands of extra clicks for basic inventory management. This is a thing which should be most obvious to those who have had to spend thousands of hours doing it already: You, the developers.
There will be more gripes about the UI later, but first I need to go rest my hands.
