Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback UI improvement suggestions

I'm going on level 18 now, and I thought that I'd collect my thoughts on how I'd like the UI improved. I really really love this game, but some extra UI conveniences would make me love it even more.

Inventory
- Let us name and/or color backpacks from the right-click menu. I use backpacks a lot to keep stuff organized, but they change their order every time I start the game up, and they all look the same... If I could have different-colored backpacks and name them like 'quest items', 'crafting' etc, it would be great.

- Scaling backpacks, like scaling inventory. Let the backpacks expand vertically when more studd is added. It can be a huge pain to scroll through these bags when they have a lot of contents.

- Sorting of backpack contents, please.

Party management
- A button to group/ungroup all party members.

Crafting
- Preview of equipment stats when crafting from a recipe. I can never remember if I should stop at a large or huge healing potion, for instance.

- Mark favorite crafting recipes so they appear in a separate category at the top, so I don't have to scroll through hundreds of recipes for the ten or so recipes I use most of the time.

- An option to mark unwanted recipes (like the 'add to wares' option for gear) so those unwanted recipes don't show up unless I specifically want them to.

- And my biggest wish: Right now you can string search for recipes (which I only discovered after about 100 hours play, yay me), but I'd really love to be able to search all my current recipes for ingredients and see all hits. My problem is that when I'm considering crafting something involving a high-quality air essence, I can never remember if that's also needed for another recipe I'd like more. If I could just search 'high-quality air essence' and see all recipes with this ingredient, My life would be so much easier. I could also use that to get rid of ingredients I'll never use.

Awesome game ! clocked quite a few hours (re)playing :-)

Just wanted to add to what Sesostris said above ( all of which I think would add a lot to the game ) regarding the backpacks.

Having the filters to tidy up the party's uncontrollable urge to pick everything up *cough* is great, but what I find not working very well is having the smaller bags / pouches / boxes etc in the "all" tab.

Would it be possible to add these containers to the bar above ( where the gold and item count is ) ?

This would allow to have the filters applied, and be able to select/deselect bags and tidy things up in a much more effective way. Even if just one at a time as it is now. We could then minimize all but one character bag and pick bags from the others' bars while sorting out the pile of shiny loot our lead character keeps hoarding :)

For the inventory, it would be great if the autosort function only worked in the panel you're currently in. I frequently want to autosort All but I don't want my stuff in Equipment to get messed up.

Also - we desperately need a button in the trading interface to filter the new stuff from the old junk we sold to that trader.

Right click -> Send all wares to <barter character>. This would have saved me roughly 5 hours of inventory management over my play though so far.

My general operation is to pick up and search everything on my main character, then open the inventory pane and identify and check if characters need to wear that gear, then I put the gear in wares, along with the other stuff I don't keep with shift click. Then I take the 5 minutes to right click -> send to barter character all the wares items.

Either that, or when trading and you add all wares to the trade screen it takes it from all the character's wares.

Searching for tabs 1-5 in the skills bar is not as convenient as it seems at first glance ... I do not have the option in the settings to make another line for skills or items in the Quick Access toolbar ... the higher the lv level, the more different things It should be used against different opponents on the complexity of valor, when you pass without satellites ...


I apologize for the grammar, because I know very little English
