Prepared spells and abilities should show up in pup-up bars corresponding to "powers" "cantrips" "1-st level spells" "2-nd evel spells" "3-rd level spells" etc. I find myself clicking on the little 1-st level spell flap expecting in to extend upwards and showing me my prepared 1 level spells.
I agree with this entirely.
The spells and whatnot should have an interface to the first game in that there's a single icon with it's own dedicated menu.
The hotbar otherwise still needs a
serious overhaul. That's the one painful part of the game.
