Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Interface Issues, Questions, and Suggestions

Nothing major and in no particular order:

1. What is Toggle Party/Character Overview supposed to do? For me, it does nothing, even with 3 party members.

2. There's a T button in the buttons around the map that is disabled. What is it for?

3. what is Toggle Info?

4. I'd like a highlight any interactable rather than just toggling tooltips. Otherwise one spends time scanning with the mouse to see if anything highlights.

5. I've found that using Escape to cancel an action often takes me into the Game Menu. I'vermoved Escape from Cancel Action and just use the right mouse button.

6. I'd like a way to make a note or marker on the map.

7. In the Inventory, for an item in the Hot Bar, if you right click to get the context menu, it will always say "Add to Hot Bar" rather than "Remove from Hot Bar". If you click "Add to Hot Bar", the item is moved to the nearest empty spot. I found this counter-intuitive. Either change it to "Remove from Hot Bar" or disable the option.

8. Along the same lines, you can drag and drop an item off of the Hot Bar to remove it, or drag and drop an item from Inventory to the Hot Bar. However there's no right click context menu to allow you to drop, use, throw, equip, etc. You have to go into Inventory. If you click an item in the Hot Bar, you get the default action for the item.

1 and 2 are, I think, not really implemented yet.

4 : Highlight interactable objects by holding the alt key. Containers are generally not highlighted.
Also, you can highlight creatures and characters by pressing the tilde key (the key left of 1).

5 : Cancel a selected action of any kind by right-clicking. (i.e. it is already set as a default system, though not mentioned in the keybindings. That could be a thing to add in the tutorial info.)

6 : pretty sure it is an upcoming feature.

Thanks for the reply.

4. If you hold tilde, you get pretty much anything living. If you hold Alt, you get tooltips which highlight most containers, like bodies, chests, etc. I'm looking for something that highlights other objects of interest, such as the brain jars, pods, etc. The things that highlight if I move my mouse over them.

5. The Cancel Action, at least in my version on the Mac, has both Escape and Right Mouse Button. I found that when using Escape to cancel actions, such as Jump, I often went to the game menu, so I removed Escape and left the Right Mouse Button only.

Thanks for the link. Looks interesting.

EDIT: Thanks again. Lots of useful information.

You are correct that it does not highlight all interactables.

I agree with you it should, with some exceptions that would be set by the level designers (i.e. hidden things not yet revealed).

Might as well add to the list:

9. Does the Climbing Toggle do anything yet?

10. Toggle Turn-Based Mode doesn't seem to do anything. I can enter or leave Turn-Based mode using Space and Shift-Space. Not sure why a toggle is needed.

11. If you assign a key to Short Rest, Go to Camp, or Leave Camp, they don't seem to do anything. The Short Rest and Go to Camp buttons beside the minimap work.

12. The Party Management button doesn't seem to do anything.

13. Previous and Next Hot Bar don't do anything for me. I made sure I had something in the Hot Bar that was hidden for testing.

14. What is Toggle Actions Bar on Hot Bar supposed to do?

15. More issues with Escape. I tried to Skip a Video and it went to the game menu and continued the video when I resumed. Has anyone had any luck skipping short videos?

16. I believe that Show Sneak Cones are supposed to show your visibility when you Sneak, but I didn't see anything.

17. Does Place Ping Beacon do anything yet?

And one more picky interface issue.

If you move the members of your party around on the lower left of the main screen, all of the information panels shift to follow that sequence except for Inventory. So if I start with the PC, Shadowheart, Gale, and Lae'Zel, and move Lae'Zel between the PC and Shadowheart, the Inventory panels still show the original sequence with Lae'Zel at the end. It seems to be the sequence in which you added companions to your party. All the other information panels, Character Sheet, Equipment, and Spells, reflext the sequence changes.

If you use the Next/Previous Character command/buttons, the sequence follows the main screen order.
