Further suggestions after playing a while. Some or all of these may have already been discussed but search only goes so far. Apologies for any duplication.
1. As I have seen discussed, the HotBar needs work. It's very difficult to arrange. You can add things either by dragging or right clicking, but you can only remove by dragging. There is no right-click option for anything in the HotBar. The other issue is that once your HotBar is filled, you end up with entries off the main screen. I would rather have to look up everything rather than remember what's in other HotBars.
2. That leads me to my main suggestion. I noticed that when you click Throw, there's a popup for anything in your inventory that can be thrown. I suggest that having at least an option to do the same thing for other categories would be useful. Those special actions would include besides Throw:
- things you can consume, such as food and potions
- scrolls you can cast
- spells and cantrips you can cast organized by type and level
- objects such as special arrows and missiles
- other usable items that you might need to activate
It might be easier to group special actions this way as well, as the number available will likely increase.
If these actions were like the Throw action, they could either be actions to the left of the portrait or special actions that could be in the HotBar. That way, you'd have access to everything without the HotBar being completely cluttered. You could fill out the HotBar with specific items or spells if you wanted them to be obvious, or you could reduce the size of the HotBar to the minimum required to hold the special actions.
Presumably one would want all of their spells and so on in the popup, but if not, the option that already exists under Gameplay would let you turn it off. In that case, an additional "Add to PopUp" right-click option would be useful to populate the popups the way you want.
3. It would be nice to be able to right-click on an item in the HotBar with options like Throw, Cast, Drop, Move out of HotBar, and so on. The need is less if the popup actions in #2 are implemented, but handy nonetheless.
4. I noticed that if I lock the HotBar, I can still add to the HotBar but I can't drag to remove. Seems like it should be both or neither.
5. I'd like to see an Inventory auto sort option under Gameplay options. Setting the option would sort the inventory in the specified manner automatically each time you opened the inventory panel. You could still move things around without auto sorting, at least until the next time you close and open the inventory.
