I like the hotbar much more than that ungly nonsence Solasta is calling ui. :-/
Oh no, now you done did it!
I feel bad that SOMEONE is going to fall for this obvious provocation :P
I'll be hiding out somewhere. No doubt essays are being furiously typed at this moment.
It really shouldn't be that hard to do a better UI than Solasta did. Solasta's UI is simple, functional, with little for aesthetics.
I don't think it'd be too much to ask for an functional, aesthetically-pleasing UI to be in Baldur's Gate 3.

It also wouldn't be that hard to improve the hotbar, limit carryable items to 6, have a separate hotbar for spells by default, etc.
I think an improved hotbar or functional UI should be obtainable, keyword "should".
