Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Spell levels indication by icons on hotbar ... (horrible name for topic)

So ...
As that horrible name suggest, i would like to talk about spell icons once more.

This time about those small Roman numerals we have on lower right corner, telling us what spell level the spell we are about to use is.

Curently as we all probably know, our bar looks aproximately like this:


But there is a bug on Chromatic Orb right now ... wich i didnt want to talk about.
And the Misty Step from the Neck we can loot from Minthara dont actualy cost us any spellslots ... wich i also didnt want to talk about.
So actualy it should have look more like this:


Meaning all leveled spells are proudly showing us that they are castable by using level 2 spellslot.
As far as i know (and feel free to corect me if im wrong) all spells are castable by using higher spellslot ... i believe the process is called upcasting?
Therefore logicaly, every single icon on our bar would say "II." right now, "III." on level 5 and "IV" ... "V" ... "VI" ... and maybe some day even "VII." in the distant future.

But since all spells are showing us the same level ... since they all can be upcasted ...
And since our max spell level is showed right there between spellslots ...
This information seems quite meaningless to me.

THEREFORE (and yes, just now im geting to the point)

I suggest that spells on hotbar should NOT show maximal possible level for casting ...
But on the contrary MINIMAL possible level for casting.

Reason is simple ...
I can allways cast Mage armor by using II. spellslot ... but i can never cast Misty Step using I. spellslot.

Therefore if spells would show their MINIMAL possible level for casting, we would at first sight see wich spellslots we have to save up for later use ... and wich we can freely use, bcs we either arent going to use it for anything important, or we still have enough of them.

The same hotbar would then look aproximately like this:



What do you think about this? O:)
