Please bring more support to the controller players who want to customize radial menus! Here are a few suggestions on ways to improve the interface:

  • Move radial menus to the left or right of the current position
  • Delete all radial menus except the last remaining radial menu
  • Select multiple radial items to move or delete as a group
  • Sort radial items by alphabetical order ascending or descending from the top-middle item
  • Sort radial items by action, bonus action, reaction
  • Sort radial items by class actions, racial actions, magic item actions, and miscellaneous
  • Sort spells on the radial menu by spell level and alphabetical order
  • Lock item actions to make switching items less of a hassle for radial menus (for example, thrown weapons with special actions that get removed when thrown and disorganized when returned)
  • Lock item actions for inventory items that can be expended, but are likely to be added back (think healing potions, throwable items, and magic arrows)
  • Add radial menu styles like Spells, Weapon Attacks, Throwables, Consumables, etc. for easy menu creation (please make a weapon radial that includes melee and ranged in the same menu)


For a bonus - allow an undo button for any changes made to the radial that could be annoying, like accidentally deleting a radial with a bunch of work put into it!

I'm sure there are plenty of other ways to improve using radial menus but moving, deleting, and sorting the menus would be a big plus!

PLEASE UPDATE THE RADIAL MENU INTERFACE! Console gamers need some love galehearteyes

Agreed. The radial menu is poorly implemented. Sometimes it takes seconds to find even the most basic actions, even though I try to organize it accordingly. Whenever a new skill, action or item is added the whole setup is ruined. I'm sure even a rookie designer could think of a better system than the current one.
