Why can't developers into good UI's anymore?
>>
>>730618161
BG3's UI seemed pretty good to me, you could customize rows and had several tabs and inventory sorting worked well and you had a search bar
what was wrong with it?
>>
Poor playtesting, and the wrong playtesters. They use retards off the street who don't play vidya, and they don't care about UI because anything that happens on the screen either confuses or amazes them. It takes time to figure out what does or doesn't work, and devs just want to rush a product out the door.

UI design and similar attract women who prioritize appearance over functionality.

It was too cluttered even compared to div os2. They really need to simplify loot and get rid of useless junk.

What UI mods for BG3 are noteworthy?
>>
>>730618161
Too much reliance on AI
You gonna stream NR again tomorrow?
>>
>>730618554
Then why is every UI today flat material garbage made up of squares and diamonds?
UI SHOULD be pleasing to look at. You can blend form and function just fine.

Better Hotbar mod makes the hotbar slots smaller and increases the amount so you don't have to scroll so much.
>>
>>730619124
easier to scale, faster to push out(this one is important to the business). and its hard enough to get a flat design built by your engineers accurately

Looks decent enough. What's wrong with that? My issue has always been not having enough slots to put in skills because there's so many of it.

Your brain.

Obsessed.

what happens when you press the current character button?
>>
>>730618161
Because good UI design is having no UI and most game devs are too stupid to realise this. Arc Raiders is a prime example of UI done right, their snow maps added a frost effect that will kill you but its shown by snow building up on the player model.

99% of game devs would add a bar from 0 to 100. WoW is a prime example of how to ruin a video game with UI on the other hand.

>>730619643
wow's mistake was adding immersion breaking dungeon/raid/bg finder tools
>>
>>730619865
And now instead of banning and removing addons as well, they're adding their own tools on top.
>>
>>730618284
Every time I resized the interface I had to resort all my rows and tabs.
>>
>>730619643
You cant do that with a crpg with hundreds of possible contextual buttons.

Ok unc.
>>
>>730618161
because companies don't fucking care
I've been craving for keyboard-friendly interfaces since forever, but they won't fucking give them for some fucking reason. shit like
>pgup/pgdn to scroll, or to switch tabs
>alt+highlighted letter to jump to relevant fields or sections
>alt+number for sorting items (by name, stat, type, etc.)
>tab to switch between fields
but no, everything has to be a gross controller-driven or mouse-driven shitfest. meanwhile controllers get shit like L1/R1 to switch screens while PC gets nothing

Yes you can. Its a video game. You can literally do anything.
