For anyone who hasn’t yet checked out the Nexus since the game’s release, an inventory UI replacement mod has already been out for some days. It gives you a way more compact and useful inventory interface with clickable columns that you can sort by, and most importantly the value per mass column. The most important item stat in Bethesda games.
Another thing you can do is add temporary columns of many different stats to compare your items. It also shows that quantity of an item you already have while shoping. And probably other things.
Some silly UI oversights i’ve found:
Your “mana bar” is the blue line over (under?) your HP bar.
Yes, but do i have enough mana to use my skill right now? It doesn’t really tell you.
I guess it does by not letting you use it.
My biggest UI gripe has to be the lack of a Contraband menu, instead you have to search through all your gear looking for a tiny yellow or red tag.
Yeah i just don’t bother picking it up (at least after the first time). The money isn’t really worth it when you could just loot spacesuits or guns etc.
Which is hard to do when quick looting because you can’t see the tag, the whole contraband system is such a pain.
Yeah, I would like to see an overall list of buffs from magazines for sure, but good news is you don’t have to keep them in your inventory to apply!
